The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy

What if the reason you don't trust yourself was engineered centuries ago — on purpose? In this episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with feminist theologian and author Meggan Watterson to uncover the deliberate suppression of women's inner authority and what reclaiming it looks like right now. Meggan draws on 30 years of scholarship — including the long-buried Gospel of Mary and the Acts of Paul and Thecla — to show that the most powerful women in early Christianity weren't lost to history by accident. They were erased because their message was too dangerous: that the greatest power doesn't...

The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy

Have you ever blamed menopause for your inability to focus — only to wonder if something bigger is going on? I know I did. For years I thought brain fog was just about hormones, but this conversation cracked that wide open for me. I sat down with Dr. Zelana Montminy, positive psychologist and author of Finding Focus, and what she shared genuinely stopped me in my tracks. Focus isn’t a character flaw. It’s a biological state. And most of us, especially women in midlife,  have been operating in chronic nervous system dysregulation for so long, we don’t even know what regulated feels...

If you’ve ever felt pressure to be the “good girl,” you’re not the only one. Dr. Mindy has heard from thousands of women who feel exhausted by the pressure to be agreeable, accommodating, and selfless. Many women were taught that being good meant putting everyone else first.

That’s why Dr. Mindy invited writer and cultural critic Elise Loehnen to join her for this conversation.

Big Wellness is booming and middle-aged women are the target.

In this solo episode of The Resetter Podcast, I break down why the wellness industry has exploded, why women in midlife are especially vulnerable to being sold quick fixes, and how to stop outsourcing your health to supplements, influencers, and viral advice.

After reading a New York Times article titled “Big Wellness Loves Middle-Aged Women,” I wanted to give you a framework for thinking critically about what you’re being sold, whether it’s a supplement, a biohack, or even a medication.

This episode is not about telling you what to buy or what to believe. It’s about teaching you how to think for yourself, how to prioritize lifestyle first, how to evaluate quality and integrity, why supplements should be cycled, and why no product is ever going to replace the fundamentals.

At the end of the day, your lifestyle saves you, not a 90-second reel.
