Menopause at work is about much more than hot flashes. For many women, perimenopause and menopause can bring changes in sleep, energy, brain fog, concentration, mood, recovery and physical comfort- right as they’re stepping into some of the most demanding years of their careers.

In this episode, Heather Yancey explores how menopause can show up in workplace performance and leadership, including her own experience managing severe challenges in perimenopause while trying to do her job.

We’ll talk about what high-performing women can do to support their health, strength and energy, and what HR leaders, employers and women’s ERGs can do to create better workplace support without lowering the performance bar.

Because women’s health and workplace performance are not separate conversations.

Topics include: menopause at work, perimenopause, women in leadership, brain fog, fatigue, sleep, strength training, recovery, workplace wellness, women’s health, HR and women’s ERGs.

Fitter does not have to mean smaller and if your pants are getting snug while you’re strength training, that might be the best sign you’re actually doing it right. Heather Yancey delivers a blunt midlife reset on what women have been taught to celebrate, and why it’s time to stop treating clothing size like a fitness scorecard.Using a client story about building muscle, getting stronger, and protecting bone health, Heather breaks down the real reason your legs or glutes may take up more space when your training is working. This is the conversation women rarely get: the difference between shrinking and becoming capable. You’ll discover:

• Why tighter pants can signal muscle gain, not failure
• How progressive overload changes body composition without relying on the scale
• Why glutes, quads, and other lower-body muscles matter for long-term independence
• How resistance training supports bone density, mobility, and longevity
• Why muscle is metabolically useful, especially in midlife

Heather also challenges the old fitness script built around “tone,” “lean out,” and “lose the last 10 pounds,” replacing it with a more powerful question: are you smaller, or are you stronger? She reframes the goal from disappearing to building the kind of body that can carry groceries, climb stairs, hike farther, travel, lift, and keep saying yes to life.If you’re tired of measuring progress by the waistband and want a smarter, stronger standard for fitness in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond, this one will hit hard. Essential listening for any woman ready to build muscle, protect her bones, and stop apologizing for taking up space.

Cellulite, bright shorts, and zero apologies. In this episode, Heather shares how turning 50, hiking the Grand Canyon, running the NYC Marathon, and chasing magical mountaintops changed the way she saw her body. We’re talking about why fit women still have cellulite, how confidence is built by doing hard things, and why it’s time to stop waiting for perfect. Inspired by Robin Arzón’s message, consider this your official invitation to join the Wear the Damn Shorts Club.

Most of us overlook the real purpose of fitness - it’s not just about looking good or hitting numbers on a scale. Heather shares how her recent weekend in a 200-mile relay race taught her that the true goal is building a resilient body capable of LIFE’s unexpected adventures. When your body is prepared, every challenge becomes an opportunity, from racing to chasing grandkids or bouncing back after a fall. In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why training is about more than aesthetics - it's about freedom to say yes to adventures

• Why neglecting strength, cardio, or recovery shifts the ‘miles’ you can handle onto others or your future self
• Practical steps to tune your body for everyday life, so you’re always ready to respond, recover, and thrive

Heather breaks down how performance is a health skill that empowers you to live fully-whether that’s hiking a waterfall, helping a loved one, or just keeping pace with life’s surprises. The difference between merely surviving and truly thriving lies in training your body to carry you through whatever comes next.Perfect for women tired of chasing perfection and ready to feel confident and capable in their everyday lives, this episode will shift your perspective from aesthetics to FUNCTION. Heather’s inspiring insights remind us: it’s not about perfect workouts; it’s about creating a body that makes every moment richer.If you’re ready to move beyond vanity metrics and build a resilient, capable body that lets you say “yes” to your next adventure - this episode is your wake-up call. Because in the end, the goal isn’t to look better...it’s to live better.

Welcome back to The Badass Reset Club, where we dive into the latest insights on health and fitness to help you live your best life. I'm your host, Heather Yancey, and today we're exploring the fascinating world of symmetry and its transformative impact on our bodies. In this episode, we'll discuss early intervention for pain prevention, share personal tales of imbalance, and delve into the effects of repetitive stress from work and sports.
