  • 67: Stress vs. Trauma in Midlife with Dr. Aimie Apigian
    Dec 2 2025

    So many midlife women describe themselves as stressed, but what if what we’re calling “stress” is actually something deeper happening inside the body? In this powerful conversation, Heather sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, physician, speaker, and author of The Biology of Trauma, to unpack the difference between everyday stress and stored trauma that shows up as overwhelm, exhaustion, irritability, or feeling “stuck.”


    Together, they explore why midlife is often the moment unresolved patterns surface, how the nervous system drives our physical and emotional responses, and why pushing harder, at work, at home, or even in the gym, can actually reinforce a survival state.


    Dr. Aimie shares how to know the difference of recognizing tools for healing rather than triggers for dysregulation, and she offers the first steps to reset your system, build true resilience, and reconnect with the energy and clarity you’ve been missing.


    If you’ve been living in go-mode for so long it feels normal, this episode will help you understand your body, reclaim your power, and finally begin your reset.

    October is the sweet spot. The calm before the chaos.

    In this episode, Heather shares why fall is the most powerful time to refocus your health, rebuild consistency, and set yourself up to feel amazing when January 1st arrives.

You’ll walk away with practical reset actions, mindset tools, and a plan that helps you roll into the new year feeling strong, aligned, and unshakably grounded.

    • Why October is the real time to reset
    • How to build strength, fuel, and recovery into your week
    • Mindset and alignment practices that keep you consistent
    • A simple checklist to help you stay in control through the holidays

    Because you don’t need an overhaul on January 1st - you just need momentum now.

  • 65: Beyond the Scale: What Fit for TV Got Wrong About Weight Loss
    Nov 4 2025

    After watching Netflix’s new documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, Heather dives into one of the biggest misconceptions in health and fitness - that the number on the scale defines your success.

    In this eye-opening episode of The Badass Reset Club, Heather breaks down what the show got wrong about transformation and what real health looks like in midlife. She unpacks her RESET framework - Resilience, Energy, Strength, Empowerment, and Transformation to show why midlife women need to focus less on shrinking and more on building: building muscle, building energy, and building a body that supports them for decades to come.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why muscle is more important than the number on the scale
    • How building strength protects metabolism, bones, and longevity
    • Why energy, sleep, and stress management matter more than calories
    • The dangers of extreme weight loss revealed in Fit for TV
    • How to redefine transformation in perimenopause and beyond
    • If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your weight won’t budge or wondered why you’re doing all the “right” things but don’t feel stronger...this episode will completely shift how you measure progress.

    It’s time to stop letting the scale tell your story.

    It’s time to hit the RESET.

  • 62: Courage, Clarity, and Confidence with Kathleen Ferguson
    Sep 16 2025

    Many women in midlife are navigating reinvention; whether that’s stepping into new careers, launching businesses, adjusting to an empty nest, or redefining health and purpose. In this episode, I sit down with Kathleen Ferguson, a leader at Coach360, who shares her own story of transformation after profound loss and how she found the clarity and courage to start fresh.

    We dive into what it really takes to pivot in midlife: from rebuilding confidence and identity to creating flexible, meaningful work that supports both lifestyle and purpose. Kathleen offers practical strategies for women who feel the pull toward coaching, entrepreneurship, or leadership but wonder if it’s “too late.” Together, we unpack how to design a sustainable career, set boundaries that allow space for family and self-care, and leverage midlife wisdom as an advantage in business.

    If you’ve ever thought about starting over, chasing a new passion, or reinventing yourself in this season of life, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired, grounded, and ready to take your next bold step.
