    Why Does December Make Women Anxious, Sad, Depressed and Overwhelmed

    If December feels like too much and everyone seems to expect you to hold it all together, this episode is the permission slip women have been waiting for. Chalene breaks down the invisible load so many women carry during the holidays, from money stress and body image to resentment in relationships and pressure to make everything perfect. She shares real messages from listeners, stories from her own circle, and why social media comparisons and unrealistic expectations make December feel extra heavy. Then she walks you through a powerful pen and paper exercise to separate what you can control from what you can let go of, and shares surprising new research on one simple habit that can lift anxiety and depression fast. If you have ever felt secretly tapped out, overwhelmed, or quietly angry at everyone around you this month, this conversation will help you release some of that weight and breathe again.   🔥Join Chalene on Patreon  for all the "age-affirming" surgery Updates  👉 http://chalene.com/more   🎉Camp Be More 2026!!

    The Hormone Red Flags Most Doctors Overlook in Women During Perimenopause and Menopause

    Hormones start shifting way earlier than anyone tells us, and for most women over 35 that sneaky change can make you feel like you are aging in fast-forward. This episode breaks down the hormone symptoms most doctors overlook and explains what is actually happening with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when you suddenly have brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, low libido, or sleep that goes off a cliff. Chalene also clears up the outdated fears around hormone therapy and shares the updated science every woman needs, plus simple natural hormone support options if HRT is not your thing. And if you have ever felt dismissed or confused by conflicting advice, you will hear exactly how to find a clinician who actually understands women's hormone health so you can age powerfully instead of feeling unlike yourself.
