Episode Description
I’m excited to share my latest podcast appearance — an honest, vulnerable, and deeply meaningful conversation with Justine Reichman.
In this episode, Justine and I explore the full arc of my journey: from surviving a refugee camp as a child to becoming a wellness advocate, entrepreneur, and mentor for women over 40. We talk about the emotional and physical battles so many women face but rarely speak about — trauma, perimenopause, emotional eating, and the identity shifts that happen in midlife.
This interview goes far beyond nutrition or hormones. It’s about self-awareness, healing, and reclaiming the parts of yourself you may have lost along the way. My hope is that any woman listening feels less alone, more understood, and reminded that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
If this conversation resonates with even one woman who’s struggling, sharing my journey will have been worth it.
Listen to the episode and let me know what part speaks to you most.
