What happens when your body starts changing—and it wakes you up to the life you’ve been living?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shannon Klingman, OB-GYN and founder of Lume Deodorant, for a conversation that starts with perimenopause, body odor, and the “why do I smell like onions?” question so many women are quietly asking… and unfolds into something far deeper.

We talk about how women’s bodies change in midlife, why those changes can impact our confidence, and how feeling good in your body is often the first step to chasing the life you actually want. But we also go beyond the science.

Dr. Klingman shares her experience of profound grief after the loss of a child, the sacrifices required to build a dream, and what it really means to believe in yourself when the path forward is uncertain. We explore the truth that every life direction comes with trade-offs—and that choosing yourself doesn’t mean it’s easy, but it can be worth it.

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels disconnected from her body or confidence in midlife

• Is navigating perimenopause and wondering what the hell is happening

• Is grieving something she never expected to lose

• Knows there’s more for her—but isn’t sure she’s brave enough yet

This isn’t just a conversation about deodorant.
It’s about self-trust, confidence, grief, and the courage to go after your dreams anyway.

In this heart-to-heart episode of Wake Her Up, we sit down with Caycie — the hilarious and deeply honest creator behind @black_belt_in_mom on TikTok. As two midlife women navigating perimenopause, we connected instantly with her raw stories of caretaking for her mom in a nursing home, juggling life’s chaos, and still finding moments to laugh through it all.

Caycie opens up about her “crash outs” — those moments when everything feels like too much — and how humor, honesty, and her life motto, “have some grace,” keep her grounded. This is real talk, girlfriend to girlfriend — the kind of conversation that reminds you that you’re not alone, even when life feels heavy.

Tune in for a dose of laughter, hope, and solidarity. Because yes — there are still friends to be found, your body can feel good again, and crashing out will not kill you.

✨ Listen now for connection, compassion, and a few good laughs along the way.

What if creating a magical life isn’t about adding more — but about tuning into what’s already here?

In this week’s episode of Wake Her Up, I sit down with Elizabeth Webb, author of Made for Magic, to explore how each of us can step into the extraordinary by embracing the simple.

We dive into:

• The surprising power of nothingness and why stillness creates space for transformation.

• How awareness shifts everything — from daily choices to big life decisions.

• The role of intuition in building a life that feels aligned, expansive, and magical.

Elizabeth’s wisdom is both grounding and inspiring, reminding us that magic isn’t out there — it’s in us, waiting to be remembered.
