3. Rebuilding Your Life After Loss: Identity, Resilience & Starting Over with Ramona Milano

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 9 avril 2026 • Durée 59:00

You don’t become unstoppable by avoiding pain.

You become unstoppable by learning how to move through it—and still choose yourself on the other side.

In this episode, Shawna sits down with Ramona Milano, an actress turned coach and yoga teacher, for a deeply honest conversation about identity, loss, and what it really takes to rebuild your life after everything changes.

What started as a chance meeting in a yoga studio turned into a powerful mentorship and transformation—one rooted in resilience, self-trust, and learning how to navigate life when the path you thought you were on disappears.

Ramona shares her journey from decades in the entertainment industry to stepping into a completely new identity after a life-altering personal loss. She opens up about the emotional reality of rebuilding, the courage it takes to say yes to new opportunities, and the discipline of learning to trust yourself again.

This episode weaves together mindset, nervous system regulation, personal growth, and the deeper work of healing—without bypassing the hard parts.

This is a conversation about grief, reinvention, and one core truth: you don’t avoid the hard moments—you become stronger because of how you move through them.

How to rebuild your identity after a major life transition or loss

Why feeling your emotions fully is necessary for true healing (not avoidance)

The difference between staying stuck in pain vs. moving forward with purpose

How to trust yourself again after your life has been disrupted

Why saying yes to opportunities—especially the ones that scare you—creates growth

How yoga, movement, and breathwork support emotional resilience and nervous system regulation

How to shift your mindset around aging, limitations, and what’s still possible

Ramona Milano is an actress with decades of experience in film, television, and voice work, known for roles in Degrassi, Hallmark productions, and more.

She is now a yoga teacher, coach, and mentor focused on helping women navigate identity shifts, personal transformation, and life transitions with strength and self-trust.

2. Embracing Limitlessness with Anne Matthews

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

jeudi 9 avril 2026 • Durée 37:38

You don’t become unstoppable by waiting for the perfect time. You become unstoppable by deciding your current reality doesn’t define your limits.

In this episode, Shawna sits down with Anne Matthews—fertility-focused acupuncturist, mother of six, podcast host, and professional Hyrox athlete—for a powerful conversation on what it actually looks like to pursue high performance while balancing real life.

Anne shares how she went from feeling stuck in a rut to competing in elite fitness events around the world, all while running a busy fertility practice and raising a large family. Her story challenges the idea that you have to choose between personal ambition, motherhood, and career—and instead shows what’s possible when you expand your capacity.

This conversation weaves together mindset, women’s health, fertility, and performance, with a strong focus on breaking outdated narratives around aging and what women are capable of physically and mentally.

From setting “scary” goals to redefining identity, Anne offers a grounded but expansive perspective on how to create momentum in your life—no matter your starting point.

This episode is about resilience, self-leadership, and one core truth: your limits are often self-imposed—and they’re meant to be challenged.

How to balance motherhood, career, and high-level athletic performance without sacrificing your goals

Why setting ambitious, uncomfortable goals can create purpose and momentum

How to break free from age-related limitations and redefine what’s possible

The connection between mindset, identity, and long-term success

Insights into fertility, women’s health, and challenging fear-based narratives around age

How to stay consistent with training and performance—even without a coach

1. The shift I didn’t expect in midlife

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

jeudi 9 avril 2026 • Durée 46:53

The most powerful transformations don’t come from fixing your life. They come from raising the standard for how you want to live, move, and show up.

In this inaugural episode, Shawna - naturopathic doctor with over 20 years of experience in women’s health, hormones, and metabolic health - shares her journey of redefining what’s possible as she stepped into a new level of personal and physical performance.

This conversation goes beyond health. It’s about identity, longevity, and recognizing when external success no longer feels aligned internally.

Shawna opens up about the moment she realized something was missing, despite building a successful career, and how that led her to pursue more intentional goals. From shifting her approach to fitness and training, to setting ambitious milestones like qualifying for the Boston Marathon, she shares how purposeful movement can transform not only your body - but how you see yourself.

You’ll also hear her perspective on healthy aging, why exercise is one of the most powerful tools for long-term vitality, and how surrounding yourself with high-performing, like-minded individuals can expand your belief in what’s possible.

This episode is grounded in growth, performance, and one core truth: you get to redefine what your next level looks like.

