Why is it so hard for women to be taken seriously in healthcare — especially during menopause and hormonal transitions?

In this episode of Seriously WTF, Corry and Nar break down the reality women face when seeking medical support for hormonal changes, menopause symptoms, and overall health after 40. We talk about why provider rapport matters, how women are often dismissed or under-treated, and why being told “you’re fine” doesn’t feel fine at all.

This conversation also challenges the way menopause is framed in Western medicine, contrasting it with cultural perspectives that view this phase as a time of renewal, wisdom, and power — not decline. We discuss why personalized care is essential, how women can advocate for themselves, and when it’s time to seek out specialists who actually understand midlife health.

This is an honest, no-BS conversation about women’s health, empowerment, and navigating a system that too often fails midlife women.

In this episode of Seriously WTF, Corry and Nar have a candid, funny, and relatable conversation about motherhood, morning routines, self-care, and the realities of aging in your 40s.

From a playful gift exchange to honest conversations about body image, fitness goals, and hormonal changes, this episode highlights how personal routines and self-care practices evolve as life gets fuller — and more chaotic. The hosts share how parenting, health challenges, and shifting priorities shape the way women approach wellness, style, and confidence in midlife.

This episode is a reminder that there’s no perfect routine, no universal standard for self-care, and no single way to “do” motherhood or aging. It’s about embracing authenticity, adapting to change, and finding humor in the everyday mess.

If you’ve ever felt like everyone else has it more together — this episode will make you feel right at home.

In this episode of Seriously WTF, the hosts dive into the complex dynamics of modern wellness, particularly focusing on the societal pressures women face regarding their bodies and health.

Corry & Nar discuss how wellness has shifted from being about health to a means of control, often dictated by big corporations and social media. The conversation touches on the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by Hollywood and the impact of weight loss drugs like GLP-1s, which are becoming increasingly popular but can lead to unhealthy body images if not used responsibly. The hosts emphasize the importance of self-care and the need for women to reclaim their narratives around health and beauty, rather than succumbing to societal expectations.

In this episode of Seriously WTF, Corry opens up about her real-life love story — from unexpected chemistry to a 26-year marriage — and how relationships evolve through parenting, midlife, and major life transitions.

The conversation moves beyond romance into the realities of marriage, raising children, and navigating changing family dynamics as kids grow and independence shifts the relationship between partners. Corry and Nar also dive into the often-overlooked emotional and physical changes women experience in midlife, including menopause, identity shifts, and the pressure to “have it all together.”

They unpack how social media distorts midlife, creating unrealistic expectations about marriage, motherhood, aging, and happiness — and why real life looks far messier (and more meaningful) than the highlight reel. Through honest stories and relatable chaos, this episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from showing up, communicating, and embracing the season you’re in.

This is a candid conversation about love, marriage, parenting, menopause, personal growth, and midlife reality — the parts women live every day but rarely see reflected honestly.

In this episode of Seriously WTF, Corry and Nar answer real listener questions about what actually happens to women’s bodies after 40 — and why so many changes feel confusing, frustrating, or completely unexpected.

From painful sex and declining estrogen to Ozempic Face, GLP-1 weight loss, creatine supplementation, and the role of nutrition, this conversation breaks down what’s normal, what’s fixable, and what women deserve better information about. They also dive into HRT, menopause, and aesthetic treatments like Botox, explaining how these tools fit into aging with intention — not shame.

This episode is about informed choice, not judgment. Whether you’re navigating sexual health changes, considering GLP-1s or HRT, worried about muscle loss, or curious about aesthetics, this is an honest, science-backed conversation about aging, self-care, and taking control of your health after 40.

Season 2 kicks off with a bold, honest conversation about why New Year’s resolutions don’t work — especially for women over 40 — and what to do instead.

Corry and Nar break down the difference between resolutions and real goals, why motivation alone isn’t enough, and how increased responsibilities, hormonal shifts, and life demands change the way women need to approach health, weight loss, and personal growth after 40.

If you’ve ever started January fired up and ended February exhausted, discouraged, or feeling like you failed — this episode is your reset. No fluff. No toxic motivation. Just real talk about setting goals that stick, honoring your season of life, and building momentum without burning yourself out.

The holidays can feel like a magical mess — full of traditions, family dynamics, emotional eating, stress, and the pressure to “just enjoy it.” In this episode, Corry and Nar unpack the Seriously WTF moments of the season: the chaos of decorating timelines, the family expectations, the sugar overload, the emotional weight of holiday meals, and how GLP-1s affect appetite and eating during celebrations.

If the holidays make you feel overwhelmed, guilty, joyful, conflicted, or all of the above, you’re not alone. This episode is all about finding balance, setting boundaries, enjoying the season without losing yourself, and letting go of the shame around how you eat, feel, or cope in December.

Infertility isn’t just a medical diagnosis — it’s a full-body, full-heart experience that hits women with a tidal wave of anxiety, hope, frustration, and endless questions.
