    (#023) The Empowering Invitations of Perimenopause with Carine Camara

    In this episode of There She Is, Aimee is joined by Carine Camara, licensed acupuncturist and spiritual life coach, for a deeply affirming conversation about the powerful invitations that midlife and perimenopause bring.   Corinne shares how perimenopause can be a wake-up call and symptoms can be approached not only from a physical lens—but also as messages from the body calling us inward. This is a conversation about listening to your body, questioning old narratives, and allowing yourself to evolve into the woman you want to be.   Listen in to explore how this season can help you release what you've been holding, reconnect to your desires, and build a life that actually reflects who you are now. Some of the Juicy Highlights - Symptoms as information: how hot flashes, dryness, itchiness, headaches, joint pain, sleep shifts, and more can be invitations to pause and listen Somatic release + emotional truth: what might be "bubbling up" after years of repressing anger, sadness, or unmet needs The end of the "reproduce" storyline: how the body's shift can free up energy for you — your heart, your purpose, your pleasure From depletion to abundance: why nourishing yourself isn't selfish; it creates more capacity to love, lead, and give Body acceptance in midlife: learning to honor your changing body with compassion, pride, and even more sensual confidence Mindset + "heart-set": the role of inner dialogue, self-compassion, and nervous system calm in healing and thriving Tools that help you come home to yourself: acupuncture, spiritual coaching, lifestyle support, energy work, and breathwork as pathways to release and renewal Listener Reflection Prompts What is my body asking me to pause and pay attention to right now? Where have I been repressing my truth (anger, grief, desire, needs)… and how might my body be speaking it for me? If this isn't just a new chapter but a whole new novel, where I am the leading character, who exactly do I want to be?

    (#021) Taking Center Stage in Midlife - An Akashic Reading with Jane Sterken

    This week I invited Akashic reader Jane Sterken to join me for a heart-opening conversation—and a mini live reading. I've had two sessions with Jane over the past year, each one a catalyst for growth, confidence, and that unmistakable There She Is energy.  Jane modernizes and reframes "Akashic Records" beautifully as the space of the soul—a loving field that reflects who you truly are and what you're opening into. We talk about moving from grind to flow, releasing limiting beliefs, trusting desire, and why center stage might be the next right place to sit—quietly, confidently—especially in midlife. This may sound and feel mysterious and "woo", and yet it has the potential to inspire and empower you in beautiful ways. If you're open and curious, I highly recommend getting a reading with Jane. She's talented, warm, and generous, and will have your soul shining even more brightly in just an hour! *There are a few long pauses in her reading. They are intentionally not shortened so you can get a feel for a true reading.* In this episode, we joyfully discuss: What the Akashic is - from "records" to an alive, loving mirror of your soul The power of ease over effort - how we've opened to allowing the next right step to appear rather than succumbing to the paradigm of "working hard" Embracing confidence as a practice of confiding in yourself to build inner trust and letting joy lead Allowing our desires to be limitless - there is no ceiling on our joy! A moving, mini live reading and a powerful visual for Aimee's next phase as an empty-nester and midlife woman - and an invitation for all of us to put ourselves center stage   About Jane Sterken Jane is a midlife mama of 3 kids who has been on a deep and exciting spiritual journey since the fall of 2020. About 2 years ago, the Akashic opened up for her and she's eager to share the high-vibe expansive Akashic energy and help people feel more whole and healed by reconnecting with their own heart and soul and JOY! Jane is the intuitive behind Akashic Joy, offering 1:1 Akashic readings, a weekly guided Akashic meditation (Wednesdays, 10:00am PT on Zoom), and a new Akashic + Reiki Joy Immersion—four weeks of readings and distance Reiki to create lasting energetic shifts.  Website: akashicjoy.com YouTube: Akashic Joy (guided meditations & replays) Offerings: 1:1 readings, weekly group meditation, Akashic + Reiki Joy Immersion Work with Jane Book a session or the 4-week immersion at akashicjoy.com Join the Wednesday 10am PT guided Akashic meditation on Zoom Listener special ✨  Let her know you heard her on There She Is! $20 off a single Akashic reading $30 off the Akashic + Reiki Joy Immersion package   Learn more about Aimee Ready to go deeper than the podcast?

