Midlife, Menopause & Coming Home to Your Body with Bonnie Papajohn

What if midlife wasn’t the beginning of decline, but the start of your most powerful, connected chapter yet? In this episode, I sit down with menopause and midlife health coach Bonnie Papajohn to talk honestly about what’s really happening in your body—and how to work with it, not against it.We cover the full picture of perimenopause and menopause: hormonal shifts, brain fog, fatigue, changing metabolism, and the stress that makes it all harder. Bonnie shares her own midlife reset—surgical menopause, separation, burnout—and how she rebuilt her energy and confidence through gentle, sustainable changes: mindful eating, simple meals, and somatic practices that calm the nervous system fast. We dig into why the diets and workouts that worked at 35 don’t always serve at 50, how to reduce inflammation, balance blood sugar, and build steadier energy without extremes.If you’re craving clearer thinking, deeper rest, and a kinder relationship with your changing body, this episode will remind you that midlife isn’t the end—it’s a recalibration.About BonnieBonnie Papajohn is the founder of Dahlia Health & Nutrition Coaching and a certified health, nutrition, and menopause specialist with over 15 years in the wellness industry.
