Could Stress be Making You Fat?
Stress. It’s that familiar tightness in your chest, the knot in your stomach, the racing thoughts that keep you up at night. Last week, I found myself trying to record a podcast while contractors hammered away at my house, my dog channeled his inner pitbull at the mailman, my task app screamed neglect with endless […]
This One’s Juicy! Take the quiz and see how you rank.
Last night, we had an interesting conversation with some girlfriends about guilt. It turns out, we’re all over the map when it comes to this powerful emotion. Some of us (guilty as charged) are carrying around a Catholic-sized guilt trip that would make our grandmothers proud. Our guilt game is so strong, we could win […]
What you need to know about your menstrual cycle, but never thought to ask
From puberty to perimenopause, many of us navigate our cycles with shockingly little knowledge. For something that happens to roughly half the world’s population for decades of their lives, it’s astounding how little most of us know about menstruation. We treat it like an unwelcome guest, shushing conversations and hiding tampons up our sleeves. Sure, […]
❌ ❌ Feeling Stuck?
September’s here, and with it comes that familiar back-to-school energy. We love this time of year – the excitement of new notebooks and freshly sharpened pencils. That crisp September air hints at fresh starts and the promise of new possibilities. It almost feels like September whispers, “Now’s your chance.” As we watch our children embark […]
Ninety-nine problems but perimenopause ain’t one.
Have you felt betrayed by your changing body? For me, it was when I turned 40 and suddenly gained 12 lbs overnight. Mood swings and low libido torpedoed date nights. Sleepless nights left me exhausted and anxious. Brain fog sabotaged my work. Honestly, it felt like my body had declared war on me. So, of course, […]

Are you not noticing what’s going on down here?!” We jest, but be honest: how much attention have you ever paid to your vulva, vagina, bladder, and everything else supported by your pelvic floor? We thought so. That’s why we’re directing your attention ‘south’ this week. Not only […]
We’ve got a boner to pick with you!
And it’s even bigger than you imagined. In the grand scheme of medical research and healthcare priorities, women have been coming up short for years. We’re half the population. And each year, millions of women are dealing with life-altering health issues – menopause is but just one. And yet every year, significantly more money, research […]

SH!T You Should Care About
We read something the other day that we haven’t been able to shake: A woman’s lowest life point happens between 45-55. We’re talking peak depression, highest divorce rates, and greatest decrease in earning potential. This isn’t random. This isn’t personal failure. This can’t be a coincidence. This is perimenopause! Just when we’re finally stepping into our […]
UNINTERRUPTED.
WE ARE THE STEADY CURRENT Women over 40 represent one-quarter of our workforce and drive our economy – we refuse to be dimmed or disconnected. We’re 5 million strong (with 2 million between 45-55 navigating menopause in Canada alone). We’re not just employees – we’re the backbone of critical sectors, holding institutional knowledge and mentoring […]
