Hey friend! Today’s episode is all about menopause. It was inspired by a very revealing conversation I had on my recent vacation that reminded me how much of a mystery menopause STILL is to so many women. In the United States, roughly 1.3 million women experience menopause every year. Globally, that number soars to 25 million! HALF of the world's population will go through menopause in their lifetime, yet there are STILL so many myths floating around this very natural midlife transition that

Hey friend! Are you getting ready to go on vacation this month? Me too! 🙋‍♀️ More than 82% of all US adults–or more than 212 million people–are planning to take a vacation this summer. (That’s a lot of luggage, lol!) But all that travel can be hard on our hormones.

Hey friend! Did you know today is officially the halfway point of summer? Yep! 47 days down and 47 days to go of sun, fun, and celebrating. (And by “celebrating,” I mean drinking.) If you’re a woman in perimenopause or menopause and you feel like drinking this summer is hitting you a little differently, you may be right. Research shows that hormonal shifts in mid life can affect the way our body metabolizes alcohol which can decrease our alcohol tolerance, increase our hangover severity, and
