**The Right-Sized Life with Amy Schmidt**

You’ve proven you’re brave. You cannonballed into one chapter of your life and showed up fully — for your family, your career, your community, everyone who needed you. You did that. And it mattered.

Now you’re asking a different question.

Not *how do I do more?* But *does this still fit?*

Welcome to The Right-Sized Life with Amy Schmidt — the podcast for women who are done maintaining the old life and ready to build the true one.

Every episode, Amy brings the honest conversation you’ve been waiting for — the one that sounds less like a self-help seminar and more like a glass of wine with your wisest friend. Real stories. Practical frameworks. Permission to let go of what no longer fits and make room for what actually does.

Because a right-sized life isn’t about having less.

It’s about having what fits — so when the moments that matter arrive, you are actually there for them.

Amy Schmidt is the founder of Fearlessly Facing Fifty, bestselling author of *CANNONBALL! Fearlessly Facing Midlife and Beyond* and the forthcoming *The Right-Sized Life*, TEDx speaker, and one of the most trusted voices in midlife women’s media.

*Go forth and live aligned.* 🤍

EP 118: Hot Flash Inc with AnnMarie McQueen Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

Join a 'perimenoposse' of savvy, hopeful women around the world who subscribe to my global digital magazine, where each week I cover the latest research, public policy, tech, business, podcasts, products, movers and shakers and more.

How’s your energy level? Sleep? Brain fog? Heard of frozen shoulder, burning tongue or formication? Those are just some of the dozens of symptoms of perimenopause – aka the other puberty, second childhood etc – and it’s never too early to find out all about it.

Ann Marie McQueen is a journalist going through this fascinating and frustrating rollercoaster too – and she's obsessed.

She'll never stop reminding you that it’s time to normalize menopause – and we are entering one of the most powerful phases of our lives.

EP 117: Heartward leadership with Nicole Meline Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

I believe in spirited movement and revelatory stillness. That we are made to move and be moved in ways that astonish us, lifelong. That physical movement can be spiritually seismic. Breath and sweat are doorways to the heart—noise cancelling headphones for the symphony of our DNA. That ultimately, the metric that matters is joy.
Today my guest is Nicole Meline, and we talk about this thing she calls, "heartward leadership"

EP 116: The Parent Compass with Cynthia Muchnick and Jenn Curtis Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

Navigating our teens comes with some unexpected waves and currents. Today my guests, Cynthia Muchnick and Jenn Curtis have authored a book to help you calm the currents and steady the waves. They are the co-authors of: The Parent Compass.
Bragging rights and bumper stickers are some of the social forces fueling today's parenting behavior, and as a result even well-intentioned parents are behaving badly.

Many parents don't know how best to support their teens, especially when everyone around them seems to be frantically tutoring, managing, and helicoptering. So tune in to this episode to get answers and strategies to some of the most challenging times as parents.

EP 115: The "new" mid life with Michelle Newman Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

How often do we say, "It's not our mom's midlife." Well today's guest tagged that very thing...the new midlife. Meet Michelle Newman.... Podcast host of the new mid podcast, and Founder of the new mid academy.
The New Mid is a frank, funny look at women in mid-life and their day-to day-struggles and successes, as well as the big stuff - questions about meaning, fulfillment and happiness. It’s a place where women in their 40’s and up are breaking societal boundaries and expectations, while still dealing with real life issues such as caring for aging parents or restarting their careers. You’ll get real talk with nothing held back about the topics you care about, with experts weighing in on health, sex, finances, relationships and everything in between.
You can reach Michelle Newman here to find her podcast, her academy and all that she's got going on.....

EP 114: The magic of menopause with Lorraine Miano Jun 25, 2021

Show notes

My name is Lorraine Miano. As an Integrative Holistic Health Coach certified in hormone health, and author of the bestselling book “The Magic of Menopause: A Holistic Guide to Get Your Happy Back!”, I am especially passionate about working with women in all phases of menopause who have weight, metabolism and aging concerns, so that they can have more energy, less stress and feel comfortable in their own skin.

It’s time to change how we think and act about the change of life.

It’s time for the “2nd Talk.”

With over 37.5 million women going through menopause, and the fact that women will spend 50% of their lives as post-menopausal, steps can be taken at any age to keep menopause symptoms from affecting your life in a negative way.

There are so many myths and misconceptions about menopause, and I’d love to help you navigate this sea of confusion!

It’s time to say “adieu” to the “taboo”!

EP 112: Redefining the Prime Woman with Dorthy Miller Shore Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

Redefining the Prime Woman

PRIME is for the ageless generation of women who don’t dress, think, or act like women in previous generations. We are unique. Just as our teen and adult lives did not mirror our mothers, neither do our lives at 50, 60, or 70. Being entrepreneurial prime women ourselves, we launched PRiME as an online magazine that caters to just us! PRiME is a lifestyle guide for living well – not just living long. We provide a fresh perspective through articles written by prime women for prime women on fashion, travel, fitness, beauty, finances, relationships and entertainment. PRiME also offers expert career advice for those still in the professional world or venturing out to open their own business.
Dorthy leads Prime Women as the President and CEO. Previously, she was the founder and CEO of Miller Ad Agency, a 33 year old nationally known automotive and digital advertising agency. Her agency has won dozens of awards for creative excellence and, under her tender, the largest woman owned automotive agency in the U.S. Dorthy now serves as chairman of the board for Miller.

Jennifer also has extensive experience supporting people with various food sensitivities — especially those who are stuck on elimination diets without any improvement.

As a sought-after expert, advocate & speaker, Jennifer has been featured on Dr. Oz, Yahoo! News, CNN, Paleo Magazine, and Philadelphia Magazine.
