    Ep: 53 - Season 1 Finale: Becoming the Person We Envision

    Today marks the final episode of Season 1, and we're taking a moment to look back at where it all began. In Episode 1, we asked a powerful question: Who do you see as your future self, and what are you doing today to become her? Over the past year of podcasting together, we've explored that question from many different angles. Again and again, we've come back to one important truth: our daily habits shape our future. The small choices we make consistently are what ultimately define who we become. As we close out this season, we encourage you to reflect on your own journey. How have you grown? What habits have you strengthened? And how much closer are you to becoming the person you envision for yourself? Most importantly, thank you. Thank you for listening, sharing, engaging, and helping us build such an incredible community throughout Season 1. Your support, stories, and encouragement have made this journey truly special. We're excited for what's ahead. Stay tuned for Season 2, and keep in touch with us on social media. If you haven't followed us already, we'd love to connect with you there and continue the conversation between episodes. Thank you for being part of Season 1. We can't wait to continue growing together in Season 2!

    Ep: 52 - Autoimmune Disease Isn't Random: Understanding the Midlife Connection

    Why do so many women seem to develop autoimmune conditions during midlife? In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between perimenopause, hormones, stress, the nervous system, gut health, and autoimmunity. With nearly 80% of autoimmune diseases occurring in women, this isn't just coincidence, it's a pattern worth understanding. We break down why conditions like Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis often become more noticeable during the hormonal transition years, and how chronic stress, emotional suppression, burnout, and gut dysfunction may contribute to immune system dysregulation. From nervous system regulation and gut healing to emotional processing and reclaiming your own needs, this conversation is about empowerment, not fear. If you've ever wondered why your body seems to be changing in midlife, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope.

  3. Ep 51: If you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, forgetful, emotional, or like you're constantly running on empty, you're not alone.

    Ep 51: If you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, forgetful, emotional, or like you're constantly running on empty, you're not alone.

    In this episode, we're diving into burnout through the lens of perimenopause and midlife—a season where hormonal shifts collide with careers, caregiving, family responsibilities, and the invisible mental load so many women carry every day. We break down:• What burnout actually is (and why it's more than just stress)• How cortisol, sleep, and the nervous system become disrupted• Why perimenopause can make burnout feel so much worse• The connection between hormones, brain fog, anxiety, and exhaustion• Why recovery—not productivity—is the missing piece• Practical ways to support your energy, resilience, and nervous system This conversation is about understanding what's happening inside your body, recognizing the warning signs before you hit the wall, and learning how to rebuild your capacity to thrive. Because burnout isn't a personal failure. It's often the result of carrying too much for too long without enough recovery. And recovery is not a luxury—it's a necessity.

    Ep: 47 - The Meal Prep Paradox: Your Fridge is Full of Good Intentions, But your still Calling for Takeout by Wednesday (Here's Why)

    If meal prep worked the way people say it does… you wouldn’t still be ordering takeout halfway through the week. You plan, shop, prep—your fridge is full of good intentions. And then real life hits. You’re tired, overwhelmed, short on time… and suddenly nothing you made sounds good or feels doable. So you grab something quick, skip meals, or order takeout—again. In this episode, we’re breaking down why meal prep often fails (it’s not a discipline problem), and how the way we’ve been taught to do it simply doesn’t match real life. Because it’s not about being more organized—it’s about creating a system that works on your busiest, most chaotic days. What We Cover Why traditional meal prep doesn’t hold up in real life The biggest planning mistakes (overcomplicating, overcommitting, rigid schedules) How decision fatigue and mental load derail your week Why “having no time” is often a systems problem—not a you problemWhere to find us: IG @whatsmyageagain.podcast  / FB - What’s My Age Again Podcast  Email us at:  wmaapod@gmail.com Where to find Tanya: IG @tlcholistic / FB @tlcholistic    https://www.tlcholistic.ca/ Book with Tanya: Join the TLC Community: https://www.patreon.com/tlcholistic Where to find Kim: IG @kimdesmarais.nutrition /FB @KimDesmarais https://www.kimdesmarais.com/