Why external success doesn’t always equal fulfillment - and how to recognize when it’s time for a shift

The difference between exercising and training with intention, and how it impacts identity and performance

How setting meaningful goals can improve motivation, confidence, and long-term health

Why movement is one of the most effective tools for longevity, metabolic health, and healthy aging

How to challenge outdated narratives around aging, fitness, and what’s possible

The role of community and environment in expanding your mindset and results

4. Why Strength Doesn't Peak at 30 with Sarah Katz

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 40:39

What if your strongest, most capable years weren’t behind you… but ahead of you?

In this episode of Unstoppable at Any Age, Shawna sits down with Sarah Katz - a lawyer, masters athlete, and competitive pentathlete - who is training and competing across five track and field events at 47 years old.

This conversation challenges the idea that midlife is a time to slow down.

Instead, Sarah shares what it actually takes to stay strong, energized, and competitive - while balancing a full career and navigating the realities of perimenopause.

You’ll hear how she structures her days, supports her body, and continues to push her limits in a sustainable way.

In this episode, we discuss:

What the pentathlon involves (and why Sarah chose it)
How she balances training with a demanding legal career
Her journey from gymnastics → track → middle distance running
Why strength training becomes essential after 30
The real impact of perimenopause on performance, recovery, and energy
How HRT supported her sleep, focus, and mental clarity
The role of intentional scheduling and meal prep
Why it’s never too late to start something new

Key takeaway:

Your body does change in midlife - but that doesn’t mean you have lost your potential. It means your strategy needs to evolve.

Listen if you’re:

Feeling like your body isn’t responding the way it used to
Navigating perimenopause and unsure what’s “normal”
Wanting to build strength, energy, and confidence in midlife
Thinking about starting (or returning to) fitness or sport later in life

19. The science that changed how I think about aging

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 29:31

If I could convince every woman to do one thing for the next 30 years, it would be to keep moving.

In this solo episode, I'm sharing the real reason I've shifted so much of my focus - and my career - toward women's movement. Not hormones. Not supplements. Movement.

After 22+ years as a naturopathic doctor and thousands of appointments with women, I've come to believe that exercise is the single biggest longevity lever we have - bigger than nutrition, bigger than anything in a bottle. And with both my mother and stepmother living with Alzheimer's and dementia, this has become deeply personal, not just clinical.

I also share my own story: how I became a masters track athlete after menopause, what it was like competing at the USATF Masters Outdoor Championships in Geneva, Ohio, and why watching women in their 60s, 70s, and 80s compete completely changed my outlook on aging.

Then we get into the research - three studies that reshaped how I think about brain health, strength, and what's actually possible as we age:

A 44-year Swedish study connecting midlife cardiovascular fitness to an 88% lower risk of dementia
A twin study showing leg strength predicts brain structure and cognitive decline, independent of genetics
30+ years of research using female masters athletes as a model for healthy cardiovascular aging

In this episode, we discuss:

Why I've shifted my career focus toward women's movement, not just hormones
My mission to get one million women moving - and what Women Who Move is
My own journey into masters track running after menopause
Competing at USATF Masters Outdoor Championships and coming home with two silver medals
The difference between healthspan and lifespan
The 2018 Swedish study linking cardiovascular fitness to dementia risk
Why VO2 max matters more than most people realize
The 2016 twin study connecting leg strength to brain structure and cognitive decline
Why muscle functions as an endocrine organ (and what muscle has to do with your brain)

18. Your body is not a problem to solve with Carmen McDonald.

Saison 1 · Épisode 18

jeudi 23 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:07:58

For so many women, health has become synonymous with weight loss.

We spend years trying to make our bodies smaller, leaner, or more acceptable, believing that confidence will come once we finally reach the "right" number on the scale.

But what if we've been asking the wrong question all along?

In this episode of Unstoppable at Any Age, I sit down with health coach, behavior strategist, and fitness professional Carmen McDonald to explore what happened when she stopped chasing the perfect body and started building a healthier relationship with herself.

After years of competing at a national level in fitness competitions, Carmen found herself physically depleted, emotionally exhausted, and deep into perimenopause without realizing it. Today, she's found a completely different path through sprinting, strength, cardiovascular health, and learning to trust her body again.

This conversation isn't just about menopause.

