Dear Midlife...Ditching Diets and Going Low Carb to Age Like a BossLadies, buckle up because today’s guest is bringing the truth bombs you need to hear! Our guest, Lori Balue is not here to sugarcoat anything—literally. You know...with 88% of the population being insulin resistant, it’s no wonder we’re in the middle of an obesity epidemic, and Lori is on a mission to help women over 50 take back control of their health, their bodies, and their future. Lori is a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Adapt-Certified Functional Health Coach, and she’s all about ditching the BS diets, fixing your gut, and making sure you do...2025-03-101h 11
Dear Midlife...Breaking Free and Leaving the Grind Behind to Design a Life You LoveEver Felt Stuck, Burned Out, and Wondering WTF is Next? Yep, me too. Trapped in a job that sucked the life out of me, clinging to what felt “safe” even though it made me miserable. Stuck in the muck, as today's guest, Michael Gardon, calls it. Sound familiar? Mike knows a thing or two about breaking free. He walked away from corporate burnout, turned a side hustle into a million-dollar business, and built a framework called Advantage Mapping to help others do the same. He’s a 3x entrepreneur, career pivot pro, and founder of The Break Communi...2025-03-0351 min
Dear Midlife...Unleashing Happiness: Life Lessons We Can Learn From DogsYou know, back in 2019, I made a decision that everyone in my life thought was completely out of character. I got a dog. That’s right—me, allergic to dogs, raised in a family of “definitely-not-dog-people,” decided to throw caution, logic, and my sinuses to the wind and bring home Oliver Van Winkle Tinkle. Yes, that’s his real name. And let me tell you, Ollie didn’t just chew through my favorite shoes—he chewed through my old way of life. Fast forward past middle-of-the-night potty breaks, chewed-up underwear, and a global pandemic, and guess what? This single mom...2025-02-1750 min
Dear Midlife...From Pain to Power: Unlocking Your JoyIn our pre-chat with every guest we have on our show we share a disclaimer with them...Trinity says she's a cusser, and Shelby claims she's a crier. (Though, Shelby often cusses as much as Trinity and Trinity is trying to stop!) The irony of these acknowledgements is that Shelby realized in this conversation with our guest, Tamar Gersh, that she may actually have a hard time CONSCIOUSLY feeling her emotions. The reality is that she can't control the tears sometimes. That is her normal reaction to so many thing...things that are sad, things that make her happy...2024-10-291h 03
Dear Midlife...Letting Go of the Father Wound and Reclaiming Your PowerSo, here’s the thing, we all have suffered our own traumas in childhood. Shelby lost her mom at an early age and had to navigate that feeling of abandonment and struggled with forming an unconditional bond with a new mother, which caused her to feel as though the only way she could "prove" herself worthy of love and acceptance was to embody perfectionism. Trinity's biological father left at a very early age, never to return. Then, when her sister's father stepped into their lives, it was tumultuous. He was threatening and abusive and, as a result, th...2024-10-211h 10
Dear Midlife...Elevate Your Health by Resetting Your GenesYou know, We've both spent the better part of our lives chasing optimal health. Shelby's mother passed away when she was 7. Her mother was just 30 years old and the autopsy suggested that she died of cardiac arrest due to complications with an undetected autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's Hypothyroiditis. And as she reached adulthood and had 2 daughters of her own, Shelby swore she would do everything in her power to remain strong and healthy for her girls. She didn't want to leave them without a mother.Shelby is not the only one. So Many women struggle with our...2024-10-141h 12
Dear Midlife...Navigating Grief with Curiosity and CreativityWhen Shelby was 7 years old, her mother passed away and then Shelby's father passed away at the very end of December 2022. When Trinity lost her mother when she was in her 20's, it was profoundly painful. Needless to say, experiencing the loss of a parent is one of the most traumatic experiences we can have.Our guest today, Jocelyn Bates, lost BOTH parents within the span of 7 days and under the most distressing circumstances during the COVID pandemic. I don't know if any of you have experienced such loss, but it has taken us YEARS to heal...2024-09-231h 10
Dear Midlife...Finding Your Purpose Using Gene KeysTrinity has been having this feeling lately that there is something new on the horizon. It's like this knowing in her bones that she's meant for more. She IS making a short-term move to Arizona and keeps thinking maybe this is a fresh start and wonder if that has something to do with it...But, then she's like nope! There's something more here, but she just can't quite put her finger on it. Have you ever felt that way?That feeling is what possessed us to start this podcast and....to keep going for 2+ years! We just...2024-09-161h 04
Dear Midlife...Using Bloodwork to Solve your "Unsolvable" Health ProblemsLast year Trinity's son became very sick with a chronic illness. He had all kinds of crazy symptoms. He couldn't keep anything in his stomach and lost 100 pounds and it was truly difficult to pinpoint the root cause of the issues. As a matter of fact, they spent the better part of a year trying to get to get a true diagnosis to bring her son some relief so that he could return to living a normal life. Here's the thing, chronic illness can take so many forms: muscle pain, joint pain, fatigue, insomnia, poor digestion, irritable bowels, hormone...2024-09-091h 11
Dear Midlife...Reversing Disease Through Fitness, Fasting, and NutritionTrinity recently landed herself in the hospital because she's been so overwhelmed with a work project that she just started neglecting herself. She was eating the bare minimum each day, she wasn't sleeping and was, essentially, depriving her body of everything it needed to remain focused on her work. For the first time ever she acknowledges that she really felt this wake-up call. Her body was like, "excuse me bitch...what the hell do you think you're doing?" She was having heart palpitations, brain fog, was shaking and sweating and, ultimately, found herself at the hospital in fear and...2024-08-261h 12

Pam is the Host of Hot Flash Mama Podcast and an expert on all things menopause because, where most women go through menopause once, Pam has been through it TWICE.

The funny story is that she sent the results some of her BFFs with a big arrow pointing to "post-menopausal" comment and each had a different reaction...one said, "HOORAY!!!"
