Episode Synopsis

Midlife can feel like a storm, between careers, kids, marriage, and the shifting tides of perimenopause. But what if the chaos is calling you to recalibrate instead of collapse? In this raw and relatable episode, Louise, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, takes you inside her personal season of reflection and reveals three powerful strategies that are helping her stay grounded, energized, and fulfilled.After a pivotal spring break, a reset race-day goal, and turning down major national recognition to honor her husband’s military career, she opens up about the resentment, frustration, and fierce love that shape the lives of high-achieving women. She shares how she’s building a better rhythm in three key areas—intimacy, movement, and nutrition—by defining cadences that reduce stress and increase success.This episode is a call to rethink the pressure to do it all and instead focus on what matters most. You’ll gain practical tools, a dose of solidarity, and a reminder that structure creates freedom, especially in the demanding middle years. Whether you’re a runner, a mom, a partner, or all three, this one’s for you.Download Our Free Breaking Through Wellness Monthly Planning Calendar Here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/blog/freecalendar Link to check out our multi award-winning Badass Breakthrough 1:1 Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion’s science-backed clean products: https://www.getkion.com/pages/maximizing Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(6:10) When personal sacrifice feels heavy(9:08) The mental load of midlife women(13:09) Refusing to decline in your 40s(16:30) Are you and your partner growing apart?(21:19) Learning from different life philosophies(23:07) The power of cadence in marriage(28:55) Creating a fitness cadence(33:33) Why macro tracking isn’t enough(36:51) Alcohol, food, and inflammation(42:49) Goal-setting for real-life events(46:52) Aging, dopamine, and craving(51:22) OutroTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.
