Megan Dimmer isn’t here for your outdated expectations about midlife. In fact, she just turned 49 and feels stronger, sharper, and more in control than ever.

In this episode, Megan shares the real story of what it took to feel this good: cutting the BS with her doctors, finding a workout she didn’t hate, and finally putting herself first after years of prioritizing career and parenting. We talk hormones, aging, therapy, and the lies we’ve been sold about what 50 is supposed to feel like.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How eating healthy can make you feel good, not just look good
• Why it’s important to talk about menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
• What it means to be defined by more than your career