It's about redefining what health really looks like.

• Why your body is not a problem to be solved

• The hidden emotional impact of chasing weight loss

• How sprinting helped Carmen reconnect with her body

• The surprising benefits of training for performance instead of appearance

• Why consistency always beats perfection

• The importance of muscle, movement, and metabolic health during menopause

• Why cardiovascular disease should be on every woman's radar

• The role of self-awareness in creating lasting health habits

• Letting go of who you were at 20 and embracing who you're becoming

• Why community can completely change your health journey

9. What every woman needs to know about metabolic health

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

jeudi 21 mai 2026 • Durée 35:02

Menopause is not just a hormone transition. It’s a metabolic transition too.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down one of the most important - and most overlooked - conversations in women’s health: metabolic health.

This is something I’ve focused on in my practice for over 20 years, but honestly, I didn’t fully understand how profound these changes were until I experienced menopause myself.

What I see over and over again is women blaming themselves because their old strategies suddenly stop working.

Energy crashes. Brain fog. Poor sleep. Weight gain around the abdomen. More inflammation. Worse recovery from exercise.

And many women assume it’s “just hormones.”

Hormones are part of the story.

Metabolic health is the other piece.

In this episode, I explain how blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass, sleep, stress, and movement all interact during perimenopause and menopause - and why understanding this changes everything.

In this episode, we explore:

• What metabolic health actually means • Why blood sugar affects energy, mood, sleep, and cravings • The connection between estrogen and insulin resistance • Why women often gain abdominal weight in menopause • The role of muscle in metabolic health and longevity • How strength training protects your brain, bones, and metabolism • Why walking after meals makes such a difference • What I learned from wearing a continuous glucose monitor myself • Why extreme dieting and cutting carbs usually backfires • The habits that actually improve metabolic health long-term

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode:

8. MS, movement, and rebuilding a life you love with Dr. Teri Jaklin, ND

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

jeudi 14 mai 2026 • Durée 41:17

“You’re never too old. You’ve never had your condition too long. And you’re never too advanced to make positive change.”

This conversation stayed with me long after we stopped recording.

In this episode, I sit down with naturopathic doctor Teri Jaklin to talk about what it means to keep choosing life - even after being handed a diagnosis that could have easily defined her future.

Teri was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in her twenties.

One neurologist told her to go home and get her affairs in order. Another told her to “run along and have a good life.”

She chose to believe the second one.

More than 40 years later, she’s still rebuilding, adapting, moving, gardening, working, creating, and finding ways to fully participate in her life.

This conversation is about much more than MS.

It’s about mindset. Neuroplasticity. Movement. Identity. And the role our beliefs play in shaping what happens next.

In this episode, we explore:

• How mindset influences healing and resilience• Why movement is one of the most powerful tools for the brain• The connection between neuroplasticity and intentional movement• How to adapt your body and environment instead of giving up• Why nutrition and cooking real food matter more than most people realize• The importance of building a healthcare team that believes in you• What it means to live beyond a diagnosis

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation:

Your diagnosis is information.

It does not have to become your identity or your future.

7. Your running shoes weren’t made for your body with Lindsay Housman

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 7 mai 2026 • Durée 51:06

Your running shoes weren’t designed for your body.

And most women have no idea.

In this episode, I sit down with Lindsay Housman, founder of a female-specific performance footwear company Hettas, to talk about something that comes up constantly - foot pain.

Heel pain.Achilles issues.Forefoot pain.Plantar fasciitis.Losing toenails.

So many women assume this is just part of being active.

It isn’t.

What’s often missed is this:

Most athletic shoes have been designed, tested, and built based on male anatomy.

Even the ones marketed to women.

This conversation explains why that matters - and how it directly impacts injury, comfort, and long-term performance.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why women experience more foot pain during perimenopause and beyond• How hormonal changes affect ligaments, tendons, and foot structure• The difference between male and female biomechanics (and why it matters)• Why most “women’s shoes” are just smaller versions of men’s• Common issues like plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, and Achilles pain• What actually makes a shoe supportive for a female body• How footwear impacts your ability to stay active long-term

One of the biggest takeaways:

A lot of what you’ve been told is “normal” isn’t actually normal.

It’s a mismatch between your body and what you’re putting on your feet.
