Life Update: Puppies, GLP1 Peptides and What's Next for 2026
Hey friends!
Today I'm back sharing about what’s changed over the past few months, including bringing a new puppy into our lives, starting a GLP-1 (Ozempic) and what's changed since we last talked.
I share what surprised me most about starting a GLP-1, especially how quieting food noise and alcohol cravings gave me back mental space I didn’t realize I’d lost.
I also share about the judgment that comes with this medication, how I navigated talking to my doctor, what my bloodwork showed, and why I see GLP-1s as a tool, not a shortcut.
I end this episode with a shift that has affected my energy, focus, and how I’m thinking about my business and this podcast heading into 2026.
This episode is my personal experience, not medical advice. If anything here resonates, talk to your healthcare provider and do what feels right for you.
If you’re a midlife woman juggling hormones, a business, family, and trying to feel like yourself again, this one’s for you.
