A proposito di questo titolo

Midlife is being redefined at a moment when women are questioning outdated narratives around aging, productivity, and worth. As healthcare gaps widen and cultural messaging pushes anti-aging at all costs, many women are left wondering whether what they’re experiencing is a breakdown or a breakthrough. In this episode, Kara Duffy sits down with Dr. Heidi Lescanec, Naturopathic Doctor and creator of the Pink Zones, to explore why menopause is not a crisis, but a recalibration - biologically, emotionally, and culturally. Heidi shares insights from her 20+ years in women’s hormone health and her global research into communities where women thrive as they age with vitality and reverence. Together, they unpack the nervous system’s role in longevity, the rewiring of the female brain during perimenopause, the research gaps in women’s healthcare, and why middle-aged women are emerging as a powerful cultural and political force. This conversation examines what it means to move beyond symptom management, reclaim creative vitality, and redesign systems that honor women at every stage of life, not just their youth. The Powerful Ladies podcast, hosted by business coach and strategist Kara Duffy features candid conversations with entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes, chefs, writers, scientists, and more. Every Wednesday, new episodes explore what it means to lead with purpose, create with intention, and define success on your own terms. Whether you're growing a business, changing careers, or asking bigger questions, these stories remind you: you're not alone, and you're more powerful than you think.
