About this listen

Terry's transformation from overworked marketing agency owner to wellness retreat founder offers a roadmap for women navigating the confusing terrain of perimenopause and midlife health. At 37, while juggling motherhood and an 18-hour workday, Terry found herself 80 pounds overweight and developing serious health complications—pre-diabetes, anxiety attacks mistaken for heart problems, and mysterious ovarian cysts. What she didn't realize until five years later was that these symptoms coincided with early perimenopause, a revelation that came only after she had fully entered menopause at 42.

The turning point arrived when a coach identified something surprising beneath Terry's physical symptoms: an undiagnosed eating disorder that had shaped her relationship with food throughout her life. This discovery launched a complete lifestyle overhaul focused not on restriction but on nourishment—eating more food with proper macronutrient timing, incorporating strength training, and addressing the emotional patterns driving her health challenges. To her surprise, her body "responded instantly" to these changes, demonstrating that midlife transformation doesn't require the punishing regimens often marketed to women.

Today, Terry's House of Rose in Tennessee's Smoky Mountains hosts intimate retreats limited to just ten women, creating the perfect environment for deep connections that continue long after participants return home. These "girl gangs," as Terry affectionately calls them, provide ongoing support through shared workout photos, recipe exchanges, and even planning future adventures together. Beyond the physical setting, Terry offers online coaching that combines nutritional guidance with customized strength training programs, challenging myths about weightlifting making women "bulky" and instead emphasizing functional strength that supports women through hormonal changes.

Whether you're just beginning to notice perimenopausal symptoms or well into your menopause journey, Terry's message resonates: midlife isn't the beginning of the end—it's simply the starting point for what could be your healthiest, most fulfilling years.
