I mean, you know, so often I can think about the times in my life where I've been the thinnest.

I've felt the worst.

I have felt the worst.

I feel like the more we're focused on the wrong things, the more insecure we feel.

You look at the data, it's like 91% of girls and women literally opt out of meaningful activities in their life when they're worried about how they look or they don't like how they look.

And I just feel like we've bought into diet culture in the wrong way for so long.

I love that you talk about how critical it is to focus on being strong over skinny and how it changes all parts of your physical and your emotional balance.

and mental health and your joy.

So is that what you focus on now in your life personally?

I love seeing you on Instagram with your weighted vest doing all your content.

I want to thank you for the force for women, the force for health, the force for awareness that you are into the world.

I want everyone to check out

and get their copy of the new menopause, your book.

And I wanna just announce it to the world.

You're hearing it first here that your upcoming book, your upcoming book, the new perimenopause is on its way, which I'm really, really excited about.

In closing, what final words of wisdom, what words of wisdom do you have for someone listening right now who may be having symptoms on her journey to figuring out, oh, wow, am I in perimenopause, menopause?

What should she know that maybe we haven't covered?

There's so many incredible resources that you share.

A lot of them are free.

We're going to link to all of them in the show notes.
