What if midlife isn’t the beginning of the end… but the beginning of your wise woman era?

In this episode, Esther sits down with Jenn Pike, Medical Exercise Specialist and Functionally Integrative Diagnostic Nutritionist, for a conversation that hits hard (in the best way). Jenn reframes the word “crone” as the empowered, intuitive, no-permission-needed version of you… and explains why perimenopause and menopause can be a portal to deeper self-trust, stronger boundaries, and real metabolic health.

They dig into why women are so often dismissed in conventional medicine, how we learn to gaslight ourselves, and why “all or nothing” thinking keeps us trapped in shame cycles. Jenn also breaks down what actually works for body recomposition in midlife… and why the boring basics (walking, strength training, sleep, nourishment, and boundaries) beat expensive trends every time.

If you’ve felt exhausted, puffy, dismissed, or like you “should be past this by now”… this episode is your permission slip to come back home to yourself.
