The Simplicity Sessions Jenn Pike

I am joined by Nikki Piotrowski today, who I met in the fall of 2023 at an event that was filled with incredible entrepreneurs and wellness-preneurs and just humans that were on this different path and trajectory in life that came together.
And I'm so happy that we connected and we've been building a friendship and a workshop together this year.
And I said to her, I really want to have you on the show.
So many women show up here in my community and share hardships over life, motherhood, entrepreneurship, in their body and life and all of these things.
And I really do know that a big part of the healing that happens is when we hear others share their story.
And so that is why I asked Nikki to be here today - she has a powerful story that I think will resonate with many.
Let’s dive in!

Today we’re diving into something that has been part of some of our previous episodes, but I have yet to do an entirely dedicated interview that is all about our breast health, and especially when we're talking about things like breast cancer and warning signs and, you know, testing and imaging and what to do when or if you have a diagnosis in your life and so much more.
And so I am thrilled to introduce you to doctor Jen Simmons, who's an integrative oncologist.
She is a three time author. She has her new book that is out now that we'll be chatting about today. 
She is the founder of Perfection Imaging, and she started her professional career as Philadelphia's first fellowship trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon.
Her own illness herself led her to discover functional medicine and so enamored with the concept of creating health rather than fully focusing on killing disease.
She left traditional medicine in 2019 and founded Real Health MD, which is here to help women along their breast cancer journey to truly heal.
Let’s dive in!

This week's episode is celebrating something pretty amazing, which is the 400th episode of this podcast. The show is going to be turning six this year! 
 
When I first started this show, my commitment was to create a learning space for women who were eager to expand and to achieve deeper knowledge in their bodies, in their minds, their emotions, while also expanding their businesses, and growing their finances. 
 
I really wanted to bring together this energy that I have now called The Audacious Woman, where we don't have to live in perpetual sacrifice and always trading time for energy and time for money and time for resources. 
 
We actually do get to choose and that it gets to be fun and it gets to be exciting, and there gets to be a lot of curiosity and dabbling and experimenting along the way, and that is part of the journey.
 
And so one of the quotes that I have had for many years, and it was in the first show notes on September 29 of 2018, was that our personal wellness journey is one to be enjoyed and not forced, and that we are all craving a deeper level of connection.
 
And I still believe this wholeheartedly to this day.
 
This podcast has actually been a beautiful landing place for me in terms of connection with so many of you in the community.
 
And so when I had posted, what should I talk about in this 400th episode? A big one that came up was my greatest and biggest lessons and integrating all the elements of health and life and motherhood and business and relationships.
 
So that’s what we’re diving into today! Grab your head phones and let’s do this.

Today, I really want to highlight and focus on mastering the midlife shift that we go through into our forties and beyond. 
I'm sitting here as a woman who is 44. I'll be 45 this year, which, when I say that, I'm like, holy heck, when did that happen? But at the same time, I also have such a level of reverence and actually a lot of joy for being where I am at in life now.
In this episode I’m talking specifically about mastering the changes we're going through midlife in perimenopause and into menopause and then the rest of your life that you live post-menopause.
Let’s dive in!

I am recording this on the other side of a full month in Costa Rica at our home as a family.
And let me tell you what a gift for my mind, body, and soul and to spend the time that I did with my family and friends.
I feel so relaxed and so rooted and calm, and yet at the same time, so excited to get back into a rhythm and a routine and back into the work that I do, which I love so much.
And today's episode was actually talking about some of the different ways that I have redefined what success feels like, what winning feels like in my life.
And this is actually an episode that I recorded with my very good friend Kaylor Betts in our brand new studio in Kelowna, BC.
What you will really walk away from this episode with is actionable steps about how you can start to create gradual adjustments and mindful decisions in your own life to avoid burnout, and how to achieve sustainable success, how to create that balance or equilibrium, and how to pursue success that is aligned with your values.
It would be amazing if you would go and share this with all the people that you want to see, you know, wake up and win in their life and create more aligned action, which leads to more simplicity.
Let’s dive in!

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Alison Danby. Dr. Danby is a Naturopathic Doctor and Functional Medicine Practitioner who has focused on immune function and autoimmune conditions for the last 15 years. She is on a mission to change the paradigm of how we medically treat autoimmune diseases. After working to put her own autoimmune conditions into remission, she realized that there is so much more we can do for our clients to support them through this journey.
Dr. Danby's focus is on immune function and autoimmune conditions, and she has spent the last 15 years educating medical professionals about autoimmune care. She is the founder of The Autoimmune Academy, The Host of the podcast Autoimmune Simplified, and an international speaker.