    (#020) Why Women Need to Nourish Their Egos

    Welcome back to There She Is! After a summer of family milestones, travel, and soaking in presence, I'm kicking off a brand-new FALL season with a solo episode. In this quickie I revisit a bold comment I made in my last episode—one that made me pause when I re-listened. I wondered - Was that too much? Too confident? Too bold? Here's my conclusion - women are often conditioned to believe that they are "a lot" or "too much". But in midlife, I'm learning to see it differently. It's about knowing, celebrating, and owning your worth.  In this episode, I share: ✨ Why I decided to take the summer off - and the freedom of creating a life on my terms ✨ The story behind my bold, unapologetic comment about finding my dream man ✨ How women's egos are often undernourished—not overinflated—and why building yours may be essential ✨ The practices and reflections that helped me shift from self-doubt to grounded confidence ✨ An exercise from Mama Gina's Holy Trinity that can help you strengthen your own healthy ego - especially if done with other supportive women Let's stop shrinking and second-guessing, and start building the self-worth that allows us to attract—and live—the life we truly desire. 🎧 What bold, brave thought, action, or manifestation will this new season bring for YOU? Tune in and let's step boldly into this new season together! Book a complimentary coaching call with me.

    (#019) Midlife Marriage & Keeping the Spark Alive with Melissa Murphy

    In this candid continuation of my conversation with Melissa Murphy, we drop the filters and let you in on the kind of chat we'd have over coffee or on a hike. We talk about marriage in midlife—how it shifts as kids grow up, the importance of seeing each other again with fresh eyes, and the work (and fun) it takes to keep the connection alive after decades together. Melissa opens up about her own 24-year marriage, the role therapy has played, and what it means to grow together rather than apart. We also wander into the real, behind-the-scenes stuff—my work as a sex and relationship coach, Melissa's exciting new coaching offer for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, and why sometimes the bravest thing we can do is try something new before we hit "rock bottom." In this episode, you'll hear us talk about: How to rekindle intimacy and connection in long-term relationships The surprising benefits of therapy or coaching—for yourself and your marriage Melissa's personalized "Now What?" coaching offer for women ready to feel their best in midlife - just in time for FALL! Why investing in your relationship before there's a crisis is so powerful The joy of listening to that inner voice and saying yes to the thing that excites you Whether you're married, divorced, dating, or somewhere in between, this conversation is full of honesty, laughter, and ideas for creating more love, joy, and connection in your own life.

    (#018) Living for Ourselves - with Melissa Murphy

    What happens when we begin to choose what lights us up — whether it fits into our identity as a mom or not? We reconnect with the woman we truly are. In this heartfelt conversation, Aimee sits down with midlife powerhouse Melissa Murphy — certified nutrition and fitness coach, mom of three, and host of the Now What? podcast — to explore what it means to start living for ourselves after years of living for (and through) our children. Together, they talk about the identity shift that happens as motherhood evolves, the courage it takes to say yes to something new, and how Melissa found her growing edge by training for her first bodybuilding competition — at 54. Inside this episode: Why midlife can be a time of possibility, purpose, and reinvention How to move from perfectionism and paralysis to inspired action — even if it's messy What it looks like to unapologetically reclaim your body, your voice, and your goals Why choosing yourself is a powerful gift to model for your children — even if they don't fully get it (yet) The quiet magic that emerges when we ask, "Now what?" This is a real, vulnerable conversation between two midlife women finding their way back to themselves, while still navigating the ever-shifting landscape of parenting young adults. Whether you're in the fog of empty nesting, craving something more, or simply wondering what's next — this episode is a reminder: This is not the end. It might just be your beginning. 🎧 Listen now and meet the woman underneath all the roles.

    Part 2 of 2 in the "Alcohol & Midlife" mini-series In Part 2 of my conversation with coach and functional nutritionist Teri Patterson, we explore how our relationship with alcohol impacts our relationships with others—especially when it comes to intimacy, sex, and connection.

Together, we explore:   How alcohol can create emotional distance, even in close relationships The vulnerability and beauty of sober sex—and why it can be so intense Why presence is the foundation of real connection  How early sexual experiences shaped by alcohol affect us long after What shifts in partnership and friendship when one person stops drinking The power of shared vulnerability in safe, supportive spaces This episode is an invitation to return to your body, deepen your capacity for connection, and trust in the kind of intimacy that's built on presence, not performance. 🎧 Haven't listened to Part 1 yet?
