    3 Midlife Fears That Keep Us Up at Night (And It’s Not Hot Flashes | Ep 144

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! You know those thoughts that creep in when you’re alone in the car, lying awake at 3 a.m., or just have a little too much time to think? The ones we don’t post about, rarely bring up with friends, and sometimes don’t even want to admit to ourselves? Yeah… THOSE thoughts. This week, we’re getting a little more vulnerable and opening up about three fears that can sneak up on us in midlife. The funny thing is, we can look like we have it all together on the outside while quietly wondering about some pretty big things on the inside. And what if we’re not nearly as alone in those fears as we think? Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply say the quiet part out loud. We want to know: What’s one midlife fear you don’t hear women talking about enough? 💜  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. 143 When Working Out Stops Working: The Midlife Fitness Reset

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! You’re working out, watching what you eat, doing all the things you’ve always done… so why does it suddenly feel like nothing is working anymore? And what’s our first instinct? Eat less. Work out harder. Push through. But what if that’s exactly what we need to rethink? This week, we’re joined by Lindsey Mathews, fitness coach with 21 years of experience, host of Nourish and Strengthen with Coach Lindsey, and author of Perimenopause Fitness and Nutrition for Dummies. Even with decades of fitness experience, Lindsey found herself facing unexpected changes in her own body that challenged everything she thought she knew. We’re getting personal about what happens when our bodies stop responding the way they used to, the fitness advice that may be working against us, and how to approach this next chapter with more strength, energy, and confidence. Because maybe the answer isn’t doing MORE… it’s doing things differently. And trust us, this is a conversation every midlife woman needs to hear! 💜 Connect with Lindsey Instagram: @trainerlindsey Upcoming Book: Perimenopause Fitness and Nutrition for Dummies Learn More & Pre-Order the Book  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. 142 The Estrogen Patch Plot Twist: What You Need to Know

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! For years, women were told hormone therapy was risky, menopause symptoms were just part of getting older, and sometimes we simply had to tough it out. But what if there’s more to the story? The conversation around estrogen is changing, and so is what we’re learning about menopause, hormone therapy, and the options available to us. In this episode, we’re digging into what we were told, what the research actually says, and why so many women are questioning what they thought they knew. From the controversy surrounding estrogen to the surprising number of treatment options that rarely get discussed, we’re sharing our own experiences, what we’ve learned, and the questions we wish we’d asked years ago. Because the real plot twist? It’s not about convincing every woman to take hormones. It’s about making sure every woman knows she has options. And maybe it’s time we started asking a few more questions. 💜 Resources Mentioned in This Episode 💜 Midi Health: Virtual healthcare specializing in perimenopause through postmenopause, available in all 50 states and accepting most major health insurance plans.

    Ep. 141 3 Midlife Changes We Didn’t See Coming

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! You spend years building a life, figuring things out, and thinking you have a pretty good idea of what comes next. And then… midlife throws a few curveballs you never saw coming. The strange part? Nothing necessarily has to be wrong. You can love your life, be grateful for everything you’ve built, and still find yourself wondering, “Where do I fit now?” Some of the biggest changes we experience in midlife have nothing to do with hormones, wrinkles, or getting older physically. They’re the unexpected shifts that leave us questioning things we thought we’d already figured out. In this episode, we’re getting personal about three changes that caught us completely off guard. The kind nobody really prepares you for, but so many women quietly experience. Because sometimes the hardest part of midlife isn’t getting older. It’s figuring out what this next chapter is supposed to look like. And something tells us we’re not the only ones feeling this way. 💜  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. 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.
