    Bonus: The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer: Introducing Broad Daze! With Olivia Allen (and Rachel Bilson in spirit)

    Enjoy this episode of Olivia on The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer This week we’re joined by our darling friend Olivia Allen; actress, producer, writer, and one half of the bestie duo behind The Broad Ideas pod with Rachel Bilson. This is a come-back-to-yourself kind of episode. We’re talking full body yeses vs obligation energy, and learning how to trust what actually feels aligned. We dive into returning to your spiritual practices in seasons of chaos, plus human design, the teachings of Esther Hicks, signs from the universe, and intuition vs fear. We also touch on motherhood; having our hearts outside our bodies, how to reconcile that, and how to navigate it when intrusive thoughts start to creep in. There are also some strange (and slightly morbid) signs from the universe we attempt to unpack… plus a very cheeky journal throwback involving a certain list that has us questioning some teenage choices. Plus… we tease something we’re so excited about!! a new long-term partnership with Rachel and Olivia. Welcome to the first of many Broad Daze episodes.

    Introducing The #1 Pharmacist: Creatine, Greens, Electrolytes, What's Worth Buying and What Isn't from The Tamsen Show. Follow the show: The Tamsen Show Managing menopause and perimenopause symptoms is hard enough without a supplement market flooded with products promising to fix hair loss, trouble sleeping, hot flashes, mood fluctuations, skin changes, and so much more. It can feel impossible to know what actually helps and what is just a waste of money. Today's guest on The Tamsen Show, Phil Cowley, has spent 22+ years behind a pharmacy counter watching people walk in confused, overwhelmed, and chronically under-informed. He has seen firsthand which treatments work, which are a waste of money, and what the medical system has been getting wrong about hormones since 2002. Now he is joining Tamsen Fadal to tell the truth that women deserved to hear decades ago. In this episode, Tamsen and Phil cover: - The three supplements worth actually spending money on in midlife and why they will not break the bank - Why anxiety is a depletion of something, not an excess, and what that means for how you treat it - What the 2002 Women's Health Initiative got wrong and why women who came off hormone therapy die younger than those who stayed on it - The real reason your body odor changes in menopause, what is happening at a bacterial level, and exactly how to fix it - Why hair loss in menopause is never one problem and why treating only one cause never works - Why losing lean muscle mass is the single strongest predictor of early death and what to do about it - The $7 estrogen alternative your pharmacist already knows about - Why caffeine does not give you energy, it just hides that you are out of it - The one question to ask your pharmacist that most people never think to ask - Generic versus name brand medications and the manufacturer variance that could be affecting your results This episode is full of answers to questions most women have never thought to ask, but absolutely need to know.
