This isn't a laziness problem. According to licensed therapist Melody Murray, it's a nervous system problem—and there's a very specific reason so many women feel stuck, scattered, and perpetually behind right now.

Melody Murray is an LMFT, child mental health specialist, former reality TV producer, and author of Mourning the Living. She's been on The Today Show, The Doctors, and featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, and more. She has also nearly died twice in four weeks, which, as you'll hear, changed everything about how she thinks about self-dismissal.

In this episode:

• Why chaos feels oddly familiar (and what that actually means)
• How your coping mechanisms are still running on a five-year-old's operating system
• The social media check nobody talks about
• Why protecting your peace is now an act of rebellion
• Practical ways to regulate your nervous system today, not eventually

Plus: the closet you don't actually care about, the pervy uncle who started it all, and why self-care has nothing to do with a manicure.

We get into red flags to watch for when choosing an agent, the real difference between term and permanent life insurance, why your workplace coverage probably isn't the deal you think it is, and what to do if you're in your 40s or 50s and haven't tackled this yet.

Don't want to take notes? We did it for you. Grab the cheat sheet that covers all three episodes.

What if getting healthy wasn't about doing more but about finally putting some things down?

In this episode, Courtney Townley, health and self-leadership coach, author of The Consistency Code, and host of the Grace & Grit podcast, drops some midlife truth bombs we absolutely need to hear. We cut through the noise of wellness culture, talk about what consistency actually means at this stage of our lives (hint: it's not doing the same thing over and over until you die). And we dive into why outsourcing to the "experts" might be the thing holding you back.

If you're looking for an episode to guilt or shame you around diet and exercise, you've come to the wrong place.

In This Episode

1. Why the first thing women need from their health is relief, not results
2. How to stop outsourcing your life choices
3. What changes when you finally do it for yourself
4. Pre-deciding: why planning doesn't require charts, graphs, or a color-coded notebook
5. Grace vs. excuses: two questions that help you tell the difference

Have you ever stood in a flooding garage, phone in hand, searching Facebook for a plumber on a holiday weekend? Or packed up your home during a fire evacuation and realized you had no idea what mattered or where anything was?

That was me. Twice.

In this episode, I’m sharing the two moments that cracked me wide open — and why I believe every woman, whether she owns, rents, or is currently on a very nice pullout couch, needs to actually know how her home works.

In This Episode:

1. The Friday my house rained inside (and what a firefighter taught me)
2. What happened when my neighborhood went under evacuation warning during the LA fires
3. The poll I ran in my Facebook community, and the 73% statistic that changed everything
4. Five things every woman should know about her home right now
5. Why The House Manual exists and who it’s really for

After nearly 30 years of dyeing her hair, Katie Emery made the decision at 50 to go gray cold turkey, and discovered it was about so much more than hair color. In this episode, the creator of Katie Goes Platinum shares her raw and honest journey, from the depression that sparked her decision to the surprising joy she found on the other side.

We talk:

1. Why going gray became a catalyst for bigger life changes
2. The emotional rollercoaster of transition (and why it's worth it)
3. Savage comebacks for the haters ("Wow" is just the beginning)
4. Products that actually work vs. total BS
5. Different methods to go gray (cold turkey isn't your only option)
6. Why 85-95% of women who go gray never go back
7. The powerful mindset shift: "You're no longer chasing who you used to be, but enjoying who you are now"

Whether you're gray-curious, mid-transition, or just here for the life wisdom, this one's for you.

What if I told you that brands are actively looking to pay Gen X and Boomer women to create content—and you don't need a single follower to get started?

Yeah, I know. It sounds too good to be true. But it's not.

In this episode, you'll meet Megan Collier, who's been teaching women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond how to create user-generated content (UGC) and get paid for it.

FYI we're not talking about becoming an influencer or posting to your own social media where your judgmental sister can see it. We're talking about creating content for brands to use in their marketing—content that can pay anywhere from a few hundred bucks per video to $10,000+ per month for those who go all in.

