On this episode, Melanie sits down with Kylie Ingram, CEO of Wizer Business, to explore Wizer Snaps, a smart communication tool that helps users tailor their messages based on decision profiles. They discuss how women often use the tool to prepare for meetings and craft messages with care, while men are increasingly using it for sales and business development. The conversation highlights the importance of effective communication, especially for women in midlife who may face ADHD and communication anxiety. Kylie shares three practical steps to improve communication: understand the recipient's decision profile, lead with what they want to hear first, and be bold about your goals rather than chasing harmony. They also explore how the tool reframes difficult conversations around decision-making frameworks rather than emotional responses. The episode addresses the way women's communication is judged differently, and the double bind of being too soft or too tough - emphasising how Wizer offers a smart, supportive way to plan and shape conversations for better leadership and collaboration.

Midlife is a crossroads where caring for others can come at our own expense. This reflective episode dives into the burnout that can follow and challenges the old labels of selfish and selfless. Is there a healthier middle ground? Join us as we explore what women really need - to find a new language and to start considering the concepts of the middle ground - self-care, self-love, and self-compassion. If you’re ready to reframe care as a sustainable act of kindness toward yourself, this is the podcast for you.

Melanie and Pharmacist Therese Loo explore personalised health care for women in midlife. In this episode, they discuss how DNA testing and blood panels combined with science-based health coaching can deliver individualized strategies that fit each person’s unique biology and life circumstances. They examine how genetic predispositions interact with lifestyle factors to influence health outcomes, emphasizing that genetics offer insights but environmental and dietary changes can profoundly impact longevity and well-being. The conversation highlights how we are all unique, it's time to move past the one-size-fits-most approach, and to take a holistic and personalised approach to help each woman optimise health during menopausal transitions. By addressing inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and other midlife challenges through personalised nutrition and targeted support services, we can turn information into insights and practical, everyday health decisions.
