Earn Your Happy

I love this conversation because it names something so many women feel but rarely say out loud. That moment when you wake up and realize you can’t keep doing things the same way anymore. In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz, we dive into the identity shift women experience in midlife and why suddenly not being able to do it all, for everyone, is not a failure, it’s biology. Dr. Mindy breaks down what’s actually happening in the brain as estrogen declines, why people-pleasing patterns fall away, and how this phase of life is designed to reconnect you to your authentic voice. We talk about marriages, careers, solitude, resentment, and why menopause is actually an initiation into leadership, wisdom, and truth. Tune in to understand why this phase isn’t a breakdown, it’s a becoming.

I’ll be honest, worrying has been one of my biggest personal growth edges. In this episode, Chris and I talk about why worrying isn’t just exhausting, it’s actively stealing your time, energy, confidence, and results. We break worry down from both angles, the logical cost of worry and the energetic impact it has on your business, your relationships, and your decision-making. Chris shares exercises to shut worry down fast, while I dive into the “woo” side of how fear-based energy leads to bad clients, misaligned decisions, and burnout. Get ready to rethink worry, reclaim your power, and start moving forward from a grounded, confident place.

I love when conversations explain why you suddenly feel like you just can’t do things the same way anymore. In this episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz is back to share what’s actually happening in your brain and body as women move through perimenopause and menopause, and why this phase isn’t a breakdown, it’s a powerful rewiring. We talk about fasting in a way that finally makes sense for women, how estrogen impacts everything from motivation to people-pleasing, and how to take back power over your health in your 40s and beyond. Dr. Mindy breaks down the science behind hormone shifts, brain rewiring, and the importance of your cycle and its timing.

If the old tactics aren’t working anymore, it doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re aware, and awareness is power. In this episode, I break down why this season isn’t asking you to quit, it’s asking you to get more intentional. Success is seasonal, effort isn’t always the answer, and when things feel harder than they used to, it may be feedback, not failure. I also share an exercise to turn how you want to feel in 2026 into an actual strategy so your calendar, energy, and actions support the life you’re building next.

Growth doesn’t come from getting it right every time. It comes from staying in the game when things go wrong. In this Best of 2025 He Said She Said episode, Chris and I are bringing together three conversations that shaped us the most this year. We’re talking about the moments that tested us, the risks that stretched us, and the rooms that changed how we think, lead, and live. We share stories behind our most cringe-worthy business moments, why your comeback rate matters more than perfection, what Ferrari, Pagani, and Europe taught us about risk and legacy, and how building the right mastermind can collapse timelines faster than anything else we’ve ever done. Tune in for the mindset shifts you need to recover faster and choose better rooms.
