Ever feel like you’re secretly faking it and everyone else somehow knows what they’re doing? Same. In this episode, Amy and Whitney unpack impostor syndrome—why it often gets louder in midlife, why high achievers are the most likely to feel it, and how trying new things (style, careers, creativity, life pivots) can suddenly make you feel like a total fraud.

They break down the five impostor syndrome archetypes, laugh through their own very real examples, and share practical mindset shifts to move from stuck and self-doubting to functional and forward-moving. Spoiler: confidence is overrated, consistency is not, and you’re already more qualified than your brain wants you to believe.

Amy and Whitney take a practical deep dive into pumpkin seeds (pepitas)—why they’re being recommended for midlife women, what the research actually says, and how a simple handful a day might support hormones, bones, cholesterol, sleep, and overall metabolic health. Along the way, there’s real talk about blood work, testosterone swings, seed cycling, and why sometimes the simplest food really is doing the most.

Whitney and Amy dig into PEMF and red light therapy - what it is, why it’s everywhere, and whether lying on an expensive electromagnetic mat actually does anything. Along the way, they detour into perfume obsessions, faux-real Birkins, and opting out of holiday cards, because midlife wellness is never just one thing.

Whitney and Amy break down ashwagandha — what it is, why everyone suddenly swears by it, and whether it actually does anything besides make you feel like you're “doing wellness.” From stress and sleep to focus and the placebo effect, they get honest about what’s hype, what’s helpful, and how to take it without overthinking it. Plus, a cameo from the world’s shiniest socks.
