The Elise Tzurkov Podcast

You don’t need another expert, another tip, or another deep dive—you may just need to start. In this episode, I share why so many women in perimenopause and menopause get stuck collecting information instead of taking action, and how a clear strategy can help quiet the noise and make progress feel possible. If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, this episode is your nudge to take the next step. What could change if you stopped researching and started today?

Can a man understand menopause—or is that the wrong question? In this episode, I unpack a viral debate about who gets to help women through perimenopause and menopause, and what matters most: lived experience, expertise, or the willingness to listen and learn. Beneath the question is a bigger conversation about healthcare double standards, being dismissed, and finding support that truly helps. What matters more to you when choosing someone to support you: shared experience or how well they listen?

The advice women hear about weight loss in midlife is missing the real problem - it is not just about food, it is about why you keep reaching for the chips, skipping the gym, and calling it "self-sabotage." In this episode I sit down with Coach France, one of the amazing coaches behind the scenes at FFWE, for a brutally honest conversation about the hidden patterns that keep high-functioning women stuck. France shares how her background in social work, counselling, and crisis interventionshaped the way she coaches women now, and why losing her mother to cancer made health, self-respect, and early intervention deeply personal. Together, they pull back the curtain on the mindset work that actually changes behavior -especially when life gets chaotic, your nervous system is fried, and willpower is nowhere to be found. 
 
If you have ever said, "I know what to do, I just can't make myself do it," this conversation will hit home. It is especially powerful for women in midlife who want better health, more confidence, and a way out of the cycle that keeps them starting over.
