Ep. 6 - "Friendship Matters" with Paige Nolan Oct 29, 2024

This is episode (6) of our special nine-part series entitled Friendship Matters. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Paige Nolan - life coach, writer and podcast host of I’ll Meet You There. This episode explores the importance of meaningful connection as we age, as well as the sometimes painful reality of needing to take inventory of our friendships and the mutual work that’s required. We’ll also delve into what happens when things get bumpy in a friendship, how to have uncomfortable conversations, and the idea of opening yourself up to new friendships in this new season of our lives.

Here are some of the themes we discuss …

How friendship evolves as we age. Howour lives shift raising children, changing jobs, or with a move, or divorce, leaving some suddenly feeling more disconnected or lonely.
Midlife as an opportunity to become more intentional about who + how we spend our time. The power of taking inventory of our relationships, nurturing those that are more meaningful to us while allowing more space for those less fulfilling.
Friendship is like a garden: There are oak trees (deeply rooted friends), flowers (beautiful, meaningful connections with sometimes shorter seasons), and weeds (yes, weeds, those relationships that no longer serve us + need pruning).
The importance of vulnerability + time: True intimacy in friendship requires showing up, being present and vulnerable as well as daring to have "hard conversations" that cultivate even stronger bonds. Ultimately, we have to take responsibility for the relationships and experiences we want.
Lead with love: In difficult situations, remind yourself, it’s not you against them, it’s the two of you against the distance you both feel.
It’s never too late to forge new relationships or deepen existing ones. Lean into common hobbies or community groups, be curious and interested (and don’t underestimate the power of Pickleball!)

Added bonus - Paige shares her thoughts about life coaching vs therapy, her approach, what to look for, and who may benefit from this work.

Ep. 5 - "Sex is Complicated" with Kelly Casperson MD | The Midlife Truth Project Oct 17, 2024

This is episode (5) of our special nine-part series entitled Sex is Complicated. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome celebrated urologist, author, and podcast host, Dr. Kelly Casperon to unravel why sex + intimacy becomes more nuanced as we age. Kelly’s direct and approachable style provides valuable perspective and much needed advice on all things adult sex-ed. In this episode, Kelly breaks down:

Why sex + intimacy is nuanced + layered as we transition into midlife
What's happening physically + emotionally and how to navigate it both in and out of the bedroom
Advice + perspective on how to take charge of your sexual wellness including the importance of vaginal estrogen, knowing your anatomy, and how to talk more openly with your partner and/or spouse
The importance of rethinking sex + intimacy as ‘PLAY’

About Our Guest, Kelly Casperson MD.

Dr. Casperson is a board-certified practicing urologist interested in the power of the mind and science to change our views on sexuality. After years in medical practice, she had a life-changing patient who fueled not only her interest in learning everything she could about female sexual wellness but ultimately, her passion for educating women everywhere that they are not broken in the bedroom. They just didn’t get a proper education (and neither did their partners).

She created a podcast called You Are Not Broken which consistently ranks in the top 10 in the Apple “sexuality” category in multiple countries. It has been nominated for an AASECT award for three years running.

She went on to develop online courses teaching women the fundamentals of their anatomy and physiology, discussing their limiting beliefs, and normalizing their normal female sexual function, so that they are empowered to live their best love lives yet. She has a premier, private podcast/group coaching experience, which started in July 2022 to help people create desire and agency in their intimate lives.

Certified through the Life Coach School and the North American Menopause Society, she now combines her medical knowledge with mind-work to help women have more understanding and agency over their sexuality.

An engaging and humorous storyteller, she is a nationally recognized speaker, known for being approachable (like your big sister who is a doctor), making people feel comfortable with these often-uncomfortable topics, and changing lives in and out of the bedroom with her practical and useful tips.

She is opening The Casperson Clinic in October 2024

Ep 3 'You’re Not Crazy, It’s Hormones' with Dr. Sharon Malone Oct 08, 2024

In this episode of The Midlife Truth Project podcast, hosts Julie Flakstad and Dr. Taz Bhatia sit down with Dr. Sharon Malone to discuss perimenopause and menopause, including why generations of women were left to suffer in silence, the now infamous Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Study and the resulting controversy regarding the use of hormonal therapy (HRT) and breast cancer.

The conversation also highlights a stark disparity in research funding, noting that less than 11% of the $45 billion in NIH research goes to women’s studies. Dr. Malone emphasizes the need for equitable access to quality healthcare for all women.

EP 335 - Why is Changing Our Behavior So Hard? Jun 06, 2023

Losing weight is quite a challenge for most of us especially with all these different methods that claim to be the "best" and "fastest" way to do so. In this episode, Dr. Taz is joined by Jenn Trepeck to talk about why there's no "one size fits all" when it comes to losing weight and how our behavior impacts whatever progress we achieve in our weight loss journey. Jenn has been described as a "force of nature" in the wellness space, has been recognized as one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 under 40, and was nominated for the 2022 International Women’s Podcast Award for Visionary Leadership. She is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. Jenn grew up the skinny one in a family of dieters which was awesome until it went away. And so began her weight management saga. Ultimately though, Jenn learned the nutrition education we’re all supposed to know but no one ever taught us. This completely changed her life and allowed her to say she “kicked her food issues.” From then, Jenn set out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. After over a decade of working with clients, Jenn started Salad with a Side of Fries podcast. Based on science, yet lighthearted, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority.

EP 318 - Dr. Taz's Take on Cycle Syncing Feb 07, 2023

In today’s solo episode, Dr. Taz explores the practice of optimizing your monthly cycle to achieve optimal health.

Importance of understanding cycle syncing
Significant changes on your diet, skincare, and workout when cycle syncing

EP 303 - Period Poverty with Emma Branderhorst Oct 25, 2022

Emma Branderhorst is a 26-year-old director from Amsterdam. Her work mainly deals with major social themes such as period poverty, children of war, and bullying, which she turns into a personal and intimate story. The ‘slice of life’ effect is significant in her work which is how she can make the characters feel ‘alive’ and that the story doesn’t only focus on the problem. She intentionally tells stories through powerful and independent female protagonists from a feminine perspective. Her film Under the Skin premiered at Berlinale Generation and won the Wildcard Dutch Film Festival for best new film talent (2019) and Cinekid’s best youth film (2020). Her latest film Spotless (2022), won the Krystal Bear at Berlinale Generation, the Cinekid award for Best Short Film, the Grand Prix at Regard in Canada, and was recently submitted to the Oscars 2023. In this episode, Emma and Dr. Taz talk about the significant gaps in women's rights in a patriarchal society and the struggles women experience during their period. Emma also shares her filmmaking journey and what inspired her to take on major social themes and intentionally transform them into a story from a female perspective.
