Testosterone 101: Everything You Need to Know in 20 Minutes
Cast your Webby vote for The Tamsen Show here! Thank you for your support 🧡 So you've heard about testosterone. Maybe your doctor mentioned it, maybe you saw something on social media, maybe you just feel off and you're trying to figure out why. But no one has sat down and actually explained it to you. Until now. Tamsen has spent years interviewing the top doctors in the menopause space and has her own real experience navigating testosterone: the wrong turns, the things that finally worked, and everything she wishes someone had told her sooner. This episode is her way of making it simple. Whether you've been on estrogen and progesterone and still feel flat, you've lost motivation and drive and chalked it up to stress or getting older, or you've been handed an antidepressant when what you actually needed was a hormone conversation, this episode is for you. Because testosterone was never just a male hormone. And the fact that most of us were never told that says everything. You'll learn: - Why women actually have more testosterone in their bodies than estrogen and what happens when it drops - The difference between low libido and the flatness that touches everything: energy, motivation, muscle, mood - Why the standard blood test may completely miss low testosterone in women - The different delivery options, including the one Tamsen tried first that she wouldn't recommend - How to ask your doctor for the right test and what to say if they won't have the conversation This episode is part of the How to Menopause series, where Tamsen goes deeper on each chapter of her book right here on the podcast. Twenty minutes. Everything you need to know.

Thinking About a Career Change? Start Here
Cast your Webby vote for The Tamsen Show ⁠here⁠! Thank you for your support 🧡 Tamsen left a 30-year career as a television news anchor at 52 without a plan that looked like a plan to anyone who knew her. This is the episode where she tells you exactly what that felt like, what kept her stuck, and what finally made her go. Whether you're burned out and not sure if that's the whole story, quietly building something on the side and wondering if you should take the leap, or staying somewhere that no longer fits because at least you know who you are there, this conversation meets you where you are. Because most career advice wasn't made for women at this stage of life. And the voice that says you should have figured this out earlier isn't telling you the truth. You'll learn how to: - Tell the difference between burnout and boredom, and why it changes everything - Answer the identity question that keeps most women stuck longer than anything else - Find the skills that travel with you no matter what the next chapter looks like - Build a runway before you leap, and what that actually means in practice - Use the overlap period to get clarity, not just hustle This episode is also for the woman who isn't quite ready to leave yet but knows something is shifting. You don't have to have a plan. You just have to start listening. Career transitions at midlife are one of the most common things women navigate alone. If this conversation helped you feel less alone in it, we'd love to hear from you.
