Hot Flashes and Healing: Body Image Healing and Confidence for Women 50+

Tired of fighting food, your body, and your reflection—especially after 50? Welcome to Hot Flashes and Healing,  a podcast for midlife women who are done fighting their hunger and their bodies and ready for a calmer approach that actually fits real life. I’m Maureen, a wife, mom, and grandma who spent decades battling hunger, chasing smaller jeans, and trying to shrink myself into worthiness. When nothing worked, I finally learned what my body had been asking for all along: trust, compassion, and a friend. Here, we rewrite old food rules and the beliefs that made us feel broken. Each episode brings honest conversations and practical tools to help you quiet food noise, reconnect with hunger, and feel safe in your body again. No more chasing perfection. No more starting over on Monday. No more treating your hunger like the enemy. Just truth, relief, and freedom—without fixing, punishing, or battling your body. This podcast offers a simpler way to eat so you think about food less and trust your body more.