Megan breaks down exactly what UGC is, how it's different from influencing, why brands specifically want to work with our age group (finally!), and how you can get started even if you've never been on camera before. She shares real stories from her students—including her own mom—who are making real money doing this.

Come as you are. Show the heck up. And let's talk about making some money in 2026.

Is it ADHD or anxiety? If you've ever asked yourself this question, you're not alone. In this final episode of our 3-part ADHD series, host Jackie MacDougall sits down with ADHD coach Kristen Carder to unpack what ADHD actually looks like when it overlaps with anxiety, shame, overstimulation, and the constant pressure to keep it all together.

This conversation goes deep into:

✨ How to tell the difference between ADHD and anxiety (and why so many women are misdiagnosed)

✨ The "too much and not enough" paradox that defines untreated ADHD

✨ Why shame keeps us stuck—and how to break free from it

✨ Phone addiction, social media, and self-medicating behaviors

✨ Practical coping strategies that actually work (hello, productive procrastination!)

✨ How to work WITH your ADHD brain instead of against it

✨ Setting boundaries around your capacity and energy

✨ Why there's no "perfect system" that will fix everything

Key Takeaway: Whether you have ADHD or not, you are not broken. You don't need fixing—you need understanding, compassion, and support to work with your unique brain.

This episode is not medical advice. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment.

In part two of our three-part ADHD series, Jackie is joined again by ADHD coach and I Have ADHD podcast host Kristen Carder to talk about something a lot of grown-ass women are quietly wondering about: treatment.

In the first episode, we unpacked how ADHD actually shows up in women—and why it’s so often missed or confused with things like perimenopause, burnout, or major life transitions. In this episode, we go deeper into what helps once you start asking, Okay… now what?

We talk about ADHD medication—who it might help, who might not need it, and what it really looks like in real life—along with non-medication options like exercise, therapy, and coaching. We also break down the differences between therapy and coaching, why trauma-informed care matters, and what questions to ask so you can find support that actually fits your brain and your life.

This conversation is not medical advice, and it’s not here to diagnose you or anyone you love. It is here to help you understand your options so you can make more informed, empowered decisions.

If you’ve ever wondered whether ADHD treatment could make life feel less overwhelming—or you’re trying to support a child, partner, or friend—this episode will help you see the landscape more clearly.

Up next: In the final episode of this series, we talk about ADHD, anxiety, and depression—because the symptoms can overlap in confusing ways. How do you know what’s really going on?

If you can solve a crisis before lunch but forget where you put your keys, this episode is for you. ADHD coach and host of I Have ADHD, Kristen Carder, joins Jackie to explore how ADHD really shows up in grown-ass women. From distractibility and impulsivity to working memory and emotional regulation, we break down symptoms that often get mistaken for menopause, anxiety, burnout, or just everyday overwhelm.

In part one of a three part series, Kristen shares her own story of discovering ADHD in adulthood, why so many women go undiagnosed, and the difference between being occasionally forgetful and having symptoms that impact every area of life.

Home may be where the heart is, but it’s also where things break, leak, and short-circuit when you least expect it.

Beth Kindig from the TikTok/Instagram duo Boomer Beth & Gen X, is a retired, tool-wielding, label-maker-loving badass who knows her home inside and out and wants us all to know ours, too.

And because I never want you learning this stuff in the middle of a crisis (ask me about the time my garage was raining), we’re turning Beth’s wisdom into simple, doable steps you can add straight into your own home checklist. Get it here!

In this episode, we talk about:

• How Beth accidentally became “Boomer Beth” on TikTok and Instagram
• The powerful influence of her mom, Josie, and what she taught Beth about being capable and independent

• The “home manual” Beth created for her wife — and what goes inside it

If you loved this conversation, share it with a friend who’s ready to take control of her home one label maker at a time.

