    Sh*t That Stops Mattering After Your 20s (But We Still Hold On To)

    We all walked out of our early 20s carrying a checklist we never agreed to. What your body count should be. Your friend group size. Whether you were hitting the timeline. Whether enough people liked you. Whether you were busy enough, cool enough, on track enough. And we were deciding it all when our brains weren't even finished yet. In this episode I'm getting into the things women are still quietly measuring themselves against that were never worth the weight in the first place. The friendships we're forcing. The timelines we're white-knuckling. The opinions of people who were never going where we're going. This isn't a listicle. It's a conversation about the rules we inherited, and why you're allowed to put them down now. Even if you're already in your 30s. Especially if you're already in your 30s. 🤝 CONNECT Follow Monique at @itsmoniquetook ⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass of the exact framework I teach my 6 & 7 figure clients to sustain the level of success they want (without burning out) ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    Health Download: What is Inflammation (And Why You Probably Have It)

    If you've ever searched "why am I so tired" or "why do I feelinflamed" and found yourself adding turmeric to your cart and moving on — this episode is for you. Because inflammation is real, it's measurable, and forhigh-performing women it is often quietly running in the background for years before it becomes a crisis. Today I'm breaking down exactly what it is, what'sactually driving it (and it goes way deeper than your diet), and what you can do about it at a root-cause level.   Key takeaway: Most women are treating the smoke alarm and ignoring the fire. Inflammation has specific, measurable root causes and until you identify *your* driver, you are guessing. The goal isn't to eat more anti-inflammatory foods. The goal is to find out what is activating your immune system and address it directly. 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED⁠ — the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Subscribe, Rate, and Review on Apple Podcasts — it genuinely helps more women find the show.

    From Hosting Oprah to Health Crisis: How to Design the Life You Actually Want w Ameera Virani

    Ameera spent 20 years running global events, hosting Oprah, Tony Robbins, Maya Angelou and Ellen DeGeneres on stages before she'd even hit her 30s. She's now a life and business coach helping high-achieving women stop building a life they don't actually get to live. This one is for the woman who is doing everything - building something big, showing up for everyone - and quietly wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough. We talk about the myth of work-life balance, what it actually means to design your life instead of just survive it, and why the women most likely to burn out are the ones who are best at pushing through. You don't need permission to build a life you actually enjoy. But this episode might be the nudge you didn't know you needed.

    “I Hated Sex” - Painful Sex Explained (And How to Heal It) with Emily Abbott

    I wish more women were having conversations like this, especially as someone who struggled with pain with sex for years. In this episode, we go deep into pain with sex and ANY pelvic floor pain, and why so many women are dealing with symptoms they think are “normal” or have been told it’s “their fault”. We talk about: why sex can become painful (and the real reasons behind it)the connection between your emotions and pelvic painendometriosis pain and period cramping - could this also be causing it?why “just doing kegels” isn’t the answer for most women and the tangiable strategies if you’re experiencing symptoms pregnancy + postpartum pelvic floor support (what actually matters and when) We also get into the things that aren’t spoken about enough, the shame, the relationship dynamics, and how much that actually affects your body and your pelvic floor (and it’s way more than you think) This episode is for you if: you’ve ever felt like something is “off”… you’ve felt ashamed that you experience pain with sex, or have any type of pain in your pelvic region. This episode is part tangiable strategy part honest vulnerability but will probably make you feel a lot less alone in your body. 🤝 CONNECT Emily Abbot - Women's Health Physiotherapist Instagram: @emilyjane_unspoken 🧾 LINKS & RECEIPTS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch FULLY CHARGED ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- watch the FREE Masterclass to start your 2026 at an advantage ⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOW Please Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!

    I recommend this to every client. I talk about it on podcasts. I’ve seen it change people’s relationships, their energy, their entire evenings. We’re talking about the decompression walk. A simple, 10-minute shift that acts as a neurological signpost - a transition - between work mode and home mode. So if you find it difficult to unwind after work, you feel guilty for watching a netflix show, or you find yourself mindlessly scrolling on your phone at 11pm to “decompress” this is the episode for you. What We Cover What a decompression walk actually is (and why it works) The neuroscience of switching off (and why your brain struggles to do it)Why you feel “on” all evening, even when you’ve stopped working•How a 10-minute walk can increase your energy (not drain it) The shift from muscluline to feminine and how it changes relationshipsThe easy 3 step options to begin incorperating decompresison walks into your routineAnd if you want to join me - I’m doing a 30 day decompression walk challenge for the month of April (because i’ve completely fallen off the bandwagon for this one (despite me talking about it ALL the time).
