| 10/13/26 |  Cumulative Grief: Why You Feel So Stuck | Are you emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, burned out, or struggling to feel like yourself? The problem may be unresolved grief or the emotional weight of multiple losses. This is cumulative grief and it may be affecting your life more than you realize.And it doesn't always come from losing someone you love.Grief can follow divorce, relationship breakdowns, career setbacks, financial hardship, health challenges, or the loss of a future you once imagined. When multiple losses accumulate, the emotional toll can leave even the strongest people feeling stuck, numb, unmotivated, and disconnected from themselves.In this powerful episode of Women Road Warriors, host Shelley Johnson speaks with Rosalind Price, a certified grief coach, transition strategist, and lifelong grief navigator who has spent 25 years working in corporate America. Rosalind explains why high achievers and resilient women often struggle to acknowledge their own grief, especially when they're accustomed to being strong for everyone else.Drawing from her personal experiences with devastating family losses, divorce, and the unexpected death of her former husband, Rosalind shares a refreshing perspective on emotional healing, resilience, and rebuilding your life after loss.You'll discover why grief isn't something you can simply push through, how unresolved losses can affect your identity, relationships, motivation, and productivity, and why creating a new normal doesn't mean returning to the person you used to be. It means growing in spite of it.In this episode, discover:What cumulative grief is and how multiple losses can quietly overwhelm you.Why grief can feel like burnout, emotional exhaustion, brain fog, or loss of motivation.Why successful women, leaders, and high achievers often struggle to admit they're grieving.How unresolved grief can influence your relationships, decision-making, and sense of identity.Why society's pressure to "move on" can make grief harder to navigate.The difference between grief awareness and what Rosalind calls grief intelligence.How to stop performing strength and begin recognizing what you actually need.Why self-compassion, healthy boundaries, and the right support matter during major life transitions.How Rosalind's Mind the Transitions® framework helps people build a new normal through awareness, compassionate tools, and sustainable action.Rosalind challenges the idea that grief is an enemy to defeat. Instead, she encourages people to understand their experiences, reclaim their personal authority, and find a meaningful way forward without rushing their recovery.Whether you're coping with the death of a loved one, divorce, career loss, major life changes, or years of accumulated emotional stress, this conversation offers a compassionate new perspective on grief recovery, emotional resilience, and personal transformation.You don't have to pretend you're okay to begin moving forward.

| 10/6/26 |  Is Your Brain Making You Gain Weight? | What if stubborn weight gain, constant cravings and “food noise” aren't simply a matter of willpower? What if your brain is driving more of your hunger, metabolism and eating behavior than you realize?Triple board-certified neurologist and obesity medicine specialist Dr. Sara Siavoshi joins Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro to reveal the connection between the brain, weight gain and weight loss, metabolism, GLP-1 medications, inflammation and healthy aging.Dr. Siavoshi is the Founder and CEO of DrBrainRx, a nationwide physician-led telehealth platform focused on metabolic health, brain health, longevity and preventive medicine. She also practices clinical neurology and serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Neurosciences at UC San Diego.In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Siavoshi explains why she considers GLP-1 medications “brain drugs,” how the hypothalamus regulates hunger and satiety, and how dopamine-driven reward pathways can contribute to food cravings and addictive behaviors.She breaks down the science behind Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, semaglutide and tirzepatide, including what may happen when people stop taking GLP-1 medications and why maintaining muscle through resistance training and adequate protein are so important during weight loss.Dr. Siavoshi explores the relationship between obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation and brain health, including why protecting the brain's blood vessels may matter for cognitive health as we age. She also explains how exercise increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which supports neurons, neural connections and the hippocampus. That’s the brain region critical to learning and memory.You'll also hear a fascinating discussion about genetics and obesity, fertility and metabolic health, “Ozempic babies,” vitamin D and the nervous system, neuroplasticity after neurological injury, and what science is discovering about GLP-1 medications and addictive behaviors.In this episode, discover:How your brain regulates hunger, fullness, cravings and “food noise”Why GLP-1 medications may affect far more than appetite and weightHow dopamine and the brain’s reward system can influence compulsive eatingWhy researchers are studying GLP-1s in connection with alcohol, nicotine and other addictive behaviorsWhy weight can return after stopping GLP-1 medicationsWhy muscle, protein and resistance training matter during weight lossWhat “skinny fat” means—and why appearance doesn’t always reveal metabolic healthHow obesity, insulin