    Ep 38 - Brain Fog, 3 AM Wake-Ups, and Perimenopause: What Your Body Is Actually Telling You | Celia Layman

    Ready to spend a whole day on your own health? Holistically You 2026 is Saturday, September 19: https://www.higherhealthva.net/holistically-you Perimenopause brain fog, waking at 3 a.m. for no reason you can name, and an energy crash every afternoon are real perimenopause symptoms, and they aren't simply what getting older feels like. Maybe you've been told your labs are normal, or that this is just what your forties and fifties look like, or you stopped bringing it up because the appointment is fifteen minutes long. My guest is Celia Layman, a Certified Menopause Coach who came off the birth control pill, landed in perimenopause with GI issues severe enough that she went looking for real answers, and found a doctor who taught her about health sovereignty. We get into why there's so much perimenopause information now that it's become its own overwhelm, why her gut healing didn't finish until she dealt with the emotional wounds underneath, which hormone labs to ask for at each stage of life, and what health sovereignty looks like when you're soft-spoken and feel rushed. Plus Holistically You 2026, where groups of three or more are $95 each instead of $125 and my Living Yoga Blueprint comes free with registration. Key takeaways:Perimenopause brain fog, poor sleep, and the afternoon energy crash have root causes. They aren't simply what getting older feels like.Your gut healing may be waiting on your emotional healing. Celia's GI issues didn't resolve until her body felt safe enough to let go.Health sovereignty is learnable. You can ask why, ask for other options, ask about risk, request specific hormone labs, and get a second opinion.The right labs for your stage of life get to the root cause and validate what you've been experiencing.Small shifts in sleep, nutrition, and movement work in synergy. No overhaul needed. Resources mentioned:Register for Holistically You 2026, September 19. Keynote by Dr. Alexandra Cope, with breakouts on hormones, gut health, pelvic floor, and perimenopause. $125, or $95 each for groups of three: https://www.higherhealthva.net/holistically-youCelia's work, Embrace the Change perimenopause groups and 1:1 Power Talks: https://www.higherhealthva.netThe Living Yoga Blueprint, free with your Holistically You registration: https://radiantlyrootedyoga.com/blueprintWeekly reflections and practices from me: https://radiantlyrootedyoga.com/newsletter Topics mentioned: perimenopause, menopause, brain fog, hormone labs, gut health, health sovereignty. Book referenced: The Body Keeps the Score. About Celia Layman: Inspired by her own transformative healing path, Celia is the life behind Higher Health, LLC, founder of "Embrace The Change" Perimenopause Support, and partner in the vision behind "Holistically You". About Rachel: I'm a life coach and yoga teacher, and I work with the woman who did everything right, checked every box, and built a life that looks good from the outside but can't quite find herself in it anymore. I spent years building exactly that life before I found my way back through yoga, the body, and a lot of deep inner work. Now I help you get off the hamster wheel and come home to yourself, so you can hear your own voice again, trust it, and feel whole, not someday, but now.

    Ep 37 - Grieving What You Can't Go Back To: The Midlife Identity Shift No One Names

    Today I want to talk about something I feel like we don't talk about enough, and that's the grief that shows up when we realize there's a part of our life we can't go back to. Maybe your kids are older now and the years when they needed you for every little thing are behind you, or you left a job, or a relationship changed shape, or your body feels different than it used to. Everyone else sees the milestone, and you see it too, and underneath all of it there's still this ache that's hard to explain to anybody without feeling like you're being ungrateful. I've been there. In this solo episode I share my trust fall of leaving corporate, the burnout that caught me off guard, the one word swap that makes room for gratitude and grief at the same time, and the yoga teachings that give you somewhere to come back to when your body already knows something has ended. Key takeaways: Grief comes with any meaningful ending, not only with death. It shows up most when something that told you who you were has changed. Swap "but" for "and." I'm grateful for this life, and I miss who I used to be. Both halves get to be true. Certainty and grief can live together. You can be completely sure you made the right decision and still grieve what that choice required of you. Before you ask who you're becoming, sit down with who you're leaving behind and ask what she was giving you. Coming home isn't rewinding. It's finding what's been true underneath all of it and getting to know her as she is right now.

    Ep 36 - Mid-Year Check-In: Have You Lost Yourself?

    Mid-Year Check-In: Have You Lost Yourself? We're halfway through the year, and if part of you just wondered whether you're really halfway to where you wanted to be, this episode is for you. So many of us are standing right in the middle, of the year, of our lives, of some big transition, moving through our days on autopilot and quietly losing touch with who we are. In this mid-year check-in, Rachel shares the practice she keeps coming back to, the power of the pause, plus a simple letter-to-your-future-self exercise you can do this week to start feeling like yourself again. Key takeaways: The messy middle is human and not your fault. The power of the pause helps you stop reacting and hear your own voice again. A letter to your future self becomes a compass for the rest of the year.

