Amanda interviewed Allison, an organizing expert, to discuss how decluttering helps women during perimenopause and menopause. Allison shared her journey from being disorganized as a teenager to becoming a professional organizer in New York City, explaining how clutter causes overwhelming anxiety and stress. She provided three key tips for women in perimenopause: creating simple systems like support stations near doors, scheduling consistent 15-30 minute decluttering sessions on specific days, and doing harder tasks during times of day when energy is highest. Allison emphasized that perfect organization isn't necessary and focused on creating systems that work for individual lifestyles. She discussed strategies for letting go of items, including using the "6-month rule" and taking 5-10 seconds to assess emotions before deciding whether to keep something. Allison offers three programs ranging from individual coaching to a self-paced online course, and she specifically mentioned working with families to ensure everyone maintains the organizing systems.

Amanda interviewed Lindsey, a speaker, life coach, personal trainer, and psychotherapist who specializes in helping women navigate health and wellness challenges, particularly during perimenopause. They discussed how physical health and mental wellness are interconnected, with Lindsey sharing her approach of focusing on movement first before addressing mindset changes. Lindsey emphasized the importance of being honest with oneself about lifestyle changes and maintaining consistent anchor habits rather than following rigid diet rules. They explored how identity shifts in midlife and perimenopause require adapting to evolving circumstances, including finding new purposes and activities through micro-adventures. Lindsey shared her perspective on weight gain during perimenopause, emphasizing that while hormonal changes make maintenance more challenging, weight gain often results from small, gradual changes in behavior rather than sudden shifts. The conversation concluded with Lindsey recommending listening to nostalgic music as a self-care practice, particularly 90s alternative music played loudly in the car, which she found particularly effective for mental wellness.

Amanda interviewed menopause coach Gaby about her journey into coaching and her REAL Method program for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause. Gaby shared how her own experience with competitive bikini fitness led to hormonal imbalances, including three years without a period and adrenal fatigue, which motivated her to create a more sustainable approach for women. She explained that her 3-month REAL Method program addresses the three key areas of nutrition, exercise, and mindset, focusing on working smarter rather than harder with exercises like deadlifts, squats, push-ups, pull-ups, and planks. Gaby provided specific tips including incorporating fiber and protein in every meal, going for gentle walks after eating, working out with compound movements, and avoiding coffee on an empty stomach. She noted that women typically lose 10-15 pounds in three months through her program, emphasizing sustainable changes over quick fixes, and shared that she's currently adding hypnotherapy and EFT therapy to her offerings to provide a more comprehensive approach.