resistance and inflammation can affect the brain and its blood vesselsWhy exercise boosts BDNF, supporting memory, neuroplasticity and the hippocampusWhat metabolic health may have to do with fertility and “Ozempic babies”The differences between semaglutide, tirzepatide, Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and MounjaroWhy vitamin D matters to neurological healthIf you've ever wondered why one person seems able to ignore food while another battles cravings all day or why losing weight can feel like fighting your own body this conversation may change the way you think about weight forever.Healthy aging isn't only about living longer. It's about protecting your brain, preserving your muscle, improving your metabolic health and staying mentally and physically capable as you age.Listen to Women Road Warriors as Dr. Sara Siavoshi takes us inside the brain-body connection and separates medical science from the wellness hype.Learn more at www.drbrainrx.comLearn more about Women Road Warriors at www.womenroadwarriors.com#GLP1 #WeightLoss #FoodNoise #BrainHealth #HealthyAging #Ozempic #DrBrainRX #DrSaraSiavoshi #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors | 58m 07s | ||||||
| 9/29/26 |  Giving Sexual Abuse Survivors a Voice | Sexual abuse, sexual assault, and harassment can leave survivors feeling powerless, silenced, and afraid they won’t be believed. Attorney and survivor advocate Alreen Haeggquist knows that firsthand. She survived years of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse as a child and remained silent out of fear and shame. Today, she has turned that painful experience into a mission to help other survivors find their voices, stand up to their abusers, and pursue justice.For more than 20 years, Alreen has represented survivors of sexual assault, sexual harassment, workplace discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination. As founder and managing partner of Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, she has recovered millions of dollars for clients while taking on powerful corporations, institutions, and individuals. Her belief is unwavering: wealth, influence, and status should never put anyone above accountability.In this powerful conversation with Women Road Warriors hosts Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro, Alreen talks about why survivors often remain silent, why so many fear they won’t be believed, and how abuse can profoundly affect self-worth and a person’s ability to recognize abusive behavior later in life.She also explains the importance of documenting misconduct, understanding your legal options, and having someone in your corner when confronting an abuser, employer, or powerful institution. Alreen shares why healing from trauma is a journey and how finding your voice can be an important part of reclaiming your power.Beyond the courtroom, Alreen founded the HAE Fired Up Foundation to help survivors access resources for healing and empowerment. She is also the bestselling author of Fired Up: Fueling Triumph from Trauma, which chronicles her own journey and encourages other survivors to break the silence, find their voices, and move forward.In this episode:Why sexual abuse and harassment survivors often remain silentHow Alreen turned her own childhood trauma into a mission to advocate for othersWhy being heard and believed can be so important for survivorsHow Alreen helps survivors stand up to powerful people and institutionsSexual harassment, workplace discrimination, and survivor legal rightsSteps survivors can take to document misconduct and explore legal optionsHow trauma can affect self-worth and the ability to recognize abusive behaviorWhy finding your voice can be an important part of healingAlreen’s message is powerful: survivors deserve to be heard, believed, supported, and empowered to reclaim their voices.Learn more about Alreen Haeggquist: Alreen.comHAE Fired Up Foundation: FiredUpFoundation.orgGet Fired Up: Fueling Triumph from Trauma: Fired Up book informationHaeggquist & Eck, LLP: HAE LawLearn more about Women Road Warriors www.womenroadwarriors.com#SexualAbuseSurvivor #SexualAssaultSurvivor #SurvivorAdvocate #SexualHarassment #WorkplaceHarassment #WorkplaceDiscrimination #SurvivorSupport #TraumaHealing #HealingFromTrauma #BreakingTheSilence #FindingYourVoice #WomensEmpowerment #SurvivorRights #AlreenHaeggquist #WomenRoadWarriors | 51m 13s | ||||||

| 9/15/26 |  The Secret to Happiness & Inner Peace: Anattā | What if happiness and inner peace aren't things you have to chase—but something you uncover when you stop holding so tightly to who you think you're supposed to be?We live in a world that constantly tells us to achieve more, prove ourselves, defend our positions and define who we are. Yet all that striving can leave us anxious, disconnected and exhausted. There is another way.Award-winning author and alpinist Michael Schauch joins Women Road Warriors hosts Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro to explore Anattā, the ancient Buddhist concept of “non-self” at the heart of his book Anattā: Heart of Wisdom. It sounds mysterious, but its message is surprisingly practical: loosening our grip on the fears, wounds, identities and stories we carry can open the door to greater happiness, harmony, connection and inner peace. It happens when we loosen our attachment to the independent self and recognize how deeply interconnected we are with the world around us.Anattā isn't about losing yourself, surrendering your power or allowing other people to walk over you. It's about discovering the deeper person underneath the roles, expectations