  • How To Harness the Power of Women's Intuition
    Nov 27 2025

    Midlife often brings symptoms and struggles we don’t talk enough about—fatigue, brain fog, emotional overwhelm, and a sense of being “off.” In this episode of Hello Hot Flash, host Stephanie Shaw speaks with Lori Lisai, a human design coach and midlife mentor, about how human design offers women a new lens for self-awareness and empowerment.

    Instead of pushing through or relying only on logic, Lori encourages women to listen to their intuition and use human design as a tool for making more authentic life and work choices. If you’ve ever wondered why traditional advice doesn’t feel right for you, this episode will help you see midlife as a powerful new beginning.

    What You’ll Learn:

    1. Why midlife symptoms like fatigue and brain fog may be connected to energy drains.
    2. How human design helps you reconnect with your intuition and make authentic decisions.
    3. Why viewing midlife transitions as opportunities, not endings, changes everything.
