(#022) Making Hormones Make Sense with Janel Anderson

There She Is

The menopause transition can feel overwhelming, confusing, and downright uncomfortable—it can knock us off balance in every way. What if we welcomed this change not as a crisis, but as a profound invitation to learn more about our body and find a deeper alignment with who we truly are? In this episode, Aimee is joined by Janel Anderson—a Certified Functional Medicine Nutritionist, Board Certified Nutritionist, and Doctor of Natural Medicine—who has a true gift for making hormones make sense. Together, they dive into the science and the soul of hormones in midlife, blending practical...

(#021) Taking Center Stage in Midlife - An Akashic Reading with Jane Sterken

There She Is

This week I invited Akashic reader Jane Sterken to join me for a heart-opening conversation—and a mini live reading. I’ve had two sessions with Jane over the past year, each one a catalyst for growth, confidence, and that unmistakable There She Is energy. Jane modernizes and reframes "Akashic Records" beautifully as the space of the soul—a loving field that reflects who you truly are and what you’re opening into. We talk about moving from grind to flow, releasing limiting beliefs, trusting desire, and why center stage might be the next right place to sit—quietly,...

(#020) Why Women Need to Nourish Their Egos

There She Is

Welcome back to There She Is! After a summer of family milestones, travel, and soaking in presence, I’m kicking off a brand-new FALL season with a solo episode. In this quickie I revisit a bold comment I made in my last episode—one that made me pause when I re-listened. I wondered - Was that too much? Too confident? Too bold? Here’s my conclusion - women are often conditioned to believe that they are “a lot” or “too much”. But in midlife, I’m learning to see it differently. It's about knowing, celebrating, and owning your worth. In this episode, I share: ✨ Why I...

(#019) Midlife Marriage & Keeping the Spark Alive with Melissa Murphy

There She Is

In this candid continuation of my conversation with Melissa Murphy, we drop the filters and let you in on the kind of chat we’d have over coffee or on a hike. We talk about marriage in midlife—how it shifts as kids grow up, the importance of seeing each other again with fresh eyes, and the work (and fun) it takes to keep the connection alive after decades together. Melissa opens up about her own 24-year marriage, the role therapy has played, and what it means to grow together rather than apart. We also wander into the real, behind-the-scenes stuff—my work as a sex and relationship coach,...

(#018) Living for Ourselves - with Melissa Murphy

There She Is

What happens when we begin to choose what lights us up — whether it fits into our identity as a mom or not? We reconnect with the woman we truly are. In this heartfelt conversation, Aimee sits down with midlife powerhouse Melissa Murphy — certified nutrition and fitness coach, mom of three, and host of the Now What? podcast — to explore what it means to start living for ourselves after years of living for (and through) our children. Together, they talk about the identity shift that happens as motherhood evolves, the courage it takes to say yes to something new, and how Melissa found her...

(#017) The Power of Presence - Intimacy After Alcohol

There She Is

Part 2 of 2 in the “Alcohol & Midlife” mini-series In Part 2 of my conversation with coach and functional nutritionist Teri Patterson, we explore how our relationship with alcohol impacts our relationships with others—especially when it comes to intimacy, sex, and connection. This is a tender, honest conversation about what happens when we stop numbing and start showing up—fully present, in our bodies, and able to feel again. Together, we explore: How alcohol can create emotional distance, even in close relationships The vulnerability and beauty of sober sex—and why it...

(#016) The Courage to Question - What Alcohol Is (and Isn't) Doing for You

There She Is

In Part 1 of this honest and empowering two-part series, I sit down with my dear friend and coach Teri Patterson to explore how so many women in midlife are courageously re-evaluating their relationship with alcohol. I also share my own multi-year journey—from daily drinking to (mostly) alcohol-free living—and why choosing this path has been one of the most empowering decisions I’ve made. Together, we unpack: Why it’s time to move beyond the question of “problem drinking” The fear, identity shifts, and deep curiosity that often spark change How simply getting curious is...

(#015) Finding Your Feet in the Fog - How to Stay Grounded in Times of Uncertainty

There She Is

In this solo “Quickie with Aimee,” I’m sharing a gentle reminder—for both of us—on how to find calm in the midst of midlife transitions. My twins just graduated high school, the future feels uncertain, and summer’s lack of structure has me swimming in emotions. I’ll be honest: I forgot my tools for a minute and I was feeling a bit lost in the fog. This episode is my way of coming back to center—and inviting you to do the same. If you’re feeling foggy, untethered, or overwhelmed, here are some simple, grounding practices to help you feel a little more steady in the unknown....

(#014) Chosen, Bound & Held: What I Learned from My First BDSM Scene (with Daisy Fulgham)

There She Is

In this powerful final episode of our three-part BDSM series, I share a deeply personal experience: the scene I participated in during a professional training—a scene that pushed my edges, met a core childhood wound, and reminded me of the power of safe, consensual play. Alongside my sweet guest and fellow Somatica-trained coach, Daisy Fulgham, we unpack what made this scene so impactful—from the emotional build-up and the intentional tools used, to the aftercare that allowed deep integration. We talk about the healing power of being witnessed, of being chosen, and of not having to be...

(#013) BDSM: The Powerful Potential for Healing with Daisy Fulgham

There She Is

In this second episode of our 3-part series on BDSM, Daisy and I go deeper into the heart of this often-misunderstood world—exploring its powerful potential for healing, agency, and joyful discovery. We share personal reflections from a recent BDSM training for coaches, including what it felt like to learn and practice giving and receiving impact (like hair pulling, spanking, and even slapping), and how the emphasis on consent and choice created a surprisingly playful and freeing experience. Whether you’re curious about BDSM or simply drawn to the idea of exploring your edges in a safe and...

More Episodes

Alongside my sweet guest and fellow Somatica-trained coach, Daisy Fulgham, we unpack what made this scene so impactful—from the emotional build-up and the intentional tools used, to the aftercare that allowed deep integration. We talk about the healing power of being witnessed, of being chosen, and of not having to be perfect in order to be loved.

This is a tender, grounded, and embodied conversation about:

· The importance of boundaries, limits, and safe words

· What “aftercare” really is and why it matters—both inside and outside the bedroom

· How BDSM can support deep psychological healing

· The beauty of being nurtured and celebrated in your vulnerability

· Why “sprinkling” BDSM into your sex life doesn’t require a dungeon (unless you want one 😉)

This is an invitation to stay curious and compassionate—with yourself and with others. My story may not be your story, but I hope it expands your understanding of what’s possible when we allow ourselves to be fully seen and fully held.

An extra special thank you to Daisy Fulgham for her generous presence and insight, and to Shelby Devlin for her exquisite facilitation, integrity, and just for being the beautifully authentic and courageous human she is. Learn more about Shelby [link if available].
