Perimenopause is a period of increased risk of heart disease, but also potentially the healing of our metaphorical heart.

Dena schools us on perimenopause, estrogen loss, and heart disease. Her agenda is for all women to get screened with a health care provider they trust. The ladies share a few of their approaches to manage seemingly out-of-the-blue blood cholesterol problems.

Theresa shares a memory of her ugly cynical side which led her to steal someone else’s Valentine’s Day joy.

How can we Pro-Age, or proactively age? While we embrace modern anti-aging measures, we also want to embrace the gifts of aging and show up the best we can every day with confidence. To support everyone in this quest we’ve invited a special sister guest, Sarah Bechard of Purposely Fashioned. She shares her professional and womanly wisdom as a personal stylist. Hear Dena cursing, sister banter, and, most importantly, Sarah’s wardrobe myths and top tips.

At a time when it’s easy to be over focused on how we are stretching out of our sweatpants

that once were baggy, we push ourselves out of comfort zones and into meaningful soul

projects, back bends, and handstands. Dena gives her professional overview and comments

on the new 2026 Dietary Guidelines including fiber, protein, fats, ultra-processed foods, and

alcohol which leads us to glance at the art of behavior change. Dena inquires about the

current popularity of pilates; Theresa shares her experience and perspectives on movement,

and how she crafts her guidance of clients using pilates and other modalities. We finish with

challenges for our listeners that range from eating veggies, using words as nourishment (or

not!), swearing superpowers (or not!), and rules versus trust and honoring our bodies when it

comes to eating.

Pro Tip: Go into the day knowing what you’ll eat!
