This week, I’m joined by Courtney Townley, host of the Grace & Grit podcast and a total truth-teller when it comes to midlife women’s health. She’s here to help us stop waging war on our bodies, stop doing everyone else’s emotional labor, and start rebuilding a life that actually works for us.

We’re talking burnout, hormone shifts, people-pleasing, body image, boundaries—and how to stop patching the cracks and start pouring a new foundation.

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.
