My Guest: Abby Chitty, a single mom with 5 kids between 15 and 24. She owns her own business as a realtor. We met on Instagram and I invited her to be a guest in this unique episode where we’re doing a coaching call and you get to listen over the fence. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:15] What does perimenopause look like for asymptomatic women over 50? [00:20:00] What changes do we need to make to our workout routine?
