  • The Virtuous Woman Trap (and Why You Feel So Damn Empty) with Dr. Julie Merriman

    The Virtuous Woman Trap (and Why You Feel So Damn Empty) with Dr. Julie Merriman
    Jun 18 2026
    What if your burnout isn’t about doing too much…but about believing your value comes from being needed? This week on Transforming 45, Lisa sits down with Dr. Julie Merriman—PhD, Certified Sex Counselor, trauma specialist, and creator of Soul Joy™—for a conversation that goes way deeper than “self-care.” They unpack the virtuous woman trap: the lifelong conditioning that teaches women to over-function, over-give, and override their own needs… until they don’t even feel themselves anymore. This episode is about nervous system survival, emotional numbness, identity loss—and what it actually takes to come home to yourself again. 🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday Listen on all podcast platforms + YouTube In this episode we talk about: The “good girl” conditioning that wires women for burnout Why high-achieving women feel empty (even when they’re successful) What “functional freeze” actually looks like in real life The moment Lisa realized: “I don’t feel my feet” Why you can’t think your way out of a feeling problem How disconnection impacts intimacy, desire, and relationships The truth about masculinity, safety, and emotional regulation Empty nest grief and identity loss in midlife What it means to “have a homecoming” back to yourself Key Takeaways: You are not broken. Your nervous system adapted to keep you safe. But the life you want? It requires more than survival—it requires coming back into your body.

  • What Wine Can Teach Us About Parenting, Pressure & Letting Go with Danielle Frank

    What Wine Can Teach Us About Parenting, Pressure & Letting Go with Danielle Frank
    Jun 11 2026
    What do wine and parenting have in common? More than you think. In this insightful and surprisingly funny conversation, Lisa sits down with luxury wine expert and author Danielle Frank to explore how the language of wine can help us rethink how we raise humans. From control and expectations to identity, independence, and imperfection—this episode challenges modern parenting norms and reminds us that growth isn’t about perfection… it’s about becoming. What We Explore: Why kids (like wine) need space to breathe The hidden pressure of “perfect parenting” How expectations can quietly damage relationships Why community—not control—raises healthy humans The power of letting go and trusting the process What “faults” teach us about identity and resilience Standout Moments: “The majority of your relationship with your child will be with them as an adult.” “Sometimes the best thing you can do… is step back and let it breathe.” “We teach kids how to behave—but also what to expect from others.” “It’s not failure. It’s evolution.” “Imperfection doesn’t ruin the bottle—it makes it unique.” About Danielle: Danielle Frank is a luxury wine and spirits expert with over 20 years of experience, including leadership roles at Moët Hennessy and Bacardi. She is the author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting—a witty, insightful book that blends wine terminology with real-life parenting wisdom. 🔗 Connect with Danielle: instragram @createagreatstory website: www.daniellefrankauthor.net Available on all podcast platforms + YouTube Connect with Lisa: Website: https://liberatedmenopause.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lboate Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/leaninfindyourwayhome/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/245092311417467 📩 Email: lisa@liberatedmenopause.ca Learn more about your ad choices.

    Jun 4 2026
    What if exhaustion isn't the price of success? This week on Transforming 45, Lisa sits down with Maria Angelova, creator of the Angelova Method, fitness professional, former corporate leader, and passionate advocate for helping people reconnect with their bodies. After years of pushing through stress, sleeplessness, anxiety, and burnout, Maria experienced a series of wake-up calls that forced her to question everything she thought she knew about achievement, productivity, and wellness. Together, Lisa and Maria explore: ✔ Why so many high-achieving women mistake burnout for success ✔ The hidden ways stress shows up in the body ✔ How perimenopause invites us to rethink our priorities ✔ The connection between movement, emotions, and nervous system regulation ✔ Why self-awareness is the foundation of healing ✔ Small daily practices that create profound change ✔ The role of rebellion in becoming your authentic self ✔ How to stop living on autopilot and start living intentionally Memorable Takeaways: Your body is not working against you. The symptoms, tension, exhaustion, and emotional overwhelm many women experience are often signals pointing toward what needs attention, healing, and change. Midlife isn't the end of your story. It may be the first time you're finally writing it for yourself.
