Rise Before You're Ready

A few months ago, I developed an itch so severe it hurt to wear clothes.I thought it was a dairy allergy, or a detergent allergy.Then I thought it was stress.Then I started wondering if something was seriously wrong with me.What I never considered was perimenopause.In this first episode of Season 2, I'm sharing the story that started everything—the symptom that sent me searching for answers, the book that changed the questions I was asking, and the rabbit hole that completely changed how I think about women's health after 40.This episode isn't about having all the answers.It's about asking better questions.If you've ever struggled with symptoms that didn't seem connected, felt like your body was changing, or wondered why the things that used to work no longer do, this conversation is for you. In this episode I'll talk about:The mysterious itch that took over my lifeWhy I thought I had developed an allergyThe frustration of having symptoms without answersThe fitness struggles that led me to Stacy Sims' book Next LevelThe moment I realized some of my symptoms might be connectedSymptoms such as burning tongue, heart palpitations, itchy skin, sleep issues, and moreWhy women deserve better education about perimenopause and menopauseThe beginning of my hormone health journeyThis season is about connecting the dots, reclaiming our health, and learning together in real time.Because there is still so much life left to live.And maybe... there's more to the story.

After a short break from the podcast, I'm back—and Season 2 is taking us in a direction I never expected.What started as one unexplained symptom has turned into a journey of asking bigger questions about women's health after 40, perimenopause, menopause, hormones, strength, energy, and the things nobody seems to talk about until you're living them.This season isn't about having all the answers.It's about learning in real time.Together, we'll explore:Perimenopause and menopauseHormones and women's healthStrength training and muscle after 40Sleep, energy, and motivationAdvocating for yourself in the healthcare systemThe questions women should be asking about their healthBHRT and my personal journeyWhat I've learned—and what I'm still learningIf you've ever felt like your body changed and nobody handed you the manual, this season is for you.Because there's still so much life left to live.And maybe... there's more to the story.💛Coming Next WeekYou Don't Know You're in Perimenopause Until You're in ItThe story that started all of this:The symptom that sent me searching for answersThe book that changed the questions I was askingThe rabbit hole that completely changed how I think about women's health after 40Connect with Rise Collective:Facebook: Rise CollectivePrivate Community: The Rise RoomInstagram: @dawnleblanc_risecollective#WomenOver40 #Perimenopause #Menopause #WomensHealth #BHRT #HealthyAging #StrengthAfter40 #RiseCollective #RiseBeforeYoureReady #MidlifeWomen #HormoneHealth #ReclaimYourHealth

Falling off doesn’t mean you failed.It means you’re human.In the final episode of this 4 part series, we’re talking about the part of growth nobody really prepares you for — the moment when you realize you’ve drifted from the habits, routines, and promises you made to yourself.Maybe life got heavy.Maybe you got overwhelmed.Maybe you stopped showing up for yourself the way you wanted to.And instead of simply getting back on track, you turned it into proof that you can’t change.This episode is about changing that pattern.We’re talking about:why falling off is not the same as failingthe damage caused by all-or-nothing thinkinghow to stop restarting from day one every time life happensthe importance of having a Plan Bwhy returning is more powerful than starting overhow to rebuild self-trust through small promisespractical steps to take when you feel off trackThe goal isn’t to become a woman who never falls off.The goal is to become a woman who knows how to come back without abandoning herself.

How many times have you told yourself:“I’ll start over Monday”?This episode is about the cycle so many women stay trapped in:Start. Stop. Restart. Repeat.And the truth is… starting over can feel productive while actually keeping you stuck.In part 3 of this 4 part series, we talk about:Why constantly restarting destroys self-trustThe difference between falling off and quittingWhy women often treat one bad day like total failureThe hidden comfort in “fresh starts”How to stop making setbacks mean something about youPractical ways to bounce back faster instead of restarting completelyWe also dive into:The all-or-nothing mindsetWhy perfectionism fuels inconsistencyHow to build a “bounce back” plan for real lifeThe mountain analogy that changes how you look at progressBecause changing your life isn’t about never falling off.It’s about becoming someone who always comes back.Follow Rise Collective on Facebook and @dawnleblanc_risecollective on InstagramEverything in one place, including some free gifts:linktr.ee/rise_collective