What you’ll learn

• Breast & cervical screening basics: When to start, how often, and when you can stop (mammogram, Pap + HPV).
• Colon cancer screening: Why guidelines moved from 50 to 45, and what “earlier” looks like with risk factors.
• Annual exam ≠ Pap only: Why pelvic exams, symptom checks, and imaging still matter—even if your Pap is spaced out.
• Heart health numbers that matter: BP, lipids, A1C, waist-to-hip ratio (and why CVD is the #1 killer of women).
• Thyroid & vitamin D: How low thyroid and low D can mimic menopause symptoms (fatigue, hair loss, temperature issues).
• Ferritin/iron: Why checking iron stores can explain hair loss and exhaustion.
• CMP/CBC: What these panels reveal about liver, kidney, anemia, and overall health.
• Lipoprotein(a): The one-time, genetics-based test that can change how tightly your BP and cholesterol are managed.
• Bone health reality check: Why waiting until 65 for a DEXA scan isn’t cutting it—and options if insurance says no.
• Personalized care: Why population guidelines are a starting point—not the finish line—especially for Black women and others with different risk profiles.

Yes, it's everywhere, and when you factor in gender and race, it can become even more of an issue. But sometimes in regards to ageism, the call is coming from inside the house. That internalized ageism is what we're tackling today; all the ways we count ourselves out as we get older.

But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. There are ways to avoid, or at least quiet, those loud, but false, voices in our heads. In this episode, you'll learn some pretty simple, but hugely effective steps we can all take to combat the ageism that comes from within.

Jane’s writing comes from her own personal experience as a wife, mom, sister, daughter and friend. Her stories, while fiction, are inspired by her own life — sometimes to the displeasure of others (you’ll have to hear that story). And Jane shares the major twist her own career took when she decided to put pen to paper for her first of five novels. Seriously, like wow. 

In this episode, we talk about the themes in her latest book and how we as grown-ass women can learn and grow by having the courage to open ourselves up to new ideas. PS: If writing a book has been on your bucket list, listen until the end. Jane gives some great no-nonsense advice on how to get started.

About: Dani Klein Modisett is a comedian/author/entrepreneur and author of the book, “Take My Spouse, How to Keep Your Marriage Happy, Healthy, and Thriving by Following the Rules of Comedy (Shambhala Press, 2015). Part memoir, part instruction the book draws from the course she taught in Stand-up at UCLA for ten years. Her first book “Afterbirth...stories you won’t read in Parents magazine,” (St. Martin’s Press, 2009) was based on a sold out show she created. In 2018, after her mother became depressed facing an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, she had the idea to hire a comedian to cheer her up. It worked. She wrote an article about it for AARP. After receiving 100’s of requests for comedians she launched Laughter On Call (LOC). LOC started sending comedians around the country when senior communities asked for training for staff. Dani then created a curriculum for self-care and creating connection at all stages of cognition for caregivers. When COVID hit, LOC services went virtual servicing the broader business community struggling with depression and anxiety. To date, LOC has worked with over 500 companies including Meta, Capital One, Bristol Myers and more. Dani has been a speaker & facilitator at Stanford Business School, Harvard Business School, Fuqua at Duke, Columbia, UCLA Andersen and Dartmouth College. She has also coached keynote speakers, business leaders, and Congressional candidates to use more humor in their communication. Her writing has appeared in AARP, NY Times, LA Times, Parents Magazine and many websites. She is a frequent speaker at conferences including Milken Global Conference, CALA, ICAA, and others.

I met Lauren back in 2015 when I was working on a daytime syndicated TV show called FABLife. Lauren stood out to me at the time as someone who was very much, what you see is what you get, something I definitely admire, especially in that industry. 

And, that hasn’t changed in the past six-plus years. In this episode, Lauren shares her journey to sobriety, what life looked like when she was drinking, the excruciatingly painful moment when she knew something needed to change, and what she’s learned about herself in the one year since putting down that Jack Daniel’s bottle.

Jenny Ketchepaw and Jennifer Abbott-Aston met through a mutual friend who thought they’d hit it off – and they certainly did. They formed a friendship that’s supportive, empowering, and often vulnerable. Like many of us, they could have kept that friendship to themselves, but Jenny and Jen knew they had something special and wanted to empower other women to also experience a deep connection.

Here’s their story from friendship to community leadership, and how they’re bringing women together in their own neighborhood — and all around the world.