and emotional reactions that can quietly control your life.Michael explains why our attachment to an independent sense of self can intensify fear, dissatisfaction and an “us versus them” mentality. He also explores the Buddhist Four Immeasurables—loving kindness, compassion, joyful empathy and equanimity—and how they can help us build stronger connections and greater harmony.You'll also discover why inner peace does not mean keeping the peace at your own expense.Michael shares practical ways to begin: slow down, reconnect with nature, notice the stories running beneath your thoughts and emotions, and create enough stillness to hear what is happening inside you.One of his most powerful insights turns our usual pursuit of happiness upside down: happiness and inner peace aren't destinations. They emerge as we become more aligned with our true nature.Michael's path to this wisdom has taken him far beyond the meditation cushion. His extraordinary experiences include remote Himalayan expeditions, Alaskan ice walls, sacred places in Japan and the discovery of a Himalayan cave containing the ancient remains of 23 people. His connection with nature and a remarkable story passed down from his mother after her childhood in postwar Hong Kong helped shape his understanding of our connection to one another and the world around us.Discover Anattā and a different path toward happiness, inner peace, self-discovery, mindfulness, emotional balance and human connection with Michael Schauch on Women Road Warriors.In This Episode, Discover:What Anattā really means and why “non-self” is not about losing your identity, voice, power or boundariesWhy happiness and inner peace aren't destinations but can emerge when we become more aligned with our true natureHow the fears, wounds, identities and stories we hold onto can create suffering, dissatisfaction and disconnectionWhy recognizing our interconnection with other people and the world around us can create greater harmony and compassionHow to step out of an “us versus them” mindset and respond to conflict with greater clarity instead of reacting from fearThe Four Immeasurables—loving kindness, compassion, joyful empathy and equanimity—and how they strengthen human connectionWhy inner peace does not require women to surrender their voices or sacrifice healthy boundariesHow nature can help quiet the mind, reveal hidden thought patterns and reconnect us with ourselvesMichael's extraordinary discovery of 23 ancient human remains in a Himalayan cave and what it taught him about impermanence and the human experienceHow to recognize thoughts and emotions without allowing them to control you—like stepping out of a raging river and observing it from the bankPractical ways to create more stillness, mindfulness, emotional balance and peace in everyday lifeWhat might change if you stopped searching outside yourself for the happiness, wisdom and peace you already have the capacity to experience?About Michael SchauchMichael Schauch is an alpinist and award-winning author who lives to explore the depths of nature and the human spirit and share the beauty of connection he discovers along the way.His books have received accolades from authors including Ken Wilber, Bernadette McDonald, Sharon Salzberg, Stephen Cope and Wade Davis, as well as reviewers including Kirkus, BlueInk and Foreword. His work has appeared in Elephant Journal, Unity Magazine and Thrive Global, with notable mentions in Lion's Roar, the Vancouver Sun and the South China Morning Post.His new book is Anattā: Heart of Wisdom.Learn more about Michael Schauch and his work:www.michaelschauch.comDiscover more inspiring expert and celebrity conversations from Women Road Warriors:www.womenroadwarriors.comListen to Women Road Warriors wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible and YouTube.#WomenRoadWarriors #Anatta #InnerPeace #Happiness #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #BuddhistWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #MentalWellbeing #MichaelSchauch #WomenRoadWarriors #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro | 50m 16s | ||||||

| 8/4/26 |  Exhausted? Stop Fighting Your Body & Start Listening | You’re eating clean, exercising, meeting your responsibilities, and pushing through every demanding day, but you’re still exhausted.Here’s something every overwhelmed woman needs to hear: you may not need more discipline. You may need to stop fighting your body and start listening to what it is trying to tell you.In this eye-opening episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley M. Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro talk with Katie Hardie, a Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist, FDN Practitioner, and founder of My PEAK.Katie explains how constantly pushing through stress without adequate recovery can affect your energy, sleep, blood sugar, hormones, digestion, metabolism, mood, and overall performance. Even symptoms we have been taught to accept—nighttime waking, afternoon crashes, brain fog, stubborn midsection weight, bloating, and feeling unlike ourselves—may be signals that the body needs something different.Katie understands burnout personally. Years of working harder, overtraining, under-fueling, and ignoring her body’s warning signs eventually took a physical toll. Functional testing helped her connect the dots between her stress hormones, recovery, and a serious injury—and taught her why pushing through symptoms is not always a sign of strength.In this episode, discover:Why symptoms can be common without being normalWhat nighttime waking and afternoon energy crashes may be telling youHow