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. Marie teaches women how to get clear on what they want by slowing down, simplifying, and learning to trust yourself again.

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.

In this conversation, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down the science behind protein, skeletal muscle, and metabolic health and shares an actionable playbook you can use to build strength, slow decline, and take control of your future.

In this episode, she explains exactly what to eat and how to train so that you can feel mentally and physically stronger at every stage of your life.

If you’ve ever wondered:

- How much protein do I really need?

- What are the best protein sources for muscle growth?

- Do I need supplements like collagen and creatine?

- Will lifting weights make me bulky?

- How much resistance training is enough?

- Do I need a gym to see results?

- Where do I even begin?

...then this is the episode for you. It’s one of the most practical, science-backed episodes we’ve had on protein, muscle growth, and longevity for women. After listening to this conversation, you’ll have the discernment you need to stop chasing trends and start building real, lasting strength.

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.

Bookmark this episode and share it with every woman who needs to hear: you are not alone, and you are allowed to choose yourself.
