Fat Isn’t the Enemy—It’s Fuel For decades, women were told to fear fat. Low-fat diets, fat-free labels, and the idea that eating fat makes you fat dominated the health conversation. But science (and lived experience) now tells a different story—especially for women in perimenopause and beyond. During this stage of life, hormonal shifts affect everything…

The Midlife Sleep Mystery You’re exhausted all day—but the moment your head hits the pillow, your brain turns on like a light. Or maybe you fall asleep just fine, only to wake up at 3AM, restless and staring at the ceiling. Sound familiar? Sleep disturbances are one of the most common and frustrating symptoms of…

There comes a moment for many women in their late 30s or 40s when the body starts whispering, then shouting, that something is shifting.

The whole atmosphere feels festive, sophisticated, and a little daring. Yet, amongst all the fashion…

Have you ever had a moment in your life where you’ve asked yourself “What the hell am I doing with my life” or maybe you’ve gone to a funeral and it’s triggered you to start questioning your own life.  I know I have, especially after significant events in my life.  I wonder if you stop…

We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. I was recently accused of being hypocritical. It happened when I suggested to someone that they see a financial advisor, even though I don’t use one myself. The situation got me thinking. My money circumstances are different from this person’s.