If you’ve ever said “I’ll start Monday”… and didn’t…If you’ve ever put yourself last without even thinking about it…If you’ve ever felt like you just can’t stay consistent no matter how hard you try…This episode is for you.Because the truth is—this isn’t about motivation.It’s about trust.In this episode, we go deeper than surface-level habits and talk about what’s actually happening when you keep breaking promises to yourself—and why it’s so common, especially for women who have spent years putting everyone else first.In part 2 of this 4 part series, we talk about:How self-trust is broken (and why it’s not what you think)The hidden pattern of self-abandonmentWhy wives and mothers often put themselves last—automaticallyHow “life gets busy” becomes a cycle that keeps you stuckThe difference between being selfish and finally including yourselfPractical ways to start rebuilding trust with yourself—without starting overThis episode isn’t about doing more.It’s about becoming someone who finally does what she says she’s going to do.One small promise at a time.Because the goal isn’t perfection.It’s self-trust.

If you keep starting over… this episode is for you.We’ve been taught to rely on motivation to change our lives—to wait until we feel ready, energized, inspired enough to finally follow through.But motivation is a feeling.And feelings change.That’s why so many women feel stuck in the same cycle:Starting strong → falling off → starting again.It’s not because you’re lazy.It’s not because you don’t want it bad enough.It’s because you’re relying on something that was never meant to carry you.In part 1 of this 4 part series, we’re breaking down what actually creates change— and how to build it in a way that lasts.Why motivation is unreliable (and why it keeps you stuck)The real reason you struggle with consistencyHow breaking your own word destroys self-trustWhy discipline isn’t punishment—it’s self-respectThe cycle of “starting over” and how to finally break itKeep small promises to yourselfStop trying to change everything overnight. Start small and rebuild trust through follow-through.Remove the negotiationDecide once. Stop debating with yourself every day based on how you feel.Lower the bar to build consistencyConsistency beats intensity. Do less—but do it regularly.Show up especially when you don’t feel like itDiscipline is built on the hard days, not the easy ones.Shift your identityBecome someone who follows through—not perfectly, but consistently.Motivation will get you started sometimes…but discipline is what carries you through.And if you’re tired of starting over…It’s time to stop waiting to feel like it—and start becoming someone who follows through.You don’t need more motivation.You need a decision.And then you need to follow through.Don’t wait until you feel ready.Rise before you’re ready.

There’s a season of life that no one really prepares women for.It’s not loud.It’s not dramatic.It’s subtle.Your kids start needing you less.The house gets quieter.Your role begins to shift.And instead of feeling free…you feel a little lost.In this episode, we’re talking about the in-between season —the one where life is changing, but you’re not quite sure who you are inside of it yet.Because this isn’t just about your kids growing up.It’s about identity.It’s about purpose.It’s about learning how to exist in a life that no longer needs you the same way.We get into:Why this season can feel so uncomfortable (even when nothing is wrong)The identity shift that happens when you’re no longer needed in the same wayThe quiet grief that comes with outgrowing a version of your lifeHow this transition can impact your relationshipWhy feeling “lost” isn’t actually what’s happeningHow to start reconnecting with yourself — without pressureThis episode is for the woman who:Feels a little off… but can’t explain whyHas more time… but doesn’t know what to do with itIs proud of her kids… but still feels like she’s losing somethingIs stepping into a new chapter… and doesn’t quite recognize it yetYou’re not lost.You’re in between versions of yourself.And this season?It’s not empty.It’s where something new begins.And as always…Don’t wait until you feel ready.Rise before you’re ready. 💛

What if nothing is wrong with you?What if the anxiety, the exhaustion, the disconnection… isn’t who you are—but what you’ve been living in?In this episode, I share a deeply personal experience of what it felt like to believe my body was failing me—only to realize I was in an environment that was slowly breaking me down.From hospital visits and constant anxiety to losing joy, energy, and a sense of self… I thought I needed to fix myself.But the truth was harder—and more freeing than that.I didn’t need to fix myself.I needed to look at where I was. I needed to analyze my environment.This episode will challenge you to stop blaming yourself and start paying attention to what your body, your energy, and your identity are trying to tell you.In this episode, we talk about:How your environment can impact your physical health and nervous systemThe difference between burnout and emotional depletionWhy women are conditioned to blame themselves firstHow unsafe environments distort your sense of selfWhy you can’t heal in the same environment that’s hurting youKey Takeaway:You are not a broken version of yourself.You may just be trying to survive in a place that was never meant to support you.Reflection Questions:Is it me… or is it where I am?How does my body actually feel in my current environment?Where does my energy feel drained the most?Who have I become in this space?What am I blaming on myself that might actually be a response or reaction to my environment?Closing Reminder:You don’t force a flower to grow.You change the environment… and it blooms.And as always…Don’t wait until you feel ready.Rise before you’re ready. 💛