emails, social media, caregiving, shift work, and constant demands can keep your body in fight-or-flight modeWhy chronic stress can disrupt cortisol, DHEA, sex hormones, digestion, thyroid function, blood sugar, and metabolismHow short “micro-recoveries” can help your nervous system reset—even during a demanding workdayWhy gut health and regular bowel movements provide important clues about your healthHow real food can support more sustainable energy than sugar, caffeine, and heavily processed convenience foodsWhy intermittent fasting may help one person but create additional stress for anotherThe difference between merely avoiding a disease diagnosis and identifying patterns before they become bigger problemsHow functional testing, personalized nutrition, movement, sleep, and nervous-system support can help you build a roadmap for better healthWomen are frequently taught to push harder, eat less, ignore exhaustion, and treat rest as something that must be earned. But there comes a point when more pressure produces less performance.If you have ever been told that you are “fine” while knowing you don’t feel like yourself, this conversation could change how you think about your symptoms. Your body may not need more punishment or discipline. It may need you to start listening.Connect with Katie Hardie and My PEAK:Website:MyPEAK365.comInstagram:@MyPEAK365Facebook:Hardie Peak PerformanceLinkedIn:Katie HardieExplore more empowering Women Road Warriors interviews at WomenRoadWarriors.com and discover podcasts created for women atWomensPowerNetwork.net.Please Follow Women Road Warriors on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform so you never miss an episode.#WomensHealth #FunctionalNutrition #HolisticHealth #HealthyLifestyle #WomensPodcast #MyPEAK365 #WomenRoadWarriors #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro #KatieHardie | 53m 27s | ||||||

| 6/30/26 |  Hijacked: A Hostage's Journey to Healing | What would you do if your commercial flight was hijacked by armed terrorists and you didn't know if you'd ever see your family again?In this gripping episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro welcome Mimi Nichter, award-winning anthropologist, professor emerita, and author of Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and Resilience.At just 20 years old, Mimi boarded what she believed would be a routine flight home from Israel in 1970. Instead, her plane was hijacked by armed militants from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and diverted to the Jordanian desert, where she endured nearly a month as a hostage in sweltering heat, surrounded by armed militants and the uncertainty of whether she would ever make it home alive. The hijacking of TWA Flight 741 became one of the defining acts of modern international terrorism and a pivotal moment in aviation history that changed air travel forever.But this conversation goes far beyond a remarkable survival story.Mimi reveals how the emotional wounds of terrorism lingered for decades, why she remained silent for more than 50 years, and what finally gave her the courage to confront her trauma and reclaim her voice. Together, Shelley, Kathy and Mimi explore identity under pressure, the psychology of survival, resilience after unimaginable adversity, and the long journey from fear to healing.Whether you're fascinated by history, inspired by stories of resilience, or seeking hope after life's most difficult challenges, this unforgettable conversation offers powerful lessons about courage, healing, and the resilience of the human spirit.In this episode:• Surviving one of history's most significant airplane hijackings• What it's really like to be held hostage• The psychology of fear, trauma, and resilience• Why trauma can remain silent for decades• Finding healing after unimaginable adversity• Choosing courage over fear• How one ordinary woman became part of history• The lasting effects of PTSD and emotional traumaGuest: Mimi NichterBook: Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and ResilienceIf this episode inspires you, please follow Women Road Warriors, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and share it with someone who believes in the power of resilience, hope and the strength of the human spirit.https://www.amazon.com/Hostage-Memoir-Terrorism-Trauma-Resilience/dp/1640126848https://www.miminichter.com/https://www.instagram.com/miminichter/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mimi-nichter-30673313/https://x.com/MimiNichterwww.womenroadwarriors.comwww.womenspowernetwork.net#hijacking #hostage #TWAFlight741 #terrorism #resilience #trauma #healing #PTSD #MimiNichter #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors | 52m 43s | ||||||
| 6/23/26 |  What Not to Do Before You Say "I Do" | Wedding Etiquette with Lizzie Post | Weddings are supposed to be joyful celebrations, but they can also be a minefield of expectations, family dynamics, social pressures, and etiquette dilemmas.Who pays for what?

| 6/9/26 |  The Greatest Risk Is Not Deciding: Michelle Huntington | What happens when you're told your dreams are impossible?When Michelle Huntington pursued aviation, she was told women shouldn't fly. One person even claimed women weren't physically suited for the cockpit.Michelle refused to accept someone else's limits.She went on to become one of fewer than 500 female airline captains worldwide, spending more than two decades making critical decisions at 35,000 feet where waiting for perfect information simply wasn't an option.Those experiences taught her a lesson that applies far beyond aviation:The greatest risk isn't being wrong.
