Cast your Webby vote for The Tamsen Show ⁠here⁠! Thank you for your support 🧡 Tamsen left a 30-year career as a television news anchor at 52 without a plan that looked like a plan to anyone who knew her. This is the episode where she tells you exactly what that felt like, what kept her stuck, and what finally made her go. Whether you're burned out and not sure if that's the whole story, quietly building something on the side and wondering if you should take the leap, or staying somewhere that no longer fits because at least you know who you are there, this conversation meets you where you are. Because most career advice wasn't made for women at this stage of life. And the voice that says you should have figured this out earlier isn't telling you the truth. You'll learn how to: - Tell the difference between burnout and boredom, and why it changes everything - Answer the identity question that keeps most women stuck longer than anything else - Find the skills that travel with you no matter what the next chapter looks like - Build a runway before you leap, and what that actually means in practice - Use the overlap period to get clarity, not just hustle This episode is also for the woman who isn't quite ready to leave yet but knows something is shifting. You don't have to have a plan. You just have to start listening. Career transitions at midlife are one of the most common things women navigate alone. If this conversation helped you feel less alone in it, we'd love to hear from you.

If you have ever lost a friend and felt like you weren't allowed to grieve it, this episode is for you. In this deeply personal solo episode, Tamsen opens up about one of the most painful experiences women carry quietly: the friendship breakup. Whether it ended with a blowup, a slow fade, or a silence that just kept getting louder, the loss of a close friend can hurt just as much as a romantic breakup, and yet the world rarely gives you permission to treat it that way. Tamsen shares her own story of losing a close friend around the time of her wedding, the years of silence that followed, and the phone call that finally changed everything. She also breaks down the science behind why friendship loss registers in your brain as physical pain, and introduces a term from psychology you may have never heard, but will immediately recognize. She also shares 5 tools to help you start moving through it, not around it. You'll learn how to: - Write the letter you never have to send (but desperately need to write) - Use the two-column method to get honest about what the friendship really was - Ask yourself the one question before you reach out or try to fix it - Stop filling the space before you've heard what it's telling you This episode is also for the woman who was the one who pulled away, who stopped calling back, who outgrew someone she used to love. The guilt of that is real too, and Tamsen doesn't skip over it. Friendship loss is one of the most common experiences women share and one of the least talked about.

In today’s episode of The Tamsen Show, Joanna Strober (CEO and co-founder of Midi Health) sits down with Tamsen Fadal to discuss the habits, mindset shifts, and resilience you need to build the unstoppable confidence to go after what you want. The lesson Joanna shares in this episode is harsh but true: it doesn’t matter how accomplished you are, confidence is something we all want and need more of. The good news is that confidence isn’t something you have or don’t have. Confidence is a byproduct of the opportunities you create for yourself, the people you surround yourself with, and the courage and curiosity you bring to every chapter of your life. Joanna’s life and career teaches us that confidence is strengthened by doing it before you feel ready, by taking the first step without worrying what the second step might look like. In this episode, you’ll learn: - What it takes to build a billion-dollar company - The daily habits of highly successful people - What to do when you realize you’re on the wrong career path - Mindset shifts to overcome career setbacks Plus, Tamsen and Joanna discuss: - The future of women’s health and telemedicine - The gaps in (peri)menopause and midlife healthcare - The changing conversation around weight management, obesity, and GLP-1’s The most interesting thing about Joanna isn’t her accolades, but how many chapters she’s lived. With each milestone, she learned how to move through fear and rejection with more strength, how to pivot when doors close, and how to carve out new opportunities that are changing the world. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a framework to do the same.

