    Finding Yourself Again: Identity, Purpose & Reinvention for Women in Midlife

    Have you ever looked around at the life you've built and wondered, Who am I outside of all the roles I play? In this episode of The Wellthy Healthy Life, Nicole sits down with Wendy Guth and Krystal Eicher, founders of Serendipitous Rebel, to explore one of the biggest challenges many women face in midlife: rediscovering their identity, purpose, and passions after years of prioritizing everyone else. Whether you're navigating an empty nest, a career transition, entrepreneurship, divorce, or simply feeling called toward something more, this conversation will help you understand why so many women experience a midlife identity shift—and how to move through it with confidence. Together, they discuss the importance of community, personal growth, women's empowerment, and creating intentional space to reconnect with yourself. They also share the SAVER Method, a framework designed to help women step outside their comfort zones, align with their purpose, embrace self-care, and create more joy in everyday life. If you've been feeling stuck, questioning what's next, or searching for clarity during this season of life, this episode is your reminder that you're not starting over—you're evolving.

    Why 93% of OB-GYNs Aren't Trained in Perimenopause — and What to Do If You've Been Dismissed

    You're not imagining it. You're not "just stressed." And you're not alone in feeling like your doctor doesn't have answers. Surveys show that 93% of OB-GYNs don't feel comfortable treating perimenopause — and only 1 in 5 medical schools even include training on this stage of a woman's life. So when you leave an appointment feeling dismissed, that's not a you problem. It's a system problem. Dana Culp is a physician and founder of Thrive Midlife Medical who learned this firsthand — not just as a specialist, but as a patient. Despite her medical background, she spent over a year unable to get proper care for her own perimenopause symptoms, dismissed by provider after provider. That experience completely redirected her career. In this conversation we get into: The one flawed study from 2001 that dropped hormone therapy use from 40% to 4% — and why that fear is still shaping care todayWhy perimenopause can hit hard while you're still getting your period, and why high-achieving women often feel it mostWhat estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone each do — and how a good provider figures out where to startThe lifestyle shifts (sleep, protein, movement) that can genuinely move the needle without a prescriptionWhat it looks like to work with a provider who actually specializes in this spaceTake Dana's free perimenopause quiz at thrivemidlifemed.com Follow her on Insta HERE Follow her on Facebook HERE Book a free consultation HERE

    The Birth Control Illusion: What Every Woman in Perimenopause Needs to Know About Hormones, Cycles, and Coming Off the Pill

    Your doctor said birth control would help with your perimenopause symptoms. But did they test your hormones first? For millions of women in midlife, synthetic hormones are being prescribed as a quick fix — masking the very signals your body is sending and leaving you with no real picture of where you are in the transition. In this episode, Nicole talks with Tierra Duncan, women's health educator and author of The Birth Control Illusion, about what's actually happening in your body when you're on hormonal birth control during perimenopause, why coming off the pill after years of use can send your hormones into chaos, and what informed consent around birth control actually looks like. If you've ever been handed a prescription without a conversation, this one's for you.

    Done Playing Small: Real Talk on Fear, Reinvention & What It Means to Be a Woman in Midlife

    What does it actually feel like to wake up in midlife and realize the life you built no longer fits who you're becoming? This episode is unlike any other on The Wellthy Healthy Life — it's a live panel conversation recorded at The Wellthy Healthy Life Live, an in-person event bringing together women ready to get real about this season of life. Whether you were in that room or this is your first time hearing about it, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Nicole is joined by three powerhouse women — Lauren Chesney Anderson, business strategist, Christina Lecuyer, a confidence coach, and Meg Green, a registered dietitian — for an honest, unfiltered discussion on the things women in their 40s and 50s are navigating right now but don't always say out loud. They get into overcoming self-doubt and fear, listening to your intuition when fear is louder, walking away from success that doesn't feel aligned, the hormonal and emotional shifts of perimenopause and midlife, why women struggle to claim their worth — financially and otherwise, what "having it all" actually looks like, and the power of surrounding yourself with the right women. This is the kind of conversation you wish you could have with your most honest, most badass girlfriends. Now you can.
