  • Honest Conversations

    Victoria’s point of view on this time of life is so relatable and honest. The guests she has on have experienced the midlife transition and speak truthfully about how it’s messy, challenging but necessary to become who we want to be in this next chapter. I appreciate her medical background as a pharmacist and her knowledge on perimenopause and menopause but also her dedication to not “selling” products or quick fixes, but giving women the information and tools they need to master this time of li... more

  • Great content and entertaining podcast!

    Thank you for sharing your story with a relatable and knowledgeable lens. As a physician assistant (who also received very little training in menopause care) and woman in her mid 40s also navigating life’s changes, I’m excited to hear more from you. Thanks for being brave and for taking the time to make healthcare and middle life better for us all.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

104. Why High-Performing Women Feel Exhausted: The Hidden Systems Failing Midlife Women
Q: What practical change can a woman implement first to begin stabilizing her performance?
Start with structured recovery to give the nervous system time to reset, followed by redefining capacity and aligning identity with a sustainable workload.
104. Why High-Performing Women Feel Exhausted: The Hidden Systems Failing Midlife Women
Q: Why is the common advice to 'do more' not effective for these women?
Because the problem is an infrastructure failure, not a personal deficit; increasing effort without addressing the system leads to faster burnout and deeper fatigue.
104. Why High-Performing Women Feel Exhausted: The Hidden Systems Failing Midlife Women
Q: How does Risewell define the entry point for helping high-performing midlife women.
The entry point is usually capacity—the first signal is cognitive clarity and a sense of space, showing up before broader energy or boundary shifts, and then addressing identity to prevent recycling the same load.
101.Perimenopause Symptoms, Hormone Therapy, and the Care Gap for Women | Jackie Piasta (REPLAY)
Q: How has telehealth changed access to care for perimenopausal patients?
Telehealth removes geographic barriers and lets patients have extended consultations that cover life history, symptoms, labs, and treatment plans, which is critical because menopause care requires time and a holistic view of the patient.
101.Perimenopause Symptoms, Hormone Therapy, and the Care Gap for Women | Jackie Piasta (REPLAY)
Q: What sparked your interest in menopause and perimenopause care?
Growing up around a women's health clinic and a physician mother, I was exposed early to reproductive health issues, which drew me toward helping women through transitions like perimenopause and menopause with empathy and a science-based approach.