In this deeply personal solo episode, Tamsen Fadal opens up about a question many women still struggle to answer out loud: Do you want children? For much of her life, that question carried a weight she rarely talked about publicly. In this conversation, Tamsen shares the story of how she came to understand that motherhood wasn’t the path she wanted and why it took years to feel comfortable saying that clearly. She reflects on the expectations many women grow up with and the pressure that can come when your life doesn’t follow that timeline. The episode explores the quiet moments of doubt, the comments people make without realizing their impact, and the internal work required to trust your own decisions. Tamsen also shares 5 tools that help her navigate those conversations and stay grounded in her choice. These are the practical ways she learned to respond when people questioned her decision, projected their fears, or assumed she would eventually change her mind. You’ll learn how to: - Stop feeling responsible for explaining your personal decisions - Recognize when someone else’s fears are being placed onto your life - Speak about your choices with clarity and confidence - Build relationships with people who respect your path - Accept that some people may never fully understand your decision Tamsen also speaks directly to women who may still be figuring it out. The space between certainty and uncertainty can feel isolating, especially when everyone around you seems to have strong opinions about what your life should look like. This episode offers a different perspective. Your life does not have to follow a predetermined script. A meaningful, full life can take many forms, and the most important decisions about your future belong to you.

In this deeply personal solo episode, Tamsen Fadal opens up about what reinvention actually looks like and how to rewrite your next chapter with intention. After walking away from a 30-year career and stepping into an entirely new season of life, she found herself facing a question so many women quietly ask: If I’m not who I used to be… who am I now? This episode is about the space between who you were and who you’re becoming. It’s about the old identities we cling to, the labels that once felt safe, and the fear that shows up when you begin starting over (even when you know it’s time.) Reinvention isn’t about erasing your past. It’s about deciding which parts of your story still belong in your next chapter. You’ll learn how to: - Identify and release the outdated labels that are quietly shaping your decisions - Use the “I’m having the thought that…” technique to create distance from self-doubt - Write a realistic “week in the life” of your next chapter to clarify who you’re becoming - Practice your new identity through small, daily actions that build momentum - Handle resistance from others without explaining or defending yourself - Stay anchored to your “why” when fear or second-guessing creeps in By the end of this episode, you’ll see starting over differently. You’ll understand that you’re not too old, it’s not too late, and you’re not done… you’re still becoming. And you’ll walk away with a clear, grounded way to step into your next chapter without losing yourself in the process.

Marie Forleo joins Tamsen Fadal on the podcast for a powerful conversation about navigating uncertainty, slowing down, and figuring out what’s next. At some point in life, almost all of us hit a moment where we quietly ask ourselves, “Now what?” It might come after a big transition. Or when the path you worked so hard to build suddenly doesn’t feel like it fits anymore. Or when you’re doing “all the right things,” yet something still feels unsettled. This in-between phase of life can feel disorienting, confusing, and overwhelming–especially when you don’t have the “five-year-plan” that everyone else seems to have. That’s exactly why Tamsen invited Marie Forleo on the podcast. Marie is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything Is Figureoutable who has spent decades helping women build businesses and lifestyles without burnout and hustle culture.

In this episode, Marie shares how you can move through uncertainty with confidence and offers practical tools and mantras that have helped millions of women quiet the noise, reconnect with their intuition, and design a life that actually supports them. In this episode, Tamsen and Marie discuss how you can: Stop letting fear and scarcity drive your decisions Break free from comparison Tune out the noise and tune into your intuition Simplify your life so you can amplify what matters most Regulate your nervous system by slowing down What to do when you don’t have a five-year plan (and why that’s okay) Overcome imposter syndrome Stay focused without burning out Build a life rooted in freedom, clarity, purpose, and joy By the end of this conversation, you’ll know how to move forward intentionally so that the next chapter supports your life instead of consuming it.

