    Naomi Watts: What I Wish I Knew In My 30s

    You’ve seen her on screen for decades, but what you might not know is that Naomi Watts was told by Hollywood she’d be “done” by 40 and at 36, while her career was taking off, she was already in perimenopause.

    Bobbi Brown: How to Start Over When It Feels Impossible

    Reinvention, identity loss, and personal growth aren’t just themes in Bobbi Brown’s story, they define it. Bobbi Brown, the legendary makeup artist and entrepreneur, described the moment everything she had built was suddenly gone. In an unexpected twist of midlife reinvention, she faced the loss of her identity, proving that even icons must confront the need for personal reinvention and bold career pivots. For years, her name was everywhere, but behind the success, she was grieving the loss of who she thought she was and wondering how to reclaim her authentic self without it. Instead of staying stuck, Bobbi chose career reinvention. She found the courage to begin again, to take all the lessons from one life chapter and build something new on her own terms. Today, with Jones Road Beauty, she embodies women empowerment and shows us that reinventing yourself after 40 can be the most powerful act of all. In this episode, you’ll learn: - What it feels like to lose a piece of your identity and how to find your authentic self again - The courage it takes to start over when you feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under you - How rejection became Bobbi’s turning point for life reinvention - The mindset shifts that helped her rebuild with Jones Road Beauty - Why confidence is the foundation for navigating career pivots and moving forward stronger If you’ve ever felt knocked down, questioned your worth, or wondered how to begin again, Bobbi’s story will show you that reinventing yourself isn’t just possible, it can be the most powerful chapter of your life.

    The Menopause Heart Doctor Reveals the 3 Warning Signs Doctors Dismiss

    Heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet most of us still think of it as a “man’s disease.” Symptoms like fatigue, jaw pain, nausea, or palpitations are too often brushed off as stress, anxiety, or just “normal aging.” The result? Women wait longer to get care, and their first heart attack is more likely to be fatal. Dr. Jayne Morgan, leading cardiologist and researcher, joins Tamsen to explain the real connection between menopause and cardiovascular risk, and why it’s time for women to take their symptoms seriously. In this episode, you’ll learn: - The silent signs of heart disease that women often miss or dismiss - Why menopause and perimenopause dramatically increase heart risk - How hot flashes, palpitations, and even itchy ears can be red flags - What 37 minutes of delay in care means for women’s survival - The lifestyle shifts and medical conversations that actually protect your heart If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s hormones, stress, or something more, this conversation will help you connect the dots, advocate for yourself, and protect your health before it’s too late.