In that episode, Nikki talked about her podcast, Dying for Sex, a show she hosted with her best friend Molly, after Molly was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. When struck with that life-altering news, Molly decided to leave her unhappy marriage and embark on a series of sexual adventures to feel alive. 12 million listens and a Podcast of the Year award later, that podcast is something people are still talking about to this day. 

During the recording of Dying for Sex, Nikki met a hospital chaplain named Peggy. The two form a friendship and now host Near Death, a podcast that makes it easier — and dare I say entertaining — to talk about death in a way that not only decreases fear, but inspires conversations that we all should be having. 

About:  Nikki Boyer is a three time Emmy® award-winning TV host, producer, actress and podcaster. She created, hosted, and is Executive Producer of the breakout Wondery podcast, Dying for Sex, which won the 2021 Ambie Award for Podcast of the Year --- and was named one of Apple’s favorite podcasts of 2020. 

In the midst of the global pandemic, Nikki hosted nearly 200 episodes of Wondery’s The Daily Smile, a podcast about good news, and launched Call Me Curious via Wondery+, a lighthearted investigative series delves into offbeat topics. Nikki co-hosts the popular weekly podcast, Straight Talk with Ross Mathews, which recently recorded its 450th episode. 

Nikki co-hosted the 2021 Ambies Awards show and was a regular guest contributor to The Wendy Williams Show for over 8 seasons. She has appeared on virtually every major television talk show, most recently as a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show, supporting the launch of Call Me Curious. Along with Kevin Sabbe, she co-created and was Co-Executive Producer of Step Girlfriends, a television concept based on her real life, optioned by CBS Studios. Nikki made her mark hosting Yahoo!’s ultra-popular Daytime in No Time, where she was the most watched host on the internet during the series five-year run.

I speak with Dr Martha Pavlakis, the medical director of kidney and pancreas transplantation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

This episode is part of a series during March which National Kidney Month, a topic that’s very personal to me. My middle son is 17 years old and in the process of being added to the kidney transplant list, something that surprised us, and yet has been a long time coming. Since the moment we were told this was necessary, I’ve spent hours reading and researching, and have learned so much about not only what he’ll have to go through, but what being a kidney donor looks like, and what it may entail. And I have to tell you, it’s eye opening.

Approximately 100,000 people are on the kidney transplant list, 13 die each day waiting for an organ. Knowledge is power and when we’re educated, it not only helps decrease the amount of medical disinformation that’s out there in the world, but we can best support the donors and recipients in our lives, relatives, friends, co-workers and community members in a more impactful way. And there’s nothing more grown-ass than that.

Guest: Kari Kirkland is a living kidney donor who's lived a life of adventure --  artist, performer, wedding / event planner, private chef, flying trapeze artist and coach, Ironman triathlete... She's lived in 4 countries on 3 continents, and has traveled the world. Now she's climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to bring awareness to living donation, reaching the summit on World Kidney Day on March 9, 2023. "This climb presents the opportunity to realize that even as a living organ donor, we can still accomplish incredible physical and mental feats! I look forward to watching the sunrise on the top of Kili, surrounded by living donors and advocates, and being a strong example of what is possible after living organ donation."

You don’t have to be divorced or even considering it to appreciate that there are men out there trying to silence women from sharing their personal experiences and using those experiences to help others — and make a living. But we are grown-ass women who will not be silenced. In fact, it’s the reason I chose to invite Jessica here today — to give her a platform for sharing her story, and to support her in sharing her voice, which in turn could support you in using your own.

February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness of cardiovascular health. If we can make Heart Month half as popular as Breast Cancer Awareness month, I think we might just save some lives.

In 2012, she was awarded the National Red Dress Award for her efforts in raising awareness of heart disease in women and advancing research in this field. In 2019, she was chosen as the most influential woman in Arizona and received the 2019 American College of Cardiology’s Bernadine Healy Award for her leadership and accomplishment in the field of cardiovascular disease in women. 

