Getting older is mind-fuck after mind-fuck, but as we approach perimenopause and menopause, we’re sick of being told that everything has to suck from now on. We don’t accept the idea that all of a sudden we can never build muscle or that our hormones will prevent us from enjoying our lives, and luckily for us, people like Dr. Stephanie Estima exist. Today Jill and Dr. Stephanie are chatting everything to do with perimenopause, women’s bodies as we age, the importance of stress reduction, and valuing ourselves as much as we value the people in our lives. We all deserve to feel happy, healthy, and sexy as we age—Dr. Stephanie is on a mission to lead us there.

Lately, Danny has been taking more girls’ trips in an effort to maintain some individuality outside of her relationship. We love our partners, and we love nurturing them, but when your sole sense of self is tied to your partner and their needs, your own sense of self and your needs start getting ignored, and before you know it, resentment starts growing. We were raised to be people pleasers, and while we’re so great at making others happy, it’s a lot harder to bring that same level of care to ourselves. Ultimately, the only person in charge of how you feel is *you* and if you’re starting to resent your partner, family, friends, coworkers, or really anyone in your life, it’s up to you to make a change and learn to prioritize the things you need before you worry about everyone else.

We all know social media is full of smoke & mirrors but, like clockwork, we’re seeing a new disturbing trend: influencers sharing their “mindset transformations” without being upfront about how they’re actually transforming—with the help of weight loss drugs and other procedures. Bestie, you know we’re all for doing whatever makes you feel confident, no questions asked and no judgement, but the rules are different when you’re selling a transformation you got through other means. Maybe honesty doesn’t make you as much money online, but we’re gonna keep doing it our way.