Your relationship doesn’t just affect your love life…It affects your energy.Your confidence.Your clarity.Your ability to show up in every area of your life.In this episode, we’re going deeper into something many women feel—but don’t always name:👉 The emotional cost of being in a draining relationship👉 How your nervous system is trying to tell you the truth👉 Why the wrong relationship creates confusion, exhaustion, and self-doubt👉 What the right relationship actually feels like (and why it might feel unfamiliar at first)👉 And how to start taking your power back—without blowing up your life overnightThis isn’t about judgment.This isn’t about telling you what to do.It’s about awareness.Because the moment you stop abandoning yourself…everything starts to become clearer.Your relationship impacts far more than just your romantic lifeYour body often knows something is off before your mind admits itWalking on eggshells is not normal—it’s survival modeThe right relationship feels calm, steady, and supportiveYou don’t have to leave—but you do have to come back to yourselfDon’t wait until you feel ready.Rise before you’re ready. 💛

There comes a moment in life when things start to feel… heavy.Not because you’re not strong enough.Not because you’re not trying hard enough.But because you’re holding onto something that no longer belongs in the next chapter of your life.In this episode, we’re diving into the truth that most people avoid:You cannot carry everyone through every door.We explore:Why attachment keeps us holding onto what feels familiar (even when it’s not healthy)How history and “time invested” can trap us in misaligned situationsThe fear that keeps us stuck — and how to move through itHow to recognize when you’ve outgrown a person, place, or version of yourselfWhy letting go isn’t loss — it’s alignmentThis episode is for the woman who feels the shift…who knows something isn’t right anymore…but is scared to let go.Because sometimes the life you’ve been praying for…is waiting on the other side of what you’re afraid to release.✨ Key Takeaway:You don’t lose what’s aligned with you.You outgrow what isn’t.💛 If this episode resonated, share it with someone who might need it.And as always…Don’t wait until you feel ready.Rise before you’re ready.

Mean girl energy doesn’t end in high school — it just gets quieter, more subtle, and sometimes even more damaging.In this episode of Rise Before You’re Ready, we’re talking about how to handle gossip, judgment, and exclusion without losing yourself in the process.Because the truth is…Anyone can match negative energy.But strong women?They choose something different.In this episode, we dive into:Where mean girl energy really comes fromHow it slowly pulls you into becoming someone you’re notA powerful real-life story that will shift your perspective5 ways to deal with mean girls without becoming oneWhy building your own table doesn’t mean everyone gets a seatThis is about boundaries, self-respect, and rising without tearing other women down.Because you don’t have to shrink…And you don’t have to become them either.✨All my links in one place:⁠https://linktr.ee/rise_collective

Last week we talked about mean girl energy and the insecurity that often sits underneath it. The response was overwhelming—so many women shared their experiences with competition, comparison, and betrayal in female relationships.This week we’re going deeper.Because mean girl energy rarely starts with cruelty.It starts with insecurity.In this episode, we unpack where that insecurity comes from, how it shapes the way women sometimes treat each other, and most importantly—how we begin healing it.We’ll talk about:• Why mean girl energy is rooted in insecurity• How comparison fuels competition between women• The difference between guarding chairs and building tables• Five ways to start healing insecurity in your own life• Why therapy can help put language to experiences you may have carried for yearsBecause healing insecurity doesn’t just change your life—it changes how women show up for each other.And when women stop competing and start collaborating…we build bigger tables.Secure women don’t guard chairs.They build tables.And every time a woman chooses healing over insecurity, the culture between women shifts.