She is the principal investigator of the St. James Women Take Heart Project, a study examining cardiac risk factors in women, which set standards for women’s fitness levels and heart rate response to exercise in women. She also is a co-investigator on the Women Ischemic Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) and previously served as a co-investigator on the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI). She has published articles in peer-reviewed publications, including The New England Journal of Medicine, Circulation, and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

I was craving growth, expansion, confidence, connection. I wanted to show up like the grown-ass woman I knew I could be. 

• A grown-ass woman takes responsibility for herself and her actions
• She handles her own stuff
• Sure she may be kind and caring and nurturing and all that, but it’s not at her own expense. 

The Grown-Ass Woman’s Guide is a collection of candid conversations focused on three areas — health, wealth and work. You’ll hear from women doing grown-ass things. Living grown-ass lives. And occasionally, you’ll get an episode with just me, sharing some of my own personal grown-ass lessons. 

Being a grown-ass woman is a practice. It’s work in progress. It’s a movement. And it’s so much more rewarding when we share it together. Because when one woman lives her most grown-ass life, it creates a ripple effect and we all benefit. 

Hit favorite or follow on your favorite podcast app and let’s make 2023 our most grown-ass year yet -- together!

I met Lauren back in 2015 when I was working on a daytime syndicated TV show called FABLife. Lauren stood out to me at the time as someone who was very much, what you see is what you get, something I definitely admire, especially in that industry. 

And, that hasn’t changed in the past six-plus years. In this episode, Lauren shares her journey to sobriety, what life looked like when she was drinking, the excruciatingly painful moment when she knew something needed to change, and what she’s learned about herself in the one year since putting down that Jack Daniel’s bottle.

“Holiday stress is not something you get, it’s something you create.” I wrote this little gem on Facebook eight years ago. Unlike other things I sometimes read from years ago, this time I actually agree with my younger self — wholeheartedly.

I believe that, along with the incredible challenges we have faced over the last year and a half, we have also been provided with some clarity; clarity in what matters and what we should prioritize. After years and years of holiday stress rinse and repeat, we had an opportunity to streamline and to simplify. I know, for me, I’m not ready to go back to the way things were. How about you?

You’ll hear from women who’ve found fun and interesting ways to incorporate movement into their daily lives, and finding some unexpected benefits along the way. Maybe you’ll even find your future favorite activity through their stories.

If you're ready to incorporate some action steps into your life to become the most grown-ass version of yourself, this is the episode for you.

The first female F-14 Tomcat fighter pilot in the US Navy, Lohrenz shares her years of training to help business leaders overcome the specific natures of uncertainty, stress, burnout, anxiety, and pressure.

She is uniquely qualified in the fundamentals of winning under pressure, reducing errors, and overcoming fear, self-doubt and other challenges to lead high-performance teams.

Spoiler alert: I decline every time.

When do I say yes? When someone wants to collaborate in helping us all in feel strong, aligned, and unstoppable; not convince us we’re less than until we follow their methods.

I say yes to someone like Courtney Townley. Courtney is one of those people I would say yes to without knowing the question. Sure, she has 20 years experience and that’s fantastic. But what I love is that she’s unlike anyone out there. She is committed to teaching, supporting and holding us accountable for our actions so we can be the most badass, grown-ass version of ourselves.

If you could use a bit of inspiration to realign your actions with what you say it is you want for your health at the start of 2022...

If you are ready to become more self-directed in the health arena...

If you are ready for a mindset reset, so you can rock whatever it is you want for your health in 2022...

Courtney’s hosting a FREE 5-Day Challenge. But before she does that, she joined me LIVE in our free community for a conversation that will blow your mind — and change your mindset.

Are you ready to live your Healthiest Year Yet? I know I am!

What if I told you that even though you might know what you want in your life, your style choices could actually be preventing it from happening?  In this episode, style coach Erin Mathis shares simple and inexpensive ways  to level up your look to attract what you want. The best part? You can start today!

Guest:

Erin Mathis, cofounder of The Style Core, is a Style Coach for women in midlife who feel stuck in a rut and want to empower themselves to take charge of their future. She helps women up-level their personal style so they show the world who they really are and align their image with the impact they want to make. She applies the same process she used to transform her own image to help her clients reinvent themselves so they can confidently show up as the captivating women they are and tell the world who they are through their look.

