To celebrate the first 6 months of the Belong Wellness podcast, I’m taking you on a greatest-hits-style trip through some of my favorite moments so far. From big laughs to aha moments, from menopause hormone therapy advice for IUD users to a goddess vision during Reiki, this “Midlife Mixtape” brings the sass, the science, and the soul.

It’s my birthday, and we’re halfway through 2025—so I’m doing a little mid-year reflection and inviting you to join me.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing what’s felt aligned this year, where I’ve made some changes, how my word of the year is going, and why launching this podcast has felt both vulnerable and fulfilling.

What happens when seven friends who’ve known each other for nearly 30 years head out on a girls trip in their 40s? Well… let’s just say some of my expectations about how things might be different now were hilariously wrong.

In this episode, I reflect on my most recent trip with my college girls—and the ways midlife girls trips are both different and beautifully the same. 

If you’re wondering whether menopause hormone therapy (a.k.a. HRT) could help with your hot flashes, mood swings, sleep issues, or that terrible “not like myself” feeling—this episode is for you.

In this expert interview, I’m joined by Dr. Lisa Brent, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in hormone health and integrative women’s medicine. We unpack everything you’ve been confused about when it comes to estrogen, progesterone, perimenopause, menopause symptoms, testing, bioidentical hormones, and more.
