The MPowered Life Podcast
You’re running your own business… and then menopause showed up. Suddenly everything that used to work doesn’t.
The exhaustion. The brain fog. The mood swings. The days you question your confidence, your capacity, and your direction.
Here’s what nobody tells you: your nervous system is your business plan. And when hormones shift, both your body and your business need a new strategy.
Hosted by Dr. Adrienne Stein, Naturopathic Doctor and Transformational Coach, The MPowered Life Podcast is where biology meets business. We’ll talk hormones, burnout, nervous system regulation, and the hidden ways menopause impacts your energy, clarity, and ability to lead.
Whether you’re just starting your own business or years in, if perimenopause or menopause is making entrepreneurship harder, this show is for you.
It’s not about trying harder. It’s about a smarter, hormone-aware approach.
