Burnout doesn’t just happen in therapy rooms or hospitals—it happens in boardrooms, loan offices, and anywhere women are expected to give endlessly without pause. In this episode, we’re joined by Tanner Greenwalt, a seasoned mortgage professional who is changing the way her industry views mental health and success.

Tanner shares her personal journey through burnout, what recovery looked like, and how she learned to set boundaries in a profession that rarely encourages it. We also discuss what burnout really feels like (hint: it’s not just being tired), why slowing down is essential—not selfish—and how mental health should be the foundation of any meaningful definition of success.

We talk about:

• What burnout really looks and feels like in high-pressure jobs
• The hidden emotional toll of careers in finance and service industries
• Tools for completing the stress cycle during your workday
• The lie that burnout is "just part of the job"
• Redefining success around mental health, joy, and sustainability
• Advice we’d give to our younger selves about boundaries and wellbeing
• Why wellness isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity

Feeling off lately and wondering if it's perimenopause—or just life? You’re not alone.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Poldmae a licensed acupuncturist, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and founder of Meadow Hill Wellness, to cut through the noise, demystify midlife, and talk about what’s really happening to your body, your mind, and your identity during this powerful season of change.

In this episode, we dive into how stress mimics perimenopausal symptoms, how to complete the “stress cycle” to support your body, and how to reframe aging from something to fear… into something to celebrate.

In this episode:

• What perimenopause and menopause actually are (spoiler: it’s not just about your period)
• Why mindset matters more than ever during midlife
• The connection between emotional health and physical symptoms
• How society has made women feel invisible—and why that narrative needs to change
• Tools to regulate your nervous system and complete the stress cycle
• What Dr. Poldmae wishes every midlife woman knew about her power, purpose, and health

Protein is having a moment—but how much do you actually need?

In this episode, we’re digging into the hype, the research, and the real-life application of protein intake for women in all stages of life, including perimenopause and menopause. With so much noise around macros and protein powders, it can be hard to know what’s real and what’s just diet culture in disguise.

Elizabeth breaks down the science (with receipts), Tara shares what’s trending in the fitness world, and Maria asks all the questions we know you’re wondering too.

In this episode:

• Why nutrition is more nuanced than social media makes it seem
• How much protein you might need—and what the research actually says
• What you need to know about the RDA
• Red flags when you’re eating too much protein
• Easy sources of protein beyond chicken and fish
• When and why to use protein powder or bars
• Why your overall eating pattern matters more than a single meal
