Episode Synopsis

You can have the career, the family, the picture-perfect life — and still look in the mirror wondering, “What happened to me?”You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not broken.In this episode, Nicole and Dr. Anne break down why so many women lose confidence in their bodies during perimenopause and menopause — and how to get it back using real science, not surface-level advice.You’ll learn:• How hormone shifts (especially estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) literally change the way your brain thinks, feels, and sees your body.• Why confidence isn’t a feeling — it’s chemistry.• The neuroscience behind that “stranger in your own body” feeling, and how to rewire your brain to feel strong and connected again.• How dopamine helps rebuild self-trust, and why small daily wins matter more than big goals.• How nutrition, sleep, and movement tell your brain you’re safe — unlocking calm, confidence, and motivation.• The role of hormone therapy in not just balancing the body, but supporting mood and cognition.This isn’t about finding motivation or faking positivity — it’s about understanding your brain, your hormones, and building real, lasting confidence from the inside out.Connect with us:Apply for Coaching: ⁠Click here to apply⁠Nicole on Instagram: @nic.is.fitNicole on TikTok: @nic.is.fitDr. Anne on Instagram: @drannelewisDr. Anne on TikTok: @dr.anne.lewis