Dr Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Tamsen to talk about so much of the longevity advice out there. Eat more protein. But how much is actually enough? Get stronger. But where do you even start? One day it’s a new workout. The next day it’s a new diet trend. There’s so much conflicting information around women’s health, it’s impossible to distinguish what’s backed by science and what’s just noise. That’s exactly why Tamsen asked Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a board-certified physician leading the global shift in how we think about aging and health, to come on the podcast.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, irritable, or done explaining yourself, or quietly wondering, “Why does everything feel so much harder right now?" this episode is for you. In this powerful conversation on The Tamsen Show, Tamsen sits down with Melani Sanders, founder of the We Do Not Care Club and author of the We Do Not Care Club Handbook to talk about the moment so many women hit during perimenopause and menopause... When they realize they are simply at capacity. What emerges here is relief. The kind of relief that comes from boundaries, self-trust, and finally choosing yourself. Melani shares the story behind her viral grocery store parking lot video, what was happening in her body after a hysterectomy, and how unaddressed hormonal changes, anxiety, insomnia, and identity shifts pushed her to say the quiet part out loud: I don’t care anymore. That moment didn’t just go viral, it sparked a global movement. Together, Tamsen and Melani talk about why this shift so often shows up in midlife, how women end up suffering in silence, and what happens when you stop managing expectations that no longer fit who you are. This episode will make you feel seen, validated, and less alone in this chapter of life. In this episode, you’ll hear: - Why so many women experience burnout and emotional overload in midlife - The connection between hysterectomy, perimenopause, menopause, and mental health - What “being at capacity” really means for women’s bodies and brains - How the We Do Not Care Club became a sisterhood for women who feel unseen - Why stopping the over explaining can be one of the most healing choices you make This conversation is honest, funny, and deeply validating.

Dr. Lucky Sekhon is the fertility expert that is helping so many women understand their options when it comes to egg freezing, IVF and your options. Trying to understand fertility today can feel overwhelming, confusing, and loaded with guilt. Especially if you’re in your 30s or 40s and constantly hearing conflicting advice about “the biological clock,” egg quality, and what you should or shouldn’t be doing right now. Many women are left blaming themselves, chasing supplements, or relying on social media myths instead of clear medical guidance. This is exactly why Tamsen sat down with Dr. Lucky, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and author of ‘The Lucky Egg.’ Dr. Lucky has spent years treating patients and studying fertility from the inside and her work challenges many of the outdated narratives that still dominate conversations about getting pregnant, aging, and reproductive health. In this episode, she explains what actually matters when it comes to fertility, what doesn’t, and why so much of what women are told creates unnecessary stress, shame, and misinformation. Tamsen and Dr. Lucky discuss: - What the biological clock really means (and what it doesn’t) - The difference between egg quantity and egg quality - Why fertility is never entirely within your control (and why that’s important to understand) - When to start thinking about fertility, even if you’re not ready to try - How perimenopause, age, and reproductive health intersect - What lifestyle changes actually help and which ones are overhyped - The truth about supplements, egg freezing, and fertility preservation - Why fertility struggles are never just “a woman’s issue” This conversation cuts through fear-based messaging and replaces it with grounded, science-backed clarity. Instead of telling women to do more, stress less, or “optimize everything,” Dr. Lucky offers a more realistic, compassionate framework for understanding fertility, one that centers knowledge, choice, and mental health. If you’re trying to get pregnant, thinking about your future options, or simply want to understand your body better, this episode will help you separate facts from myths and focus on what truly matters.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like your brain won’t slow down is incredibly common, especially when there’s pressure to be calmer, more productive, or more “together.” Many people blame themselves for this: for not being disciplined enough, resilient enough, or mentally strong enough. But what if anxiety isn’t a personal failure and what if your brain is actually doing exactly what it was designed to do? This is exactly why Tamsen sat down with Dr. Wendy Suzuki, a world-renowned neuroscientist, NYU professor, and expert on brain plasticity: the brain’s ability to change and adapt. Dr. Wendy Suzuki has spent decades studying how stress, anxiety, movement, sleep, and daily habits shape the brain. Dr. Wendy shows that anxiety isn’t just a feeling, it’s a biological response that can hijack focus, memory, and emotional regulation when the brain is under pressure. In this episode, she breaks down what’s really happening inside your brain when anxiety shows up and explains why trying to “push through” or “calm down” often backfires. Most importantly, she shares the science-backed tools that actually help your nervous system reset and restore a sense of control. Tamsen and Dr. Lucky discuss: - Why anxiety is a fight-or-flight response, not a mindset problem - What chronic stress does to focus, memory, and emotional regulation - Why anxiety can make you feel foggy, tense, or unlike yourself - The role movement, cardio, and sleep play in calming the brain - Simple tools you can use in real life to calm your nervous system today This conversation cuts through the shame and confusion around anxiety and replaces it with clarity, relief, and understanding. Instead of asking you to “fix yourself,” it shows you how to work with your brain. If anxiety has been running the show and leaving you feeling overwhelmed or out of control, this episode offers a grounded, science-backed way to understand what’s happening and what actually helps.

