  • The Work of Loving Our Hormones | Beating Epigenetics and Going Beyond Estrogen with Robin Nielsen

    The Work of Loving Our Hormones | Beating Epigenetics and Going Beyond Estrogen with Robin Nielsen
    Dec 31 2025
    Too often women are taught to manage symptoms without being invited to understand them. This week’s guest, Robin Nielsen, helps us articulate what fatigue, mood shifts, and low libido mean when we stop treating hormones as something to “fix” and instead see them as partners in our well-being. Grounded in the reality of life after 35 — from perimenopause fatigue to holistic hormone balance — this dialogue invites you to reframe your relationship with your body, your hormones, and your energy. This isn’t about productivity: it’s about presence.

  • Resilience Over Perfection | Rebuilding Confidence, Identity, and Joy Through Pain with Alayne Wadsworth

    Resilience Over Perfection | Rebuilding Confidence, Identity, and Joy Through Pain with Alayne Wadsworth
    Dec 17 2025
    What does it mean to stay connected to yourself when your body forces you to slow down?

    In this deeply moving episode of The Complete Woman, host Tori Poulter sits down with Alayne Wadsworth—professional dancer, creative director, and lifelong warrior--to explore how acceptance, self-trust, and consistency can rebuild confidence after adversity. Diagnosed with severe scoliosis in adolescence and having undergone multiple spinal surgeries, Alayne shares how she learned to adapt her rhythms, regulate her expectations, and reconnect with joy—even while living with chronic pain. Rather than striving for perfection, she reveals how surrender, patience, and self-compassion became her most powerful tools.
