Love to hear your take aways. Send me a message. What if the anxiety, weight gain, exhaustion, and burnout you’re experiencing in midlife aren’t personal failures… but signals from your body asking for a different kind of care? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Terry Tateossian, wellness coach and founder of The House of Rose, to talk honestly about perimenopause, menopause, nervous system regulation, and what it really takes to create sustainable health and vitality in midlife. Terry shares her deeply personal story of being hospitalized with panic attacks in her late 30s, living in survival mode for decades, and ultimately losing over 80 pounds while transforming every area of her life. Together, we unpack how hormones, chronic stress, under-eating, and identity patterns collide during midlife, often leaving women feeling dismissed, confused, and disconnected from themselves. This episode is a grounded, compassionate conversation about advocating for your body, regulating your nervous system, and building practices that support you for the long haul, not quick fixes or temporary transformations. In this episode, we explore: How perimenopause and menopause can show up as anxiety, panic, weight changes, and burnoutWhy nervous system regulation is foundational for midlife healthThe hidden cost of chronic dieting, under-eating, and living in fight-or-flightHormone testing, baseline panels, and learning to advocate for yourselfStrength training, breathwork, meditation, and nourishment as long-term toolsWhy midlife is an invitation, not a breakdownHow recovery time, not perfection, is the real measure of healingIf you’re a midlife woman feeling like something is “off,” this episode will help you name what’s happening, release the shame around it, and reconnect with your body in a new way. You are not broken. You are being called inward.
