In this episode, we’re joined by Fiona Lake Waslander, Cofounder & CEO of Coral and a leading voice in women’s health. With a background in tech, entrepreneurship, and advocacy, she’s on a mission to close the gap in support for women navigating midlife health.
We dive into what women can actually expect during perimenopause and menopause, from hormonal shifts to changes in energy, weight, and overall well-being. We also talk about how younger women can prepare early, what’s really going on with weight gain in midlife, and the often-unspoken topic of sex drive, hormones, and testosterone.
This conversation is honest, informative, and long overdue—because understanding your body shouldn’t start when you’re already in the middle of the change.

🎙️ In This Episode:
• What to expect during perimenopause and menopause
• How younger women can prepare early

In this episode, we’re asking the question everyone has an opinion on but no one fully agrees about—what even is a “summer body” anymore… and do we still want one?
We get into the fine line between self-improvement and external pressure, and whether working on your body is empowering, performative… or a little bit of both. We also unpack the shift from body positivity to body neutrality, and whether that mindset actually feels healthier in real life.
Of course, we had to go there—are we all secretly lying when we say looks don’t matter? And are we allowed to have aesthetic goals without feeling guilty about it?
It’s honest, a little controversial, and full of the kind of thoughts you usually only say out loud to your closest friends.

🎙️ In This Episode:• “Summer body” culture—outdated or still relevant?• Self-improvement vs external pressure• Body positivity vs body neutrality• Do looks actually matter?• Having aesthetic goals without guilt

In this episode, we’re diving into the little things that make life feel slightly more expensive—but worth it. From what actually counts as a “little luxury” to the things we’ll defend spending money on forever, we’re unpacking the habits, splurges, and small upgrades that bring us joy.
We get into the generational differences—where one of us is all about quality, comfort, and practicality, and the other is here for convenience, vibes, and aesthetic. We also talk about the guilty pleasures we’re officially done feeling guilty about, the funniest purchases we somehow justify, and the one luxury that has become completely non-negotiable.
Because at this point… is it really a guilty pleasure, or just part of the lifestyle?

🎙️ In This Episode:• What counts as a “little luxury”• Generational differences in spending habits• Guilty pleasures we’re no longer apologizing for• The funniest things we justify spending money on• Our non-negotiable everyday luxuries

In this episode, we’re getting honest about beauty, aging, and the ever-changing standards we’re all trying to keep up with. From Botox debates to the idea of “aging gracefully,” we talk about where we draw the line—and why that line keeps moving.

We share some of our best and worst beauty decisions, the trends we’ve tried (and maybe regret), and the things we’re still curious enough to experiment with. It’s a mix of laughs, real opinions, and a reminder that beauty routines, like boundaries, are personal.

Because whether you’re team “age naturally” or team “a little tweak never hurt anybody,” we can all agree on one thing: everyone has an opinion.

🎙️ In This Episode:

• Our thoughts on modern beauty standards
• Aging gracefully… or redefining what that means
• Best and worst beauty decisions we’ve made
• Treatments and trends we’re curious to try next
