The Badass Reset Club

76: The Midlife Performance Shift

Menopause at work is about much more than hot flashes. For many women, perimenopause and menopause can bring changes in sleep, energy, brain fog, concentration, mood, recovery and physical comfort- right as they’re stepping into some of the most demanding years of their careers. In this episode, Heather Yancey explores how menopause can show up in workplace performance and leadership, including her own experience managing severe challenges in perimenopause while trying to do her job. We’ll talk about what high-performing women can do to support their health, strength and energy, and what HR leaders, employers and women’s ERGs can do to create better workplace support without lowering the performance bar. Because women’s health and workplace performance are not separate conversations. Topics include: menopause at work, perimenopause, women in leadership, brain fog, fatigue, sleep, strength training, recovery, workplace wellness, women’s health, HR and women’s ERGs.

73: Tight Pants Might Be Good: Why Fitter Doesn’t Mean Smaller After 40

Fitter does not have to mean smaller and if your pants are getting snug while you’re strength training, that might be the best sign you’re actually doing it right. Heather Yancey delivers a blunt midlife reset on what women have been taught to celebrate, and why it’s time to stop treating clothing size like a fitness scorecard.Using a client story about building muscle, getting stronger, and protecting bone health, Heather breaks down the real reason your legs or glutes may take up more space when your training is working. This is the conversation women rarely get: the difference between shrinking and becoming capable. You’ll discover: Why tighter pants can signal muscle gain, not failure How progressive overload changes body composition without relying on the scale Why glutes, quads, and other lower-body muscles matter for long-term independence How resistance training supports bone density, mobility, and longevity Why muscle is metabolically useful, especially in midlife Heather also challenges the old fitness script built around “tone,” “lean out,” and “lose the last 10 pounds,” replacing it with a more powerful question: are you smaller, or are you stronger? She reframes the goal from disappearing to building the kind of body that can carry groceries, climb stairs, hike farther, travel, lift, and keep saying yes to life.If you’re tired of measuring progress by the waistband and want a smarter, stronger standard for fitness in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond, this one will hit hard. Essential listening for any woman ready to build muscle, protect her bones, and stop apologizing for taking up space.

69: The Nervous System Truth Midlife Women Need with Dr. Alexandra Howson

Rest is not a luxury - it’s medicine, especially in midlife. In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, I’m joined by Dr. Alexandra Howson to unpack why women in perimenopause and menopause feel exhausted, wired, and burned out and why pushing harder is no longer the answer. Dr. Howson is the host and producer of the Write Medicine podcast, author of WriteCME Roadmap, and a Yoga for Menopause & Women’s Health specialist. She blends science and storytelling to help midlife women regulate their nervous systems, slow down, and restore energy through intentional rest. After navigating her husband’s stroke during Covid, panic attacks, and cumulative life stress, Alexandra learned firsthand that rest isn’t optional, it’s essential. In this conversation, we explore what’s actually happening in the nervous system and hormones when rest is ignored, why midlife is a biological turning point for burnout, and how micro-rest practices and mindset shifts can help women reset and thrive without stepping away from their lives. If you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through midlife and ready for a smarter, more sustainable reset, this episode is for you.

68: The One Thing You Must Do Before You Set Goals for 2026

As the year comes to a close, many women feel a quiet frustration: I know what to do… so why doesn’t it feel like it’s working yet? In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, Heather invites you to slow down before rushing into the next plan or goal. Instead of focusing on what didn’t change, this conversation walks you through a meaningful year-end reflection- physically, mentally, and spiritually. You’ll explore why body composition, energy, and muscle changes often take longer in midlife than we expect, how mental resilience and stress responses shape consistency, and why reconnecting with purpose and meaning is a missing piece of sustainable health. This is not about fixing yourself for the new year. It’s about recognizing the progress you’ve already made, naming the wins you may have overlooked, and carrying clarity, not pressure into 2026. Grab a notebook, take a breath, and reflect alongside this episode as you reset with intention.

67: Stress vs. Trauma in Midlife with Dr. Aimie Apigian

So many midlife women describe themselves as stressed, but what if what we’re calling “stress” is actually something deeper happening inside the body? In this powerful conversation, Heather sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, physician, speaker, and author of The Biology of Trauma, to unpack the difference between everyday stress and stored trauma that shows up as overwhelm, exhaustion, irritability, or feeling “stuck.” Together, they explore why midlife is often the moment unresolved patterns surface, how the nervous system drives our physical and emotional responses, and why pushing harder, at work, at home, or even in the gym, can actually reinforce a survival state. Dr. Aimie shares how to know the difference of recognizing tools for healing rather than triggers for dysregulation, and she offers the first steps to reset your system, build true resilience, and reconnect with the energy and clarity you’ve been missing. If you’ve been living in go-mode for so long it feels normal, this episode will help you understand your body, reclaim your power, and finally begin your reset.

65: Beyond the Scale: What Fit for TV Got Wrong About Weight Loss

After watching Netflix’s new documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, Heather dives into one of the biggest misconceptions in health and fitness - that the number on the scale defines your success. In this eye-opening episode of The Badass Reset Club, Heather breaks down what the show got wrong about transformation and what real health looks like in midlife.

You’ll learn: Why muscle is more important than the number on the scale How building strength protects metabolism, bones, and longevity Why energy, sleep, and stress management matter more than calories The dangers of extreme weight loss revealed in Fit for TV How to redefine transformation in perimenopause and beyond If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your weight won’t budge or wondered why you’re doing all the “right” things but don’t feel stronger...this episode will completely shift how you measure progress. It’s time to stop letting the scale tell your story. It’s time to hit the RESET.

In this empowering conversation with Lori Ann Roland (LPC, LCADC), we explore: Midlife as a psychological reckoning: why many women in their 40s–50s begin to question long-held roles and identity Untangling worth from roles: practical steps for distinguishing self‑value from being caregiver, partner, or professional Breaking through feeling “stuck”: what keeps women in midlife limbo—and how to take the first step forward Building self‑compassion: why it matters as much as building muscle, and where to begin Trauma & emotional suppression: how early experiences manifest as chronic stress or physical symptoms Boundary‑setting scripts: clear, compassionate language for communicating needs with partners, family, and colleagues Lori draws on her clinical, fitness, and trauma work, including EMDR, to offer actionable frameworks, relatable strategies, and real‑world examples.

58: The Strong Reset: Rethinking Success, Strength, and Self-Care After 40

What if everything you were taught about being "strong" was rooted in burnout, body shame, and outdated expectations? In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, we're flipping the script on strength, success, and self-care — especially for women in midlife. It’s time for a reset. One where muscle matters more than the scale, where boundaries are the new hustle, and where real power comes from saying no just as often as yes. We’ll talk about why burnout isn’t your fault, how body image struggles shift in your 40s and 50s, and why midlife is actually your strength sweet spot. Whether you're rebuilding, reinventing, or just ready to redefine what strong means on your own terms — this episode is your permission slip. Speaking of strong women...The Menopause Strength Society has your back!
