Every Monday at noon, a group of women over 40 gathers for one honest conversation. No scripts, no agenda, no pretending. Just real women in real transitions, talking about what it actually feels like to be in this season of life.

Empty nest. Career change. Health shift. Or simply asking, "who am I now?"

Every episode is built on three pillars:

Community: a room full of women who get it because they're living it too. No performing, no pretending. Just real connection with women at a similar crossroads.

Wellness : because you've spent years taking care of everyone else and it's time to take care of you. Physical and emotional health practices designed for this season of life.

Purpose : find your voice, be seen, build what's next. When you put your story into words, clarity shows up and you start to see yourself as someone whose voice truly matters.

Hosted by Sheila Slick, MS, alongside Luciana Pitta, PhD, Janet Uribe, ND, MBA, and Cynthia Rodriguez, PhD, each episode is a live recording from The Weekly Conversation, a free weekly gathering where every woman is seen, heard, and reminded that her story matters.

  • Strength, Hormones and Writing Your Story After 40

    Strength, Hormones and Writing Your Story After 40
    Sep 21 2026

    What does strength really look like when your body is changing, your house is emptying, and the life you built doesn't feel like it fits anymore?

    In this episode of The Weekly Conversation, the room gets real. Dr. Janet breaks down what's actually happening with your hormones during perimenopause and menopause, and why so many women are being dismissed by their doctors instead of helped. What she shares about estrogen receptors alone will change how you think about everything from brain fog to sleep.

    Then the conversation takes a turn to legacy. Two of the authors in the room, Heather and Rolanda, open up about the messy, emotional, sometimes infuriating process of publishing a book born from personal pain. One is writing about forgiveness after losing her husband to suicide. The other? Her book journey accidentally landed her at New York Fashion Week.

  • Strength Training for Women After 40

    Strength Training for Women After 40
    Sep 9 2026

    What if the reason you're tired, gaining weight, and losing balance has nothing to do with aging — and everything to do with one thing you're probably not doing?

    Janet Uribe, ND, wellness coach and competitive runner, joins our weekly conversation to break down why strength training after 40 isn't optional — it's the single most important investment in your future self. But here's where it gets interesting: the connection between your muscles and your blood sugar may surprise you, and the truth about the vitamin industry? Most women are spending money on supplements they don't actually need.

    Janet also reveals the one myth that keeps women out of the weight room — and why it's completely wrong. Plus, a candid conversation about at-home blood work, what 116 biomarkers can actually tell you, and the real question to ask before you pop another supplement.

    Listen in to learn more about strength training for women over 40, supplement myths and vitamin testing, and how to take control of your health data.
