Summary

Feisty Media is proud to welcome Another Mother Runner to the Feisty Media family. Enjoy this bonus crossover AMR episode starring, Selene Yeager!

Calling all 40+ women: This is a must-listen episode! The guest is Selene Yeager, host of the popular menopause-focused podcast called Hit Play Not Pause. Selene is the longtime health and science journalist who co-authored ROAR and Next Level with Dr. Stacy Sims. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Tish Hamilton, Selene discusses:

why a long run can exacerbate night sweats;
the in’s and out’s of hormone therapy;
dietary ways to possibly mitigate menopausal symptoms;
realistic, actionable ways to strength train; and,
how to keep running through midlife.

Selene joins the show around 8:25, after Tish talks about her recent “super-secret marathon” and Sarah shares that a 26.2 isn’t going to be part of her 2026. (Psst: This episode kicks off a month of Feisty crossover episodes.)
