    Self-Doubt Is Not Imposter Syndrome

    Dvora spent forty years as a nurse and never once had to explain what she did. Now she does something that takes a paragraph, and it still does not land. This episode is about what she felt on the drive home from that conversation, and why naming it accurately matters more than most of us realize. In this episode, we talk about: The difference between self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and why confusing them keeps women stuck Why "you are early" is a more useful sentence than "your perception is broken" What happens when even a man who builds and sells companies cannot place what you do Why a polished elevator pitch can sound good and describe nothing What sitting with self-doubt actually means, and how that advice gets misused as permission to stop Why the evidence and the doubt keep sitting next to each other, even when strangers stop you on your morning walk What eight weeks of coaching actually looks like, described plainly Taking a seat at a table nobody offered you About Dvora Citron Dvora Citron is a Registered Nurse with forty years in the field, a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, a Lifestyle Medicine practitioner and the founder of slant2plants®. Twenty-five of those nursing years were spent with teenagers, their families and an entire school community. She has been living a plant-based, lifestyle-medicine life for at least eight years.

    The Room Where Women Stop Apologizing

    Valerie Mummert designs in-person retreats for women, and she has spent years watching what happens when you put a group of women in a room together and give them three days. She sees who arrives apologizing. She sees who takes up more room by day two. In this conversation we get into what actually happens inside that room, what it takes for a woman our age to walk into it, and what she manages to carry home. In this episode, we talk about: Why loneliness is a mortality risk, not a mood problem, and what the WHO found last June The difference between a vacation and a retreat, and the red flags on a retreat sales page Why your retreat starts the day you say yes, and what a luggage tag has to do with belonging Decision fatigue disappearing, and the silent morning that makes people panic What women really mean when they say they don't have the time or the money The mini retreat: a hotel five miles from your house, and why it counts An 86-year-old who wants to drive a forklift About Valerie Mummert Valerie Mummert is a retreat and event strategist and a certified life coach. She partners with women entrepreneurs to bring their in-person events to life, handling the logistics so they can show up as the expert rather than the event coordinator. She grew up making lists for everything, raised and homeschooled seven children in a blended family, raised and homeschooled seven children of her own, and ran church events, retail and conference logistics before building her business around what she had been doing for free her whole life.

    Taking Up Space at the Table: First We Grieve the Body We Thought We Would Have

    Episode 42: Taking Up Space at the Table: First We Grieve the Body We Thought We Would Have Solo episode. Space in the Body, the first of the four dimensions of taking up space. Education, not medical advice. This episode discusses fasting, GLP-1 medications and hormone therapy. Talk with your own healthcare provider about what is right for you. I hid my vegetables in a napkin when I was three. By the time I was a teenager, the lesson at our table had changed from what to eat to how much room I was allowed to take up. Vegetables are now practically my profession, and I still carry the diet culture I learned from the same woman I later worked alongside at an eating disorders clinic. This episode is about the gap between knowing better and living better, and about what actually matters nutritionally for a woman over fifty once you stop eating for size. In this episode, I talk about: The lesson at the table that did not start until puberty, and the two different rules my parents had about who was allowed to take up room Working at the UCLA eating disorders clinic alongside my mother, and carrying the diet culture home anyway Why women over fifty overload protein and miss the thing that matters more, which is fiber The protein range I work from and why the number goes up in your mid-sixties Intermittent fasting windows that help versus restriction wearing a new name Thirty-seven rounds of ProLon, and the honest reason I keep doing it How GLP-1 medications actually work, and the twenty-five to forty percent nobody mentions The three things I tell a woman who is starting one How your own body makes more GLP-1 in response to fiber, for free What changed in my closet, and the question to ask every piece of clothing you own “Savta, is that vegan?” and the word I made sure my granddaughters heard Why the goal shifted from smaller to stronger, and why the old goal is still in the room One thing to do this week: Add one high-fiber food to one meal a day, every day this week. If you have been skipping breakfast in the name of fasting, make it breakfast and make it fruit.

    Taking Up Space in the Exam Room: You Are the Leader of Your Medical Team

    Episode 41: Taking Up Space in the Exam Room: You Are the Leader of Your Medical TeamGuest: Dr. Jordan Emont, MD, MPH, MSCP Education, not medical advice. This episode discusses hormone therapy and other treatments. Talk with your own clinician before changing anything about your care. So many of us have walked out of an appointment feeling rushed, unheard, or told that what we are feeling is just aging. Dr. Jordan Emont is a board-certified OBGYN and certified menopause practitioner who built his practice around the opposite: appointments that run 60 to 90 minutes, for women who have been dismissed everywhere else. We talk about why the system keeps failing women our age, what is actually happening in our bodies that gets waved away, and what each of us can do to be heard. In this episode, we talk about: Why he finished residency at Columbia knowing almost nothing about menopause, and what he did about it The first symptom of perimenopause, which is not a hot flash: “I just don’t feel like myself” How estrogen loss drives blood pressure, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and visceral fat, and why almost no one connects those dots for you Why menopause is not a gynecologic condition but a full body life transition, and why every specialty should be able to treat it What happens to breast cancer survivors who are told hormones are off the table and then told nothing else Why your doctor only has fifteen minutes, how reimbursement created that, and what direct primary care offers instead The sexual health conversation 90 percent of women want their doctor to start, and how rarely it happens The exact language that gets a clinician to lean in when you describe your symptoms About Dr. Jordan Emont: Dr. Jordan Emont is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner with degrees in medicine and public health. He specializes in menopause, perimenopause, women’s longevity, and complex conditions that too often get missed, with a particular focus on cancer survivors excluded from menopause care. He sees patients virtually across several states and also practices at a community health center.

    Taking Up Space: Midlife Confidence for Women 50+

    Episode 40: Taking Up Space: Midlife Confidence for Women 50+Season 3 Premiere - Solo episode with Dvora Citron, RN, MS, NBC-HWC Season 3 of Sexy in Your 60s is called Taking Up Space, and this opening episode defines exactly what that means and what it does not. Dvora starts in her father's petite women's clothing store in Los Angeles, where she spent her childhood watching women in dressing rooms, and traces a line from there to why so many women 50 and older quietly stop trying things on. This is not a pep talk. It is an argument about confidence, identity, and what the research actually says about staying engaged with your own life. In this episode, we talk about: - What taking up space actually means, and why it has nothing to do with being louder or demanding more- Where midlife guilt really comes from, and why it is not laziness or a failure of discipline- The roles that expire in midlife, and the confirmation that disappears with them- Why "imposter syndrome" is the wrong phrase for a woman who is genuinely new at something- What the research on social connection and purpose says about longevity- Dvora's own reckoning after two back surgeries and two hip replacements- Why her mother plays golf in her eighties without finishing the course About Dvora Citron: Dvora Citron is a Registered Nurse with more than forty years in the field, a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, a Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner, and the founder of slant2plants. She helps women 50 and older become the CEO of their own healthy aging, with the clarity, structure, and support to make it last.
