Menopause is a major life transition, and it often arrives at the same time as big financial ones: career shifts, healthcare costs, caregiving for aging parents, or rebuilding after loss.

Your body is changing. Your finances deserve the same attention.
This is a good moment to check in.

Are your healthcare costs factored into your plan?

Is your income keeping pace with what you actually need right now?

Clarity here isnโ€™t optional, itโ€™s part of taking care of yourself.

Whatโ€™s one way menopause has changed how you think about money?

Tabbin Almond shared something on the show that many people have never been told. ๐ŸŒฟ

A few weeks after her breast cancer treatment, her surgeon signed her off: โ€œYouโ€™re cancer-free.โ€ She asked, โ€œWhat do I need to do to stay cancer-free?โ€ The advice from the people who had treated her was to eat healthily and exercise. Alcohol was never mentioned.

She didnโ€™t know at that stage that alcohol is a known cause of breast cancer. It was only four years later, while doing a This Naked Mind course to get to the bottom of why she couldnโ€™t stop drinking on her own, that she began to piece it together.

Her honesty is a reminder to keep asking questions, even the ones we donโ€™t yet know to ask. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ’ฌ Is there a question you wish someone had encouraged you to ask about your health?

Why a retreat in Costa Rica, and why in March? ๐ŸŒด

First, Costa Rica is pura vida: an amazing, carefree living culture. I think a few of us in the United States could welcome that right about now.

Second, the weather. In New Jersey in March, itโ€™s sometimes 0 or maybe 10 or 15 degrees. In Costa Rica, itโ€™s 75 to 80. Thatโ€™s a pretty big reason.

And then thereโ€™s the El Boyero Festival, an annual celebration typically just for Ticas and locals. My dear friend Victoria, who has lived there 23 years, told us about it, and weโ€™re going to be part of it. It honors the heritage of the Costa Rican people bringing their coffee and crops from the fields to the marketplace, with colorful music, food, and an exclusive experience in a luxury mansion.

Join us. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ’ฌ Where would you rather be in March: the cold or Costa Rica?

Sound familiar?

Hereโ€™s the uncomfortable part: there is always another uncertainty waiting behind the one youโ€™re waiting on. So the waiting never ends. It just quietly costs you. The trip you keep not taking. The retirement decision youโ€™ve pushed back twice. The conversation you still havenโ€™t had.

What does another year of waiting cost you?

Prices change. Technology changes. The headlines never stop. Debra Morrison says we cannot create certainty by controlling the world, only by getting very clear about what we actually control. In this solo episode she talks about agency. What you allow into your mind. Who you let into your circle. And the money decisions women postpone while waiting to feel certain. Certainty is not something the world hands you. It is something you build.

Tricia Baxley shared something on the show that took tremendous courage. ๐ŸŒฟ

On February 21st, 2016, around 1:30 in the morning, there was a knock at her door. Four police officers stood there. Her older son was 19 at the time, and the normal reaction would have been to fear something had happened to him. But Tricia knew it wasnโ€™t her son. She knew, instinctively, it was her husband.

They came in and told her he had died by su***de.

Her willingness to tell this story honestly helps others feel less alone in theirs. Sharing it is an act of love. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ’ฌ If Triciaโ€™s story speaks to you, youโ€™re welcome to share, or simply sit with this one today.

Medicare Open Enrollment is open right now, and the clock runs from October 15 to December 7.

If youโ€™re already on Medicare, this is your window to review your plan for next year. Plans change every year: premiums, deductibles, and the list of covered drugs can all look different by January, even if you havenโ€™t changed a thing.

Take 30 minutes this week to:
โœ… Read your Annual Notice of Changes
โœ… Check that your medications are still covered
โœ… Compare your costs against other plans
โœ… Confirm your doctors are still in network

Any change you make goes into effect January 1. Not sure which plan fits? A licensed Medicare advisor or your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) can help you compare, free of charge.

You are not behind. You have until December 7.

Thank you.

I donโ€™t say it often enough, so Iโ€™m saying it plainly today.

Thank you to the women who show up here, ask the honest questions, and share the things that were hard to say out loud. Thank you for the comments that made someone else feel less alone. Thank you for trusting this community with your stories, your fears, and your wins, big and small.

You are the reason this space feels like what it is: a place where nobody has to figure it out by herself.

Iโ€™m grateful for every one of you.

๐Ÿ’› Whatโ€™s one thing that has helped you feel supported lately? Letโ€™s celebrate it together below.

She didnโ€™t figure it out alone. She found the right women.

Nobody tells you how much of financial confidence comes down to who youโ€™re sitting next to. The woman who asks the โ€œsillyโ€ question out loud. The one who says โ€œI was in that exact spot last year.โ€ The one who celebrates your small win like itโ€™s a big one.

You can read every book and watch every video. But something changes when youโ€™re surrounded by women who understand where you are and want you to get where youโ€™re going.

You were never meant to do this part by yourself.

What do you do when your adult children disagree with your choices about your money and their inheritance? Iโ€™ve seen this many times in my years of working with older adults. ๐ŸŒฟ

Children, whether adopted or birthed, often have very different attitudes and disciplines around money. Many parents want to treat every child equally, and thatโ€™s usually how the will is worded.

But Iโ€™ve helped families find a way to treat a spendthrift son differently than a daughter who is responsible with money. It ended up being a win-win for everyone.

The key is communication. I handled that conversation on behalf of the family as their advisor, so nobody was left guessing or blindsided.

Equal isnโ€™t always fair, and it doesnโ€™t have to be the only option. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

๐Ÿ’ฌ Have you thought about how your childrenโ€™s different money habits might affect your estate plan?
