What We Discuss In This Episode:

In this inspiring and deeply honest episode, I sit down with Tiffany Owen—a woman with a powerful story and a heart full of wisdom. She opens up about the traumas and life changes she’s walked through, and how those experiences shaped her journey into the world of mindset, healing, and empowerment.

Tiffany dives into the addictions we often don’t talk about—the ones that affect our thoughts, mental health, emotional well-being, and how we show up in the world, especially in the transformative season of midlife and menopause.

Together, we explore:

·         Why mindset matters more than ever in midlife

·         How the “old tapes” we play in our heads keep us stuck—and how to replace them

·         The difference between affirmations and declarations (and why declarations are so powerful)

·         Simple, daily practices like writing and speaking truth that can shift everything

·         How to give yourself permission to think differently and be open to new ways of living

Tiffany encourages us to embrace the wisdom of “Be open to everything and attached to nothing,” as Wayne Dyer once said, and reminds us that we are never too old to grow, heal, and change our story.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve been feeling stuck, weighed down by negative self-talk, or ready to step into a lighter, freer version of yourself.

✨ Tune in and be inspired to start rewriting your script—one powerful thought at a time.

What We Discuss In This Episode:

Unique Challenges for Menopausal Women: Esther explains that while there are physiological changes that occur during menopause, the bigger challenge is often the mindset and beliefs that women have been conditioned to accept about this stage of life. She emphasizes that weight gain and other symptoms are not inevitable, and that lifestyle choices can make a big difference in managing these changes. The key is being willing to try different approaches and listen to your body.

Navigating Alcohol and Carbs: Esther discusses the relationship between alcohol and weight/health goals, noting that while it doesn't have to be eliminated completely, it's important to be mindful of how much and when you consume it. With carbs, she recommends prioritizing them around workouts and focusing on nutrient-dense carb sources rather than processed, high-calorie options.

Overlooked Aspects of Health:  Esther highlights the importance of prioritizing sleep and mental/emotional well-being, as these factors have a big impact on energy, mood, and overall health. She encourages listeners to take a few minutes to reflect on one small change they could make in their routine to start improving in these areas.

Connect with Andrea on her website at www.andreaclaassen.com

What We Discuss in This Episode:

In this episode, we talk about perimenopause and menopause through an Ayurvedic lens.

Andrea shares how we usually look at menopause a little bit differently in the West, whereas Ayurvedic looks at honoring our wisdom and all of the life experiences that we've had. 

Andrea explains how we “scope” backwards instead of go forwards. Ayurveda really tries to help you push past.  A lot of that inner work is done there.

There are practices that boost the Ojas - our vital energy. And so going into menopause, we really want to start working on this in the perimenopause years, to have that vital energy flowing and going.  And that might look like honoring the time to rest, especially because we get into those years of our life where we might be go, go, go, go, and then suddenly, we hit this wall and we've lost that energy and that kind of Ojas or that sparkle about us.  And so that's something that we work on building.

There are different foods you can have such as honey. We have this thing called Chyawanprash - kind of like a jam; almonds are actually great for Ojas; milk  tonics are something Andrea recommends as well, which is just heating up some milk on the stove and then putting in herbs depending on what your constitution or dosa needs are, to make it perfect for you.  Dates are also another great Ojas building food. So, all of those are just simple ways that Ayurveda looks at like transitioning from perimenopause to menopause

Lynne mentions how when her mother went through menopause, it was just something you didn't talk about.  There was so much misinformation “out there,” and the fact that it seemed “taboo” to talk about it, made it difficult to get accurate information. But, as women, we all go through that phase one way or another. And somehow, we tend to stop living in the present at this point in life while we  should really be honoring & celebrating this time. 

Andrea shares that this is where that transitioning and just honoring our life is important. She likes ceremonies, just to honor that, “Hey, is the new phase.”  Let’s celebrate and honor it.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, what are some of the areas to focus on during menopause?

1)        Sleep. Focusing on sleep hygiene.  What does that look like? Imagine this: “Yep, I can't sleep. I get on my phone out, or I get on a tablet.”   So, at 2 a.m. you might not be sleeping, so you get on a device. But that doesn’t help you to fall asleep again. Having those phone boundaries, even at night, 2 hours before bed is recommended.  Some people are really TV sensitive as well, so they'll have to get off TV a couple hours before bed. 

a)        Have a routine; whether that be meditation at night to calm down the mind, or a little bit of movement. 

b)        If you're hot, you might want that cooling breathwork practice to release some of that built up. Google some Ayurvedic cooling practices for the body.

