The Energized Woman Podcast

If you’ve been feeling constantly drained, foggy, or like your body just isn’t keeping up the way it used to — this episode is for you.
I’m joined by Dr. Thea Rabb, a Naturopath who helps people restore energy and vitality by working with the body’s natural healing intelligence — not against it. Her philosophy is simple yet profound: your body knows how to heal when you give it what it truly needs.
We talk about the often-overlooked fundamentals that create real, lasting energy — and how small daily choices can have a powerful impact on your mood, hormones, and resilience.
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel so exhausted despite doing “all the right things,” or how to finally support your body in a more natural and sustainable way, this conversation will give you hope — and some simple, doable steps to begin shifting out of depletion and back into balance.
You’ll walk away feeling inspired to slow down, tune in, and trust your body’s wisdom again.
🎧 Listen in to learn:
The often-missed daily habits that can restore your energy naturally
Why your adrenals, sleep, and breath matter more than you think
How to start feeling vibrant again — without adding more to your to-do list

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of everyone else’s emotions? You start the day feeling fine, but by the time you’ve been around coworkers, family, or friends, you’re drained—like their stress has somehow become yours.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many women in midlife are natural caregivers and problem-solvers, but it often comes at a cost: exhaustion, resentment, and feeling like there’s nothing left for yourself.
In this episode, we’re diving into the power of emotional boundaries—how to stop absorbing stress that isn’t yours, protect your energy, and still show up with love and compassion.
This conversation will help you:
Understand why you might be taking on other people’s stuff
Recognize when you’re carrying what isn’t yours
Create space to breathe, recharge, and actually feel like yourself again
Practical tools you can implement today
You don’t have to build walls to protect your peace. With small shifts, you can stay grounded, connected, and energized—without taking on everyone else’s stress.

If life as a woman 40+ leaves you weary and wishing for a reset, this episode is your invitation to rediscover what nourishes you.

Instead of detailed steps, we’ll meet you in the messy, real-life space where cravings for rest, respect, and belonging collide. The conversation will help you reflect on what you need most—and why it matters.

What’s at stake when your needs go unmet for too long
The hidden impact of always saying “yes”

When was the last time you did something just for fun?
If you’re like so many women in their 40s and beyond, life has been running at such a fast pace that joy and play slipped to the bottom of the list… if they made the list at all. Between work, responsibilities, and simply trying to keep it all together, the thought of fun can feel almost impossible — maybe even selfish.
But here’s the truth: fun isn’t frivolous. It’s fuel.
In this episode of The Energized Woman Podcast, we’ll talk about why making time for fun matters even when you feel completely exhausted — and how it can actually help you feel lighter, more energized, and more focused. You’ll hear simple, realistic ways to bring joy back into your life without adding more to your already full plate.
✨ If you’ve been stuck in survival mode and missing that spark of joy, this conversation will give you permission — and inspiration — to reconnect with the parts of life that leave you smiling.
Because you deserve more than just getting through the day. You deserve to enjoy it.

We’ve all heard that eating well and exercising are key to good health. But what if one of the biggest influences on your physical and mental well-being isn’t about food or fitness at all?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Joe Sage, a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Lifestyle Medicine, a former Assistant Professor of Medicine at Case and Med-Peds Residency Program Director at Case MetroHealth and Transformation Coach who has spent over 20 years caring for patients and now helps people move beyond just the absence of disease to truly thrive. Together, we explore a topic that often hides in plain sight: loneliness.
We talk about loneliness is not only about being alone—it’s also about how healthy and energized we feel. Loneliness shows up in our bodies in powerful (and surprising) ways.
We talk about:
Why people often don’t recognize loneliness as the root of their exhaustion or health struggles
How being disconnected and lonely impacts our health (we learn what areas with the highest concentration of 100 year olds do differently)
The difference between loneliness and depression—and why understanding it matters
Practical ways to build deeper connection with yourself and others, even if your life already feels full
If you’ve ever felt out of balance, uninspired, or constantly drained, this conversation will open your eyes to a missing piece you might not have considered. Dr. Joe offers not only insight but also real practices to help you nurture meaningful relationships—and, in the process, improve your overall health.
Because when it comes down to it, connection is essential.
Tune in and discover how to start reclaiming your energy and well-being through the power of connection.

This episode takes a different pace. Tanja shares how a recent real-life event led her to slow down and invites you to do the same when life throws a curve ball. She talks about granting yourself permission to rest, let go of non-essentials, and focus on what truly matters—especially when circumstances shift or when your energy is low. It’s a gentle reminder to listen to your needs and care for yourself when things don’t go as planned.
What’s covered:
Unscripted reflections on self-care, rest, and resilience
Gentle reminders to check in with yourself—even when it’s hard
Permission to slow down and honor your own pace
A candid offering, created in the spirit of “being enough”
Sometimes plans change. Sometimes, showing up simply means being present. This episode embraces both.
