    Ep. 140 Sorry Kids, We’re Spending Your Inheritance

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! When did our houses, savings, and retirement accounts become the kids’ inheritance… before anyone has actually inherited anything?  We keep hearing conversations about what younger generations expect to inherit someday, and it got us thinking about our own experiences with money, what we grew up expecting (or didn’t), and whether having to build our own lives shaped the way we look at things differently today. We’re talking about the inheritance mentality, spending and enjoying what you’ve worked for, helping your kids while you’re still here, and that midlife question that seems to come up more and more: If not now, when? Christy shares how her recent Alaskan cruise got her thinking about this exact topic, and we finish with a round of “Spend It or Save It for the Kids?” — from dream trips and first-class upgrades to vacation homes, handbags, and yes… the $27 airport cocktail.  It’s a conversation about money, family, expectations, and figuring out what enjoying the life you worked so hard to build actually looks.  Comments or suggestions for topics?  Chat@girlcanyoutalk.com   Follow us on Instagram: GIRLCANYOUTALK Links to our favorite things Beam Minerals : BeamMineralsLink use discount code GIRLTALK and get 20% off Paleovalley: to shop the entire store us this link for 15% off anything else you desire from Paleo Valley with this link PaleoValley15  Beef sticks: get 50% off with our link here

    Ep. 139 Feeling Unheard: How to Speak Up Without Apologizing

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! Have you ever left a doctor’s appointment thinking, Did they even listen to me? Tried to tell your partner what you need, only to feel completely misunderstood? Or stayed quiet because speaking up somehow felt harder than just letting it go? Feeling unheard can show up everywhere, from our health and relationships to family, friendships, and work. And at this stage of life, we’re realizing we’re a lot less willing to accept it. We’re talking about why so many women struggle to feel heard, the ways we sometimes unintentionally make ourselves smaller, and what we can actually do differently. We get into: Advocating for yourself when something doesn’t feel right with your healthCommunicating what you really need in relationshipsSpeaking up without apologizing, over-explaining, or second-guessing yourselfKnowing when you need to communicate differently and when someone simply isn’t listeningSetting boundaries when your needs continue to be dismissedAnd one we don’t talk about enough: Are we actually listening to ourselves?Because sometimes being heard starts with trusting what you already know, getting clear about what you need, and being willing to say it.  Comments or suggestions for topics?  Chat@girlcanyoutalk.com   Follow us on Instagram: GIRLCANYOUTALK Links to our favorite things Beam Minerals : BeamMineralsLink use discount code GIRLTALK and get 20% off Paleovalley: to shop the entire store us this link for 15% off anything else you desire from Paleo Valley with this link PaleoValley15  Beef sticks: get 50% off with our link here

    Ep 138 Pelvic Floor Health in Perimenopause and Menopause with Cat Reisen

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! What if leaking, urgency, pressure, back pain or even changes during sex aren’t just things we have to accept as we get older? We’re welcoming back Cat Reisen, performance and lifestyle coach, certified menopause coach and nutrition specialist, to talk about one of those midlife topics we probably should have learned about a long time ago: our pelvic floor. Cat explains why pelvic floor issues can show up during perimenopause and menopause, why Kegels aren’t always the answer, and the surprising ways breathing, constipation, sitting too much and strength training can all play a role. We also talk about what prolapse can actually feel like, whether your pelvic floor can be too tight, and when it might be time to see a pelvic floor therapist. And the good news? There are simple things we can start doing now — and according to Cat, it’s never too late to get stronger. You can find Cat at www.CoachedByCat.com or on instagram @CoachedByCat  Comments or suggestions for topics?  Chat@girlcanyoutalk.com   Follow us on Instagram: GIRLCANYOUTALK Links to our favorite things Beam Minerals : BeamMineralsLink use discount code GIRLTALK and get 20% off Paleovalley: to shop the entire store us this link for 15% off anything else you desire from Paleo Valley with this link PaleoValley15  Beef sticks: get 50% off with our link here