Tamsen knows personally that starting over can feel overwhelming and discouraging, especially when it comes to dating, navigating dating apps, and trying to make sense of modern dating after divorce or a long relationship. Many women find themselves burnt out, questioning their instincts, and unsure how to find a healthy relationship when the old rules no longer seem to apply. This is exactly why Tamsen turned to Bela Gandhi, dating coach, relationship expert, and founder of the Smart Dating Academy. Bela has helped thousands of women find meaningful, lasting relationships by replacing guesswork with a clear, data-driven formula for dating with intention. In this episode, she lays out the framework she uses to help women find love that feels safe, secure, and emotionally available and explains why following a proven system matters more than chemistry, luck, or timing. Tamsen and Bela discuss: - Why dating apps feel so exhausting and how to use them more strategically - The biggest mistakes people make on dating profiles and photos - What chemistry really is and why butterflies can be misleading - How to spot red flags early without becoming cynical - What to look for (and not overthink) on first dates - How to date with clarity, confidence, and realistic expectations - The patterns and behaviors that consistently lead to lasting relationships This conversation cuts through the noise, myths, and mixed messages around dating and replaces them with clarity, reassurance, and a roadmap you can actually follow.

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with renewed hope, practical tools, and the confidence that finding love doesn’t have to be random.

Menopause doesn’t just change your body. It changes how you think, how you feel, and how you see yourself. For so many women, that shift shows up as brain fog, exhaustion, lost motivation, or a quiet fear that something is “wrong,” even when nothing is. In this episode, Tamsen is joined by Dr. Mindy Pelz, functional medicine expert and bestselling author of Fast Like a Girl and her new book Age Like a Girl, to break down what’s actually happening in the female brain during menopause and why understanding it can be empowering instead of frightening. They explore how menopause rewires the brain, why motivation and clarity can disappear seemingly overnight, and how metabolic health and fasting play a role in supporting brain function during this transition. They discuss: - Why menopause is a neurological shift, not a mental decline - What’s really behind brain fog, low motivation, and emotional changes - How fasting supports brain health during menopause - The role of insulin, blood sugar, and metabolic health - Why dopamine and motivation work differently after 40 - How to restore clarity, energy, and confidence - Practical tools women can use to support their brains in midlife This conversation reframes menopause as a transition into clarity, self-trust, and power, not something to fear or push through. If you’ve felt different in your body or mind, questioned your energy, or wondered why the old rules no longer work, this episode offers science, reassurance, and a completely new way to understand what your brain is doing and why. By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of menopause, concrete tools to support your brain, and relief in knowing that you’re not broken, you’re rewiring.

Divorce is already disorienting. But when you’re dealing with a narcissist, the rules change and most people don’t realize that until they’re already in it. In this episode, Tamsen is joined by Sue Moss, a leading NYC divorce attorney, to talk about what actually happens when control, manipulation, and power dynamics show up in a divorce and what women need to understand before things escalate. They discuss: - The early red flags of a controlling or narcissistic partner - Why so many women feel blindsided when divorce turns adversarial - What prenups really protect and when they matter most - How power, money, and fear show up in divorce negotiations - The biggest legal mistakes women make when emotions are running high - How custody decisions actually get made (and what courts care about) - What women should be thinking about long before they ever file This conversation is eye-opening, especially if you’re questioning your marriage, supporting a friend through divorce, or trying to understand your options before things escalate.
