    Melt Stress with a Simple Mindfulness Practice that Sticks (Yes, Really!) from Author Deborah Huber

    Melt Stress with a Simple Mindfulness Practice that Sticks (Yes, Really!) from Author Deborah Huber

    Have you tried and failed to make a mindfulness habit stick? Many of us are attracted to the benefits of mindfulness—stress-busting, a sense of calm and centeredness, and a sharper awareness of wonder. But making the practice stick? Tricky. In this episode, we explore a simple daily mindfulness practice that anyone can begin using immediately to access the benefits of mindfulness and unlock more joy in their daily life. In this episode, Katie is joined by Deborah Huber, co-author of “Today I Noticed: A Little Book of Mindfulness That Will Change the Way You See the World.” We uncover the difference between meditation and mindfulness, explore how mindfulness can offer life lessons from the grocery store checkout line, and why a regular mindfulness practice lets you experience daily life as new and novel, even as you tread familiar territory.

    No, Really: A Doctor Who Gets Midlife Health Care Should Be Easier to Find (and Affordable). Joanna Strober of Midi Health Bets on Telehealth to Deliver Quality Care

    Like so many women in the swirl of perimenopause, health care founder and venture capitalist Joanna Strober found herself in midlife, suffering the fallout from fluctuating hormones and repeatedly misdiagnosed. What came next was Midi Health, a virtual care company for women 40+, offering high-quality medical care to women in perimenopause and menopause in all 50 states—covered by insurance. We dive into the ways the current healthcare system fails women 40+, cover menopause and its collateral impact ranging from disrupted sleep to depression to “toxic rage,” and get into capital raising as a female founder in the femtech space. Bonus: Joanna and Katie share a peek at their personal meno care routines, products, and must-haves.