Mean girl energy didn’t disappear after high school.It just got quieter… and more polished.In this episode of Rise Before You’re Ready, we take a real and honest look at the subtle forms of competition, insecurity, and comparison that can still exist between grown women.Sometimes it shows up as backhanded compliments.Sometimes it’s exclusion.Sometimes it’s subtle digs disguised as “honesty.”But the truth is — mean girl energy is rarely about cruelty.It’s about insecurity.It’s about scarcity thinking.And often, it’s about wounds that were never healed.In this episode we unpack:• What mean girl energy actually looks like in adulthood• Why insecurity and unhealed wounds can create competition between women• The difference between scarcity thinking and abundance thinking• Why another woman’s success doesn’t take anything away from you• How to respond to mean girl energy without becoming it• The inner work required to build confidence instead of comparisonWe also take a moment for honest self-reflection — because growth requires us to look inward, not just outward.At Rise Collective, we believe something different:Healed women build tables.Unhealed women guard chairs.This episode is an invitation to do the work, break scarcity thinking, and rise without shrinking for anyone.Because over here, we don’t compete.We rise.

There’s a quiet moment that changes everything.Not drama. Not chaos. Not collapse.Clarity.In this episode, I unpack the difference between survival and stability, clinging and choosing, intensity and alignment.If you’ve ever confused being needed with being chosen…If you’ve ever mistaken chaos for passion…If you’ve ever stayed because you believed in potential…This conversation will shift you.You’ll learn:Why survival isn’t the same as buildingThe difference between clinging and intentional partnershipHow your reaction to instability gets mislabelled as chaosWhy your nervous system always knows before your mind doesWhat building something steady actually looks likeSome people are part of your life. Some are part of your formation.And once clarity arrives, you rise differently.🎧 Tune in — and let fear lose its vote.

Why is it so easy to give powerful, life-changing advice to everyone else…but hesitate when it’s time to follow it ourselves?In this episode of Rise Before You’re Ready, we’re getting honest about the gap between knowing and doing.You already know what to do.The real question is — why aren’t you doing it?We unpack:Why familiar discomfort feels safer than unfamiliar freedomThe fear of judgment that keeps women playing smallHow identity and long-held roles keep us stuckThe hidden “secondary gain” of staying where we areThe cost of self-betrayalThis episode is a wake-up call for women who are done tolerating what drains them — and ready to stop abandoning themselves.At this stage of life, peace is the standard.You don’t need more advice.You need courage.And maybe, just maybe, this is the moment you stop being the wise woman for everyone else… and finally become her for yourself.🎧 Listen in.🔥 Take one step within 48 hours.✨ Start acting like the woman you already are.

There are seasons when moving forward isn’t about ambition, growth, or chasing a dream.It’s about survival.It’s about choosing not to stay frozen in pain.In this episode of Rise Before You’re Ready, we talk about what it really means to keep going when life doesn’t pause for your pain—when you’re back in your life, back at work, back showing up, even though you don’t feel okay yet.Through story and reflection, we explore:Why moving forward is not the same as moving onThe myth of needing to feel “ready” before you take the next stepWhat strength actually looks like in dark seasonsHow you don’t need clarity or answers—just a glimpse of lightIf you’re walking through a season that feels heavy, quiet, or unfinished, this episode is for you.You don’t need to see the whole path.You don’t need to feel strong.You just need to take the next step

There’s a moment in every journey that nobody really talks about.You’re no longer at the beginning.But you’re not at the breakthrough either.You’re just… almost there.In this episode of Rise Before You’re Ready, we talk about the quiet middle — the season where you’re tired, questioning yourself, and tempted to pull back even though you’ve already come so far.This isn’t a conversation about pushing harder or forcing outcomes. It’s about understanding what’s really happening when things feel slow, heavy, or unclear — and why this part of the process often shows up right before things begin to shift.We also look at the story of Vera Wang and how her biggest breakthrough didn’t come early — it came in her 40s after years of redirection, waiting, and staying in motion without settling.If you’ve been wondering whether you should keep going,this episode is a reminder that being tired doesn’t mean you’re behind — and "almost there" is still progress.Take a breath. You're not alone here.

Indecision feels harmless.Like you’re being careful. Like you’re keeping your options open.But not deciding is still deciding — and it’s costing you more than you think.In this episode of Rise Before You’re Ready, I break down why indecision isn’t neutral, how fear shows up at the end of your comfort zone, and why waiting for certainty keeps you stuck in the same exhausting loop.You’ll hear the truth about “choose your hard,” why avoiding the decision doesn’t remove difficulty, and how clarity comes after movement — not before it.If you’ve been circling the same choice, postponing the conversation, or waiting for life to calm down, this episode will help you take the first honest step.✨ Free Roadmap: Start Messy or Stay StuckDownload the companion roadmap here: https://rise-collective-2.kit.com/start_messy_roadmapFind all resources + links here: https://linktr.ee/rise_collective
