    Ep. 127 Why Midlife Feels So Much Like Being a Teenager Again

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! A 16-year-old girl and a midlife woman walk into a room… and the emotional energy is surprisingly similar. One is spiraling over a text. The other is spiraling over the dishwasher. Both blame hormones. Both are wondering, Why am I like this? In this episode, we’re talking about the surprising similarities between being a teenager and navigating midlife. From shifting hormones and mood swings to identity changes, relationship rewrites, and figuring out who you are now. Because at both stages of life, you’re learning how to trust yourself, use your voice, and step into what’s next. 💜 Less people-pleasing. More boundaries. 💜 Less shrinking. More self-trust. 💜 Less worrying about fitting in. More confidence in who you are. Different decades. Same fire!!!!!  Comments or suggestions for topics?  Chat@girlcanyoutalk.com   Follow us on Instagram: GIRLCANYOUTALK Links to our favorite things Beam Minerals : BeamMineralsLink use discount code GIRLTALK and get 20% off Paleovalley: to shop the entire store us this link for 15% off anything else you desire from Paleo Valley with this link PaleoValley15  Beef sticks: get 50% off with our link here

    Ep. 124 Empty Nest vs. Not Quite There Yet: What We’ve Learned (and Didn’t Expect)

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! Every stage of motherhood asks us to let go a little more… and no one really talks about how emotional that can feel. In this episode, we unpack the reality of the empty nest, the “not quite there yet” phase, and the identity shifts that happen long before your kids are fully gone. From the emotional buildup that starts in the school years, to the strange limbo of raising technically grown kids who still very much impact your daily life, we talk honestly about the grief, uncertainty, silence, freedom, and “now what?” moments so many moms quietly experience. Ana opens up about her transition after 20+ years as a stay-at-home mom, while Christy shares what it feels like to want to move forward in life… while still feeling emotionally tied to what comes next for her kids. This conversation is about motherhood, identity, letting go, and learning how to reconnect with yourself again in the middle of all the change. Because maybe this season isn’t just about losing a role… Maybe it’s about rediscovering who you are beyond it.  Comments or suggestions for topics?  Chat@girlcanyoutalk.com   Follow us on Instagram: GIRLCANYOUTALK Links to our favorite things Beam Minerals : BeamMineralsLink use discount code GIRLTALK and get 20% off Paleovalley: to shop the entire store us this link for 15% off anything else you desire from Paleo Valley with this link PaleoValley15  Beef sticks: get 50% off with our link here

    Ep. 123 Midlife Fitness Isn’t the Same (Here’s What Actually Works Now) w/ Cat Reisen

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! Something is happening to our bodies… and no one really prepared us for it. In this episode, we sit down with performance and lifestyle coach, certified menopause coach, and nutrition specialist Catherine Reisen to talk about what’s actually going on during perimenopause and menopause, and why what used to work suddenly doesn’t. From the most common struggles women come in with, to the symptoms they don’t even realize are hormone-related, Cat shares a more holistic, 360 approach that goes beyond just workouts. We also get into real client stories, from perimenopause to post-menopause, the “aha” moments that changed everything, and the shifts that helped them start feeling like themselves again. And one thing she wants every woman to remember? You’re not meant to do this alone.

    Ep. 122 Wait…This Is Happening to You Too?” Perimenopause & Menopause Unfiltered

    Click here to send us a quick message!! We want to hear from YOU! Menopause is such a fun little season of life… right? After sharing a reel that clearly struck a nerve, we realized just how many women are quietly experiencing the same things and wondering, “is this just me?” Spoiler… it’s not. Whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or starting to notice subtle shifts, we’re saying it out loud… the funny, the dramatic, slightly unhinged moments that will have you thinking, “okay wait, this actually makes sense now.” Some of it is frustrating, some of it is funny, and some of it is frustratingly funny… and a lot of it makes you question yourself. But maybe the most important part? Realizing you’re not the only one. And yes, we start with the chewing.  Comments or suggestions for topics?  Chat@girlcanyoutalk.com   Follow us on Instagram: GIRLCANYOUTALK Links to our favorite things Beam Minerals : BeamMineralsLink use discount code GIRLTALK and get 20% off Paleovalley: to shop the entire store us this link for 15% off anything else you desire from Paleo Valley with this link PaleoValley15  Beef sticks: get 50% off with our link here
