Things I want my Daughters to Know

What European Women Know About Aging That We Don't with Tally Eliyahni

In this fascinating and deeply reflective episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Tally Elhyani for a conversation about midlife, motherhood, identity, and the radically different way many European women approach aging and menopause. Drawing on her multi-cultural life experiences and living in Italy for over 20 years, Tally shares how European women often view midlife not as a decline — but as a reinvention. Together, we explore the cultural differences that shape women's experiences of aging, beauty, motherhood, work, and purpose, and why so many women in modern society are feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and unsupported. We also unpack the importance of community, feminine leadership, and rediscovering yourself after years of caregiving and putting everyone else first. This episode is a refreshing and empowering cultural reframe of midlife not as an ending, but as the beginning of a wiser, more intentional chapter. 🎙️ If this episode re sonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tallyre/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tallyre/] https://www.facebook.com/talbassali/ [https://www.facebook.com/talbassali/] ✨ Connect with Jacqueline Rose 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram] Follow Me: 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/] ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth [https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth] 🌐 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/] 🏷️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 [https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120] 🔔 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/ [https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/]

What's Actually Happening to Women's Brains in Midlife with Dr. Alex Grunsfeld

In this fascinating and myth-busting episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by neurologist Dr. Alex Grunsfeld for a powerful conversation about brain health, metabolism, stress, and what's really happening to women during perimenopause and menopause. Together, we challenge the increasingly narrow conversation around menopause and cognition, particularly the idea that estrogen alone determines brain health. Instead, we explore the much bigger picture: metabolic health, inflammation, insulin resistance, chronic stress, movement, nutrition, and the way modern lifestyles are fundamentally impacting women's brains and bodies. Dr. Grunsfeld explains how chronic inflammation and high cortisol levels contribute to brain fog, anxiety, cognitive decline, and fatigue, while also unpacking the role of ketones, metabolic flexibility, and the ketogenic diet in supporting neurological health. We also dive into the powerful influence of the nocebo effect and how fear-based menopause narratives may actually shape women's experiences more than we realise. This episode is a profound, myth busting reminder that women's brains are not "breaking" in midlife but rather they need a different kind of support.

Your Symptoms are Telling You Something, Are you Listening? with Kristin Sitek

In this deeply thought-provoking episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Kristin Sitek for a conversation that challenges the way we think about women's health, menopause, healing, and the body itself. Kristin combines functional health with energetic healing, exploring how unresolved emotions, stress, trauma, and disconnection from self can manifest physically — particularly through the gut, hormones, nervous system, and chronic symptoms so many women experience in midlife. Together, we unpack why so many women are searching for quick fixes while ignoring the deeper messages their bodies may be trying to communicate. We explore menopause as more than a hormonal event — but as a profound invitation into self-awareness, boundaries, healing, and transformation. This episode is expansive, holistic, and deeply empowering. It asks women to stop seeing their bodies as broken — and start listening to what their symptoms may actually be revealing. 🎙️ If this episode re sonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.instagram.com/kristin.sitek/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinsitek/ https://www.facebook.com/kristin.sitek https://www.kristinsitek.com/gut-health [https://www.kristinsitek.com/gut-health] ✨ Connect with Jacqueline Rose 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram] Follow Me: 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/] ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth [https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth] 🌐 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/] 🏷️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 [https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120] 🔔 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/ [https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/]

Why Midlife Women Are Being Failed by Healthcare with Shannon McDonald

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Shannon McDonald for a conversation about the growing crisis in midlife women's health — and why so many women are being left unsupported, dismissed, and misunderstood by mainstream healthcare systems. We explore the reality that most midlife women are navigating complex hormonal, metabolic, emotional, and lifestyle changes with little meaningful guidance beyond quick fixes, rushed appointments, and symptom management. Shannon shares her holistic framework for supporting women through midlife, focusing on nourishment instead of restriction, building strength instead of shrinking, and creating sustainable health practices that support long-term wellbeing. We also dive into the rapidly growing use of GLP-1 medications, the dangers of under-eating and muscle loss, and why women need a far more informed and balanced conversation around weight, aging, and health. This episode is a reminder that midlife women deserve healthcare that sees the whole person, not just the symptoms. 🎙️ If this episode re sonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561961137561 https://www.instagram.com/navigating_to_wellness/ Book a Call: https://forms.gle/PNnFzWBUtTKec4pE6 ✨ Connect with Jacqueline Rose 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram] Follow Me: 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ [https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/] ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth [https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth] 🌐 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/] 🏷️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 [https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120] 🔔 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/ [https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/]

The Truth About Sex Women Were Never Told with Angela Griffith

In this bold, honest, and deeply important episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Angela — known online as The Christian Sexpert — for a conversation about female sexuality, intimacy, marriage, and the realities of sex during perimenopause and menopause. Together, we challenge many of the narratives women have inherited around sex — from purity culture and religious shame to the impact of pornography and the unrealistic expectations it has created for both men and women. We explore why so many women feel disconnected from their sexuality, why painful sex and low libido are so common in midlife, and why intimacy needs to be understood as so much more than penetrative sex. This episode is not just about sex — it's about reclaiming ownership of the female body, redefining intimacy, and creating healthier, more honest conversations for the next generation Disclaimer: This episode deals with adult topics.
