“I really fought against this identity of being a patient - being someone who's just expected to wither away and to rely on doctors”.   When Kim Rahir was hit with a life-altering diagnosis, she knew she needed to take control. After a terrifying episode of paralysis, she learned that she had Multiple Sclerosis - and her life changed dramatically. But, facing frightening changes in her body, and lifelong drug treatments,  Kim’s instinct was to push back on what her doctors were telling her.  With a burning drive to be able to rely on her body again, Kim decided to get phenomenally strong; and the stronger she got, the more her symptoms declined, until one day she was officially in remission. The transformation was so extraordinary that Kim decided to leave her career in journalism to become a health coach specializing in aging women.   In this episode, Kim takes us through her devastating diagnosis, and her discovery that physical decline isn't something we have to accept, even when we're told it's out of our hands. It's a story about the profound impact of building muscle, getting stronger, and taking control…but never taking anything for granted.  About Kim I help middle aged family women lose belly fat, gain mobility, vitality and longevity - sustainably. If you've been on more diets than you care to remember, this is your wake-up call. You can actually get lean and strong without dieting...Helping you build and implement that system for you is my mission.

“You can't think your way out of a body problem…You have to address what's happening in the body and the brain before you can actually take those steps forward”. Deanna DeBara knows all about feeling “stuck”.  And, if you're a human navigating life right now, you probably do too. Being stuck is that odd sense of not wanting to stay where you are, but not being able to – or knowing how to – move forward. It’s something that many of us think about as being an individual feeling, but Deanna wants us to know that it’s actually a foundational human experience. After experiencing stuckness at many points in her life, Deanna learned that being stuck isn't just an emotional state. It actually has physiological connections, and there's much more to it than a lack of motivation. So she decided it was time to start a bigger conversation about what being stuck is actually about. And that's when she launched her fascinating podcast, Season of Stuck. In this episode of The Breakout, Deanna helps us dive into what being stuck really means, and what you can do about it About Deanna deBara Deanna is a writer and the host of Season of Stuck.

“While I was in the hospital…people started sending flowers and the biggest bouquet of flowers was from my work. And that is a metaphor for how my life was going”. The week before she turned 50, Erin Keating ended up in the hospital, and nearly died from COVID. That’s when a lot of things in her life became crystal clear.  At the time, Erin was the picture of success – but she was also telling herself a lot of lies. It took a dire illness and a mid-life reckoning to launch a complete life reinvention. And she noticed something along the way. That having it all as a woman is a trap, and there aren't enough places where women can talk about that.   Fast forward to today, and Erin has started her own media company that makes content for women over 40.  She also hosts Hotter than Ever, a podcast that digs into the unconscious rules those women are confronting...and breaking. Settle in for our Valentines’ Day episode. It’s a love letter to anyone trying to find themselves after a long separation. About Erin Keating Erin Keating is an award-winning television development and production executive. With her eyes on the wider content landscape, Erin created Hotter Than Ever to produce media that reflects the authentic, messy, sexy, funny and inspiring stories of women over forty.