    Ep 35 - Breath as the Doorway Back to Yourself | Dr. Colleen Quinn

    What if the one thing you do thousands of times a day without thinking could become the doorway back to yourself? In this episode, Dr. Colleen Quinn shares how conscious breath and breathwork changed everything for her after two near-death experiences brought her to the end of her own strength. We talk about the subtle energy body in a way that finally clicks, why energy was your first language, how the words "I am" shape the life you're living, and why filling your own cup first is the thing that lets you pour into everyone you love. Key takeaways: Conscious breath is the gateway to presence, available any moment with no extra time required. The words "I am" are creating your reality, so become conscious of your thoughts and words. And fill your own cup first, because when you nourish yourself first, everything else still fits.

    Ep 34 - Identity Rupture: Why High-Functioning Women Lose Themselves in Midlife | Natasha Ramlall

    Have you ever woken up in a life that looks right on paper and realized you can't find yourself in it? You did everything you were supposed to do, and somewhere along the way the woman in the mirror stopped feeling like you. In this episode I sit down with Natasha Ramlall, an embodied integration coach who works with high-functioning women moving through what she calls an identity rupture, the disorienting space between who you were and who you're becoming. We talk about the messy middle, why pushing harder makes it worse, and what actually helps you find your way through. What we cover: What identity rupture really feels like in the body. Why the question that matters in the messy middle is "what am I willing to let go of?" How somatic and nervous-system work reach what talk therapy can't. The difference between self-confidence and self-trust, and why you can have one without the other. Resource mentioned: Natasha's free guided audio, the Safety Pulse, a ~21-minute practice for finding a felt sense of safety in your body. Get the free audio here.

    Ep 33 - If I Could Go Back, I'd Tell Myself This

    What would you tell yourself 10 years ago? In this episode of Radiantly Rooted, Rachel shares three things she wishes she could go back and tell her younger self about self-trust, the becoming, and what it really means to keep going, plus the one thing no one could have told her. She had to live it. Ten years ago, Rachel stood on the porch of a cabin a home inspector called a money pit. Someone she loved asked if she was really sure. Something in her said yes anyway. That one act of self-trust built the rest of her life: the relationship, the business, the home she'd only dreamed of. This episode is a letter to that woman, and to you, if you're standing at your own version of that moment. Note: this episode includes a section on deep grief. A heads-up is given before that section begins. Key takeaways: Trust the process, even when it doesn't look smart to anyone else. You might already be standing on the line between where you are and where you're going.The work you're doing to come back to yourself is not the delay. The becoming is the whole thing.Keep moving forward in the direction of your dreams. Nine years passed between the moment Rachel knew and the moment she stepped in. She wasn't waiting. She was building.Resources: Free Chakra Quiz: https://rachelhupp.com/chakra-quizRadiantly Rooted, a yogic pathway home to you: https://www.rachelhupp.com/radiantlyrootedBlog post and full show notes: https://rachelhupp.com/three-things-id-tell-my-younger-self About Rachel: Rachel Hupp Cline (E-RYT 200, RYT 500, YACEP) is a yoga teacher, certified life coach, and host of the Radiantly Rooted podcast.

    Ep 32 - If 'What About Me?' Keeps Coming Up, Watch This

    What about me? If that question keeps coming up in midlife, this episode is for you. There's a moment that keeps showing up for so many of us. Late at night. In the car. On a random Wednesday morning when the house is finally quiet. The question floats up: What about me? And almost immediately: Who am I to even ask that? In this solo episode, I'm naming what's actually happening in this season for women in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s. Why so many of us feel "soul tired." Why this chapter isn't a crisis at all. It's a homecoming. I'm sharing the deeper practice of yoga (way beyond the poses), the slow work of unbecoming, and the truth that you're not falling apart. You're waking up. Key takeaways: Midlife isn't a crisis. It's a homecoming. The tiredness you're feeling isn't weakness, it's wisdom. Yoga, the deeper practice, is one of the most ancient pathways for the work of unbecoming. Putting down what's no longer yours to carry so you can reconnect with who you've always been. Through svadhyaya (self-study), you stop seeking happiness in the next achievement and start hearing your own knowing again. You learn to trust yourself, balance effort with ease, and feel truly alive in your own life.

    Ep 31 - When Something's Off (And You Can't Explain Why)

    Doors to Radiantly Rooted open Monday, May 18th. Join the waitlist at rachelhupp.com/radiantlyrooted to be the first to know when enrollment opens. Have you ever had the experience of looking at your life on paper, seeing that everything checks out, and still feeling like something is quietly off? That gap between what your life looks like and what it feels like to live inside it is one of the most isolating feelings a woman can carry, and it is so much more common than we admit. In this episode, I'm telling the story of the first house I ever bought back in 2011, and how it taught me something I didn't fully understand at the time. I'm sharing what I've learned about the hidden exhaustion of capable women, why a long, slow exhale is one of the simplest nervous system tools you have, and the body check-in practice I come back to again and again. We also get into the yoga concept of prana, and the question I've gotten in the habit of asking myself before bed that's quietly changed how I move through my weeks. Key takeaways: The hardest exhaustion to explain isn't physical. It's the slow disconnection that happens when your body moves through the day but you've barely experienced any of it. You can't outthink a body or a mind that are physically and mentally exhausted. A longer exhale tells your nervous system it's safe. Energy isn't designed to move in one direction forever. Ask yourself, "Is any of this coming back to me?"
