    A Bittersweet Goodbye: Celebrating Tracey & Her Next Chapter

    After almost two years of conversations, laughter, learning, incredible guests, and plenty of honest “Between Us Girls” moments, the Happy Healthy Her Podcast is entering a new chapter. In this very special episode, Cynthia and Lorraine sit down with Tracey as she says goodbye to the podcast and steps into an exciting new season. The three look back at where it all began in January 2025, share some favorite memories from their time together, reflect on what they’ve learned from one another, and talk about how the podcast has changed them along the way. But this episode isn’t only about saying goodbye. Tracey is turning the page and beginning a brand-new adventure with her husband on YouTube! In the second half of the conversation, she shares what they’re creating, why this new project feels right for this season of their lives, and what viewers can expect when they join them. There may be a few tears, definitely some laughs, and plenty of memories as three friends celebrate what they’ve built together and remind us that sometimes saying goodbye to one chapter simply means it’s time to begin another. Thank you, Tracey, for being part of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast from the very beginning. ❤️ 👉 Contact Us: Join the Happy Healthy Her Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61568529938183 *************************** 🔹 Lorraine Kihm - Wellness Coach 🌍 https://innerpathwayswellness.com/ ✉️ lorraine.eve@InnerPathwaysWellness.com YT : https://www.youtube.com/@InnerPathwaysWellness FB: https://www.facebook.com/InnerPathwaysWellness/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/innerpathwayswellness/ *************************** 🔹 Cynthia Penner - Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist and Author 🌍https://https://mymenopausemap.com ✉️ mymenopausemap@gmail.com Check out Cynthia’s Book “MIND MAZE Reclaiming Your Clarity in the Midst of Chaos” https://amzn.to/4pNuche Check out Cynthia’s Book “HORMONE HAVOC Finding Balance Without Losing Yourself” https://amzn.to/48MKfpJ Check out Cynthia’s Book “INSOMNIA IMBALANCE Restoring Your Sleepless Mind and Body” https://amzn.to/4ryPwbU Listen to The Menopause Map Minute podcast: Spotify Apple Youtube *************************** 🔹 Tracey Male - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@naturesprotege LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/natures-protege/

    Beyond Picky Eating: What Your Food Struggles May Be Telling You | Lena Livinsky

    What if picky eating isn’t simply about a child refusing to eat what’s on their plate? In this episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, Cynthia, Lorraine, and Tracey sit down with holistic feeding specialist and pediatric speech-language pathologist Paulina “Lena” Livinsky to look beyond the behavior and explore what may be happening underneath a child’s struggles with food. Lena shares how her own experience as a mom facing feeding challenges with her child helped shape her whole-child approach to picky eating. We talk about the difference between typical picky eating and signs that something deeper may be going on, along with the roles sensory processing, oral-motor skills, digestive discomfort, and the nervous system can play in a child’s eating experience. We also tackle some of the well-meaning things parents do at the dinner table that can unintentionally create more pressure around food and discuss how curiosity can help us better understand what a child may actually be experiencing. Lena also introduces her BLOOM™ Framework, designed to help families look for the root of feeding challenges rather than focusing only on the behavior they see at mealtime. If you've ever wondered whether a child is “just being picky” or whether their food struggles may be telling you something more, this conversation offers a fresh perspective. 🎙️ In this episode: • Picky eating myths • Normal pickiness vs. signs to look deeper • Sensory processing and food textures • Oral-motor skills and eating • Gut health and digestive discomfort • The nervous system and mealtime stress • Why pressure can backfire • The BLOOM™ Framework • Helping children become more confident around food Listen in for a compassionate conversation about replacing mealtime battles with greater understanding, curiosity, and support.