Some people might dismiss style transformation as “just a makeover,” but as a style coach, Erin understands how image has the power to transform your entire life. She shares more about this in her Tedx Talk "The Power of Image to Transform Your Life.”

From her home town in Northern California, Erin coaches women around the world online through her transformational style coaching program, Your Million Dollar Look.

The answer may surprise you. But what’s even more important is WHY we feel like we’re not enough and what we can do about it. In this episode, you’ll hear from therapist Melody Murray who provides some key insight Plus,  learn five simple ways to feel more enough that’s worked for me and so many other grown-ass women.

1. Identify the area or areas in which you feel like you're not enough.  If there are multiple, write them all down, but then we're going to pick one at a time to go through the process. 
2. Define what enough looks like in that area. What does it even mean?  What does it look like to be enough as a mom, in your job or a friendship? It really helps to define what it is that you think is enough so you can actually compare where you are and where you think you should be. 
3. Imagine someone you love, it could be your best friend, a sister, neighbor, maybe even a daughter.  Would you hold her to the same impossible standards you expect of yourself?  Would you judge her so harshly?  Or would you cut her some slack? What makes you so unique that you are expected to achieve some bogus level and be this person that you would never expect someone else to be?  
4. Who is determining your enoughness or not enoughness? When we put our own value in the comments of other people, how can we  not feel  like we're not enough, especially when that person hasn't even gone through their own healing journey?  Spoiler alert: the person you should be listening to is you.
   5. Imagine for a moment that you are enough right now.  Just be quiet with yourself  and say, I am a human being doing the very best I can.  And that's enough. I  am enough.  How would your life look if you stopped and you reminded yourself every day just for five seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, five minutes?

But if you have to explain something more than a couple of times, you might need to tweak your messaging. 

I learned not only the age of the woman listening, but who that woman really is.  

• She’s someone who wants more out of life.
• She’s a lifelong learner.
• She dares to dream.
• She knows this is the time to leap but is a little afraid of the idea… and even if she wanted to, HOW would she do it?
• She wants to take care of her shit. Like really wants to. But the self doubt creeps in… and she needs some support here.
• She cares less about what other people think and is starting to really tune into what her gut says.

She's a GROWN-ASS WOMAN. 

And likely, she is YOU. 

Sure, the calendar says you’re over 40. And that, to me, says something. It says we’ve lived a lot of life. We’ve got so much experience. But it’s not just women over 40 that get me fired up, who turn to me for coaching and collaboration — it’s GROWN-ASS women over 40. 

They're my spirit animals, for real. The past few years getting to help women find that spark inside of them and recommit to their own lives has been an honor. The fact that I get to do it for a living? 🤯

So in just a few days, I’ll introduce the next level of Forty Thrive — one that’s 100% committed to more than just inspiring you to thrive, but supporting you in ACTIVATING what’s brewing inside of you, holding you accountable for taking charge of your own life, and standing right next to you as you blow the LID OFF the next chapter of your life. 

Are you ready to join me?

Same. 

Now imagine the results you could see if you were to do Face Yoga. Yes, face yoga. It’s a thing.

The team at Face Yoga Method reached out to me a while back and introduced me to this phenomenon. Led by founder Fumiko Takatsu, Face Yoga Method is an all natural practice that consists of non invasive facial exercises that tone facial muscles, improve complexion and smooth wrinkles. It’s a holistic approach focusing on mind/body/spirit and boasts side effects like amazing posture and more self confidence. Yes, please!

I will admit. I was skeptical.

But take a listen to my interview with Fumiko and it’s like DUH! Of course this works!

Today’s episode kind of blew my mind and I think it might really be able to help you as well.

I had a lot of things going on, but it just felt like a lot of struggle with not much gain. And so I invited Feng Shui expert Patricia Lohan into my office. To say that her simple tips changed everything for me is not an exaggeration. 

With her guidance and expertise, I’ve made some small changes throughout my home to create more harmony and balance and prosperity and abundance. Today, Patricia shares how you can get that as well.