Andrea shares that it’s never too early or late to start some practices, so that you can smoothly transition through menopause. For example, PMS. Maybe you have PMS, so we might look at some liver practices, like castor oil packs once a week.  We might look at some diet needs. So, whether it's reducing caffeine, alcohol, dandelion root tea is something that's great.  You know, having oat straw and raspberry leaf tea infusions are something that Andrea likes to give to people who are experiencing intense cramps. 

Andrea discusses some Ayurvedic practices for progesterone, as simple as going outside in nature, giving more hugs, having more laughter in your life. Then, to access estrogen, you're going to do those Castor Oil packs watch your caffeine intake or decrease your alcohol intake. Also, think about what you’re eating. How is your digestion? If you're not able to digest your food, it's going to get stuck and now the liver is working overtime. 

Other areas to look at to help digestion would be to look at the times of day we’re eating our meals. Ideally, this also involves eating at least two hours before bed so that when you hit the pillow, your food is digested. And then, again, lighter, meals at night - not having a heavier steak or meat in the evening. If you're going to eat meat, that noon hour is going to be easier for you to digest it.  Andrea recommends that the first thing to start with is to make lunch your biggest meal, and have an earlier, lighter dinner.  She says that works well for people in perimenopause and the menopausal years. That tends to be one of the biggest things where people feel better.  They have more energy.

What are the top 3 things to focus on in menopause from an Ayurvedic perspective?

1. Sleep
2. Diet
3. Lifestyle

Lynne asks Andrea, “What about from an emotional perspective, because we go through so much in those years, is there anything that Ayurveda does to balance that out?”

Andrea shares that we’re working on releasing, which could involve a journal practice, plus you can shout out & release.  Andrea likes to take a pillow, slam it down and yell. In yoga classes, she likes to give permission for people just to sigh it out. 

Andrea shares one of her biggest tips/words of wisdom

“In Ayurveda, it all starts with what can you digest. So this week pay attention to your digestion and ask yourself, how are you feeling?”

About Cari Vann:

Cari is an Entrepreneur, Exercise Physiologist & Holistic Movement Mentor with 26 + years of experience both professionally and personally. I love to move and struggled with pain at an early age which motivated me to find solutions. This led me on my journey and brought me to where I am today. I am grateful to be able to share what I’ve learned with others.

What We Discuss In This Episode:

Cari shares what got her into this type of work and why she decided to focus on pain relief and injury prevention?

Cari shared some common conditions that she’s encountered a lot? And I asked her, “At what point do individuals typically seek your assistance?”

We discussed the challenges of exercising with joint pain and the need to adapt their approach to movement, emphasizing the importance of a holistic and personalized approach to exercise, considering orthopedic limitations, and focusing on pain management and injury prevention.

Cari shared the various ways to manage fascia and maintain joint health as we age, and we explored options such as water walking, deep water running, aqua fitness classes, and using devices like a recumbent bicycle or a new step. Cari also shared her passion for the Complete Well Body Method, a program designed to help women over 40 develop pain-free movement habits and improve overall health and wellness.

Of course, we discussed the importance of regular exercise, including walking, strength work, and therapeutic exercises for spine health.

About Mark Barnes:

Mark Barnes is a longtime educator, entrepreneur, and co-author of Hacking Life After 50: 10 Ways to Beat Father Time and Live a Long, Healthy, Joy-Filled Life. He is on a quest to live past 100 and bring anyone interested along for the ride.

Physical and mental wellbeing and living until and beyond 100 have become obsession to Mark so he and his like-minded friend, Jim Sturtevant, decided to share their journeys and everything they know in Hacking Life After 50. Mark and Jim are determined to beat Father Time and have some practical strategies to make this happen.

What We Discuss In This Episode:

• Mark shares some practical ways to outrun Father Time and live a long, healthy, joy-filled life.
• He answers the question of, "What exactly is Hacking Life After 50" and why would anyone want to do it?
• Mark states clearly in his new book, written by himself and co-author, James Sturtevant, that they are not doctors or nutritionists; but educators, which he reiterates in the podcast.
• He discusses why "After-50s" should take his advice plus what Momentum Mindset is and the role it plays in living a long, healthy, joy-filled life.
• Apart from strength training, Mark shares some pretty simple strategies around movement, and we talk about how these basic movements impact longevity. 
• On the topic of strength training, Mark shares that anyone--even people in their 80s and 90s--can do it and discusses how this is possible.
• Mark shares his advise After 50s to Master Meal Planning. Isn't this just a fancy name for another fad diet?
• Nurturing the mind and soul seems abstract; how does this work?
•  In his book, Mark claims to have cured your own insomnia and shares how he did it.
• One of Mark's hacks for health and longevity is just called "Dabble." He tells us what it is and how it works.
