What would it be like to treat yourself as someone worth knowing?

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I’m joined by the brilliant Lisa Olivera — therapist, writer, author, adoptee, mother, and lifelong seeker of depth and truth. Lisa’s work centers on the lifelong process of healing, self-compassion, and rewriting the stories we’ve been handed.

We go deep — from abandonment and shame to self-worth and presence. We talk about what it means to unravel from old beliefs, navigate the fear loops so many of us feel in midlife, and how motherhood (and perimenopause) can act as an initiation into a new version of ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from who you are, overwhelmed by your emotions, or stuck in a pattern you desperately want to change, this episode is your invitation back to yourself.

We talk about:

• Rewriting the stories we never consciously chose

• Why fear is often wisdom in disguise

• Inner child work and reparenting

• The trap of “going back to who you were”

• Self-compassion as a daily, gentle practice

• Why healing doesn’t mean perfection

You will walk away from this episode feeling seen, softened, and equipped with small, doable ways to meet yourself where you are.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Shahzadi Harper, a leading voice in women’s midlife health and founder of The Harper Clinic in London. Known as “The Perimenopause Doctor,” Dr. Harper is a medical doctor and hormonal health expert who blends conventional and lifestyle medicine to help women thrive through perimenopause and beyond.

This conversation is all about weight—specifically, the frustrating, stubborn weight gain so many women experience in perimenopause and the science behind why it happens. We cover the hottest topics in midlife wellness right now: intermittent fasting, insulin resistance, and GLP-1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro. Dr. Harper breaks down what actually works, what’s hype, and how to approach weight loss in this season of life with clarity and confidence.

We dive into how shifting hormones impact metabolism, how cortisol and stress affect blood sugar and fat storage, and why so many women feel like nothing is working—even when they’re doing everything “right.” You’ll also hear Dr. Harper’s take on microdosing GLP-1s—starting low and slow rather than jumping to a full dose—and how that can lead to better results with fewer side effects.

Whether you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or just trying to make sense of the chaos happening in your body—this one is for you.

Elle Rowley built Solly Baby from her living room with a Craigslist serger and turned it into a beloved brand. But in this conversation, we go beyond the business. We talk about what happens after the baby-wearing phase ends—when your kids get older, your identity shifts, and motherhood asks you to let go even more.

Elle shares why she believes the goal isn’t just to survive motherhood—but to allow it to transform you. We talk about the tension between creativity and caregiving, the grief of changing seasons, and how to stay curious in the cocoon.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re doing enough, and what might happen if they started trusting themselves more.