    Healthy After 50: What Actually Matters with Pam Sherman

    There is no shortage of advice telling women what they should be doing to get healthy. Eat this. Don’t eat that. Walk more. Lift weights. Sleep better. Reduce stress. But with so much information coming at us, it can be hard to know what actually matters, especially as our bodies change in our 50s and beyond. In this episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, Tracey and Lorraine sit down with health and wellness coach, author, speaker, trainer, and longtime fitness professional Pam Sherman for a practical conversation about building health that lasts. With more than 28 years in the fitness and wellness world, Pam shares what she believes are some of the biggest roadblocks women face when trying to improve their health, the common mistakes we make in midlife, and why getting back to the foundations can be more powerful than constantly chasing the next diet, workout, or wellness trend. They talk about nutrition, strength training, movement for lifelong health, mindset, weight loss, and the fear some women still have that lifting weights will make them “bulky.” They also explore an important question: What happens when you feel like you’re doing all the right things, but you’re still not getting results? Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that health is not one-size-fits-all. Your body, lifestyle, history, needs, and goals matter. Sometimes the answer is simplifying what you’re doing, and sometimes it means asking more questions and bringing the right professionals onto your healthcare team. If you’re in midlife and tired of all the conflicting health advice, this episode will help you come back to what matters: nourishing your body, moving it well, building strength, supporting your mindset, and learning to listen to what your body is telling you. 🎧 Share this episode with a woman who is ready to feel stronger and healthier in the years ahead, and subscribe to the Happy Healthy Her Podcast so you never miss a conversation. In a world where you can be anything, be happy, be healthy and be kind. #HappyHealthyHerPodcast #HealthyAfter50 #WomensHealth #MidlifeHealth #HealthyAging #StrengthTrainingForWomen #NutritionForWomen #MidlifeFitness #WomensWellness #HealthyLifestyle #PamSherman To find Pam Sherman online visit: https://www.pamsherman.com/ 👉 Contact Us: Join the Happy Healthy Her Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61568529938183 *************************** 🔹 Lorraine Kihm - Wellness Coach 🌍 https://innerpathwayswellness.com/ ✉️ lorraine.eve@InnerPathwaysWellness.com YT : https://www.youtube.com/@InnerPathwaysWellness FB: https://www.facebook.com/InnerPathwaysWellness/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/innerpathwayswellness/ *************************** 🔹 Cynthia Penner - Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist and Author 🌍https://https://mymenopausemap.com ✉️ mymenopausemap@gmail.com Check out Cynthia’s Book “MIND MAZE Reclaiming Your Clarity in the Midst of Chaos” https://amzn.to/4pNuche Check out Cynthia’s Book “HORMONE HAVOC Finding Balance Without Losing Yourself” https://amzn.to/48MKfpJ Check out Cynthia’s Book “INSOMNIA IMBALANCE Restoring Your Sleepless Mind and Body” https://amzn.to/4ryPwbU Listen to The Menopause Map Minute podcast: Spotify Apple Youtube *************************** 🔹 Tracey Male - Natural Health Advocate and Host of ‘Conversations That Heal’ on my YouTube Channel, Natures Protege. 🌍 NaturesProtege.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@naturesprotege LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/natures-protege/

    Who Am I Now? Letting Go of Old Identities in Midlife

    In this episode, Tracey Male, Cynthia Penner, and Lorraine Kihm sit down with mindfulness expert Katharine Chestnut to explore the identity shifts many women experience in midlife. Feelings of burnout, disconnection, or a loss of ambition may not mean you’ve failed...they may be signs that you’ve outgrown an old version of yourself. Katharine shares insights into mindfulness, breathwork, and nervous-system regulation while discussing how to recognize identities that no longer serve you, release them without guilt, and navigate the uncertainty that comes with change. We also explore how personal transformation can affect the people around us and how women can reclaim their autonomy while remaining connected to those they love. If you’ve found yourself wondering, “Who am I now?” this thoughtful conversation will help you see midlife not as an ending, but as an opportunity to rediscover yourself and create a more fulfilling next chapter.

    Stop Ignoring Your Body: How to Listen to the Signals That Could Change Your Health | Beth Mielbrecht

    What if your body has been trying to help you all along—and you just haven't learned its language? So many women spend years caring for everyone else while dismissing their own symptoms as "normal," "just aging," or "something to live with." But what if aches, poor sleep, digestive issues, fatigue, and unexplained weight changes are actually your body's way of asking for your attention? In this episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, Lorraine Kihm, Tracey Male, and Cynthia Penner sit down with health detective and precision healing expert Beth Mielbrecht to explore how women can reconnect with their bodies, recognize meaningful patterns, and stop chasing every new health trend. Together they discuss: • Why your body is always communicating with you • The difference between listening to symptoms and simply accepting them • How social media noise can disconnect you from your own intuition • The simple daily habits that support healing before expensive supplements or trendy gadgets • Why personalized health matters more than one-size-fits-all advice • How food, movement, sleep, and self-awareness work together to support lasting wellness Beth reminds us that our bodies are not working against us; they're working for us. The challenge is learning how to listen. If you've ever felt frustrated by confusing symptoms, overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, or simply ready to develop a healthier relationship with your body, this conversation offers practical wisdom and gentle encouragement to help you take the next step. Because no one will ever know your body better than you.

    What Women Need to Know to Live Longer and Better

    What if living a longer life isn't about finding the next health trend, but about paying attention to the choices we make every day? With so much information about longevity, wellness, and healthy aging, it can be difficult to know what truly matters. In this episode, we cut through the noise and explore the habits, mindsets, and daily practices that have the greatest impact on how well—and how long—we live. We hear a lot about longevity these days, but what really matters when it comes to living a longer, healthier life? In this episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, we sit down with Judy Gaman, CEO of Executive Medicine of Texas, author, speaker, and healthy living advocate, to explore the science and practical realities of healthy aging. Together, we discuss why longevity is about much more than adding years to your life, why this conversation is especially important for women, and the simple choices that can have a lasting impact on your health and well-being. Whether you're looking to improve your energy, take better care of yourself, or understand where to begin, this conversation offers practical wisdom and encouragement to create healthier, more vibrant years ahead. Because healthy aging isn't about perfection—it's about making thoughtful choices today that support the life you want to live tomorrow.
