In this special interview episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. I sat down with my longtime friend, client, and confidant, Rose Yodzio, an integrative nutrition and health mindset coach, certified menopause specialist, and fierce advocate for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

This episode kicks off with honest admissions about denial, shame, and the challenges so many women face when confronting midlife changes. Together, Rose and I unpack why common symptoms like anxiety, mood shifts, and weight gain are often misunderstood or dismissed, and why seeking support and the right kind of support is absolutely vital.

From debunking outdated advice to sharing the science behind hormone health, GLP-1, and effective weight training, this conversation is packed with real talk, practical insights, and hope. Whether you’re in your 30s starting to wonder about perimenopause, or further along the journey yourself, this episode proves you’re not alone and that you’re never too late to advocate for your wellbeing.

Key Takeaways:

• If what used to work for your energy, mood, or weight doesn’t anymore, remember you’re not alone, and you’re not "just imagining it." Support and change are possible 
• Many traditional healthcare providers aren't fully trained in women's health for perimenopause and menopause. Seek out practitioners who listen to you and consider alternative support if needed 
• Beyond nutrition and medical interventions, addressing mindset and learning to regulate stress are foundational for hormonal health and well being

Episode Quote

• "I really wanted women to know that the symptoms they are having or they were having at this time of their lives were common, but they're not inevitable; in fact, they are not normal. And it just made me so angry, that I would hear women say, "Well, it's just the way it is at this age." - Rose Yodzio
