Cast your Webby vote for The Tamsen Show here! Thank you for your support 🧡 So you've heard about testosterone. Maybe your doctor mentioned it, maybe you saw something on social media, maybe you just feel off and you're trying to figure out why. But no one has sat down and actually explained it to you. Until now. Tamsen has spent years interviewing the top doctors in the menopause space and has her own real experience navigating testosterone: the wrong turns, the things that finally worked, and everything she wishes someone had told her sooner. This episode is her way of making it simple. Whether you've been on estrogen and progesterone and still feel flat, you've lost motivation and drive and chalked it up to stress or getting older, or you've been handed an antidepressant when what you actually needed was a hormone conversation, this episode is for you. Because testosterone was never just a male hormone. And the fact that most of us were never told that says everything. You'll learn: - Why women actually have more testosterone in their bodies than estrogen and what happens when it drops - The difference between low libido and the flatness that touches everything: energy, motivation, muscle, mood - Why the standard blood test may completely miss low testosterone in women - The different delivery options, including the one Tamsen tried first that she wouldn't recommend - How to ask your doctor for the right test and what to say if they won't have the conversation This episode is part of the How to Menopause series, where Tamsen goes deeper on each chapter of her book right here on the podcast.

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.
