Satori brings her unparalleled experience as a performer and community architect to a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of the unspoken chapters in women's lives.

Satori explains her mission to create a resource she never had, offering raw honesty about the challenges of midlife in order to forge connection and understanding.

  • Ep. 202 - The Invisible Shield: Quantum Energy & Navigating Toxicity with Todd Shipman
    Jan 20 2026
    In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Fiona Lovely is joined by wellness advocate Todd Shipman to demystify the complex world of quantum energy. This episode shifts the focus from the typical perimenopause symptom checklist to explore a pervasive but often overlooked source of modern stress: electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs). Todd breaks down this intricate subject in an accessible way, explaining that quantum energy is the neutralizing, subatomic force behind all matter. Their discussion provides a compelling education on how daily exposure to EMFs from devices like cell phones, WiFi, and 5G towers can create a "toxic soup" for our biology. Todd shares revealing data on how this exposure can lead to blood changes, overstimulated brains causing anxiety, and disrupted circadian rhythms—all of which can profoundly amplify common perimenopausal symptoms such as sleep disruption, mood swings, and nervous system dysregulation. The conversation then turns to a transformative solution: the potential of harmonizing technologies. Todd details how creating a field of coherent quantum energy around us can act like a protective bubble, neutralizing these disruptive frequencies and allowing the body to return to its natural, parasympathetic state. He shares compelling observations on how this support may improve deep sleep, reduce inflammatory responses to allergens, and help the body manage the cumulative stress load that so many women face. This episode is an invitation to look beyond the obvious and consider the subtle energetic environment as a key piece of the holistic health puzzle.

  • Ep. 201 - Divine Wealth with Francesca Rea
    Jan 13 2026
    In this episode of the Not Your Mother's Menopause Podcast, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back for another groundbreaking chat, her gal pal and revolutionary wealth advisor, Francesca Rea CFP. For any woman who has ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or secretly intimidated by her finances, this conversation offers a powerful and compassionate new lens on building genuine wealth. Francesca unfolds her own evolution from financial uncertainty to becoming a leading advisor and author, illustrating how her breakthrough came not from relentless striving, but from a fundamental shift in perspective. She dismantles the silence surrounding money, showing that our most stubborn financial hurdles are frequently built on outdated narratives, not unchangeable facts. This dialogue explores the core components of true abundance—mindset, literacy, and strategy—and how they work together to forge unshakeable confidence and tangible net worth. Together, Fiona and Francesca illuminate a more holistic path to prosperity. They delve into: The Stories We Inherit: How unexamined beliefs about money, absorbed over a lifetime, can dictate your financial landscape, and the first steps to reclaiming that narrative. The Paradox of Slow: Why Francesca's conscious choice to de-celerate, focus, and shed external expectations resulted in her income multiplying, challenging the myth that more effort always equals more gain. Energy and Architecture: The essential balance between the receptive, creative flow of feminine energy and the supportive, structural framework of masculine planning—and how to cultivate both within your financial practice. From Passenger to Pilot: How to transition from feeling managed by your money to actively commanding it, transforming financial planning from a chore into a profound act of self-advocacy and freedom. At its heart, this discussion provides a relatable, step-by-step journey from financial uncertainty to empowered ownership. Francesca details the philosophy behind her new book, Divine Wealth, and its practical framework, emphasizing the transformative roles of clarity, purpose, and celebration. Whether you're rebuilding, expanding, or just beginning, this episode is a vital companion for any woman ready to design a prosperous life defined by her own values and vision.
