    Today we are answering the question- do you have adult onset ADHD- with Tracy Otsuka. Tracy is a certified ADHD coach and the author of “ADHD For Smart Ass Women. She believes that there is a peri-menopausal onset of ADHD caused by changing estrogen levels. Since there has not been a lot of research into what ADHD looks like in women, many women are misdiagnosed or mis-medicated. Tracy is on a mission to educate as many women as she can about the results of her research on adult onset ADHD in midlife women. She removes the stigma and misconceptions of ADHD as well as highlighting the superpowers. This episode is full of practical information and is a terrific resource for anyone who may feel that their brains are changing in midlife.

    FR Ep #361 Cancer Freedom with Katrina Foe

    FR Ep #361 Cancer Freedom with Katrina Foe

    Today on Feminine Roadmap my guest Katrina Foe talks about cancer freedom. As a cancer thriver herself, she brings not only her medical knowledge to the table but the experience of her own cancer journey. Katrina is passionate about helping middle aged women with cancer. Her focus is on using natural solutions to help with the underlying causes of cancer understanding that those solutions can also increase the success of traditional treatments. When you support the body, the body itself can do its job in addressing the cancer. In this episode, Katrina explains the ten root cause drivers that are behind cancer and how we can address them. The biggest takeaway is that cancer is not caused by one thing, it’s a culmination of several things. Each body and cancer is different so finding bio-individual treatment is key. Katrina encourages listeners to get help identifying the root causes of their cancer in order to help reduce or eliminate the possibility of recurrence.

Inspiring and Informative!

I love Gina’s podcast. She has great guests and I always feel like I’m sitting with friends enjoying a good conversation over coffee and tea.

I come away inspired and learn something new with each episode. This is such a needed podcast for women over 40 and especially over 50. Now is our time to shine!

Thanks, Gina!

So relatable!!!

I just listened to the episode with Betty Franks and found myself nodding my head over and over. I’m 50, came from a corporate background and am now working on my art full time. What most people see as a detriment (my age) I see as an advantage because of all the same things that Betty mentioned. An art degree is not to be diminished but then again neither is life experience. Thank you for highlighting examples like Betty and giving the rest of us the encouragement we need to keep pursuing our own path!
