What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

Quality sleep is essential for you as a professional woman, if you want to thrive in your career and personal life. Adequate sleep not only rejuvenates the body but also plays a crucial role in cognitive function, decision-making, creativity, and emotional regulation. Research shows that insufficient sleep can impair attention, memory, and problem-solving skills, which can hinder job performance and productivity. Moreover, chronic sleep deprivation has been linked to an increased risk of developing various health issues, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health disorders. So, today we are discussing all of this and more.

#11 The Hidden Link Between Burnout and Your Health Habits Approx. Length: 30 minutes 16:47

3 days ago16:47

16:47

Today’s episode is a bold reframe—and a much-needed truth bomb. You’ve been taught that burnout is a mindset problem or a time management issue. But what if that’s wrong? What if burnout isn’t a failure of your willpower—but a misalignment with your biology? In this episode, I’m peeling back the layers of what burnout really is, why the “healthy” habits you’re told to follow may be working against you, and how to build energy in a way that supports the woman you actually are—not the one productivity culture says you should be. You’re not here to hustle harder. You’re here to lead from alignment. Let’s dive in. Main Concepts & Highlights: Burnout Isn’t Just Mental—It’s Metabolic Burnout is a biological traffic jam caused by chronic stress, hormone disruption, and misaligned habits. Your cortisol rhythm, blood sugar, and reproductive hormones are all impacted—creating fatigue that’s systemic, not just emotional. The Real Reason You’re Still Exhausted Most wellness routines weren’t built for women’s physiology. Wellness advice is often based on outdated, male-centric models that ignore our cyclical hormones, emotional labor, and lived experience. Systems Aren’t Broken—They Just Weren’t Built for You The systems you’re trying to thrive within (corporate, medical, wellness) were designed around productivity, not female physiology. You may not be able to change those systems tomorrow—but you can learn to adapt them around your biology. Sneaky Habits That Quietly Feed Burnout Skipping Meals in the Morning: Creates cortisol spikes and energy crashes. Too Much Screen Time Early or Late: Hijacks your nervous system before you even start your day. All-or-Nothing Movement: Inconsistent or extreme workouts confuse your hormones. Your body craves rhythm, not punishment. The BioAligned Leadership™ Approach Align your habits with your internal cues—not outside expectations. True leadership means respecting your body’s signals and designing your day around what actually energizes you. 3 Micro Reset Strategies You Can Start Today: Hydration Before Stimulation: Drink 8–12 oz of water with a pinch of sea salt before your coffee. Supports cellular energy and avoids the morning crash. 2-Minute Nervous System Break: Breathe, stretch, or splash your face mid-day. This cues your body that it’s safe to recover, improving clarity and stamina. Evening Tech Boundary: No screens 30–60 minutes before bed. Read, journal, or sit quietly to support deep sleep and hormone repair. Why This Matters: These aren’t just cute wellness tips. They’re biological interventions—small rituals that rewire how your energy is managed throughout the day. When your habits work with your body, not against it, you don’t just feel better. You lead better.

#10 What Your Bones Wish You Knew Sooner 1:04:52

10 days ago1:04:52

1:04:52

Most women don’t think about their bones—until something breaks. But what if bone loss isn’t just a consequence of aging, but a sign that your body has been whispering for help for years? In this episode, I’m joined by orthopedic doctor and osteoporosis specialist Dr. Doug Lucas, and together we’re flipping the conversation around bone health. We're not talking about fear-based messages or quick fixes. We’re digging into what’s really driving bone stress in high-performing women and why the typical “wait and see” approach to osteoporosis isn't serving us. This is more than a talk about calcium and collagen—it’s about the hidden relationship between your nervous system, hormones, stress levels, and skeletal strength. If you're in your 30s, 40s, or beyond and want to understand how to protect your bones before it’s urgent, this conversation is for you. You’ll walk away feeling empowered, informed, and ready to build your wellness routine from the bones up. IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS: The early, often missed signs that your bones may be under stress—even when labs and scans are “normal” How chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation affect bone density The surprising risks to bone health during perimenopause and the overlooked habits that make a difference in your 30s and 40s Why women need to rethink the way we approach calcium, collagen, and bone medications How to make empowered, bio-individual choices without falling into fear or fads What a true bone-first wellness routine could look like—and how to start building it now Links mentioned in this episode: Dr. Doug instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_douglucas/?hl=en Dr. Doug website: https://www.osteocollective.com/ Dr. Doug Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrDougLucas/ Dr. Doug podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4pmZDcfbnDzyMWzw2Ca6jA Dr. Doug YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwdGGy-YA3p28mYbfh19xqA Dr. Doug Books: Amazon link Amazon link Send me a DM on the gram www.instagram.com/michelebroadnp Click here to subscribe in iTunes!

#8 Master Daily Habits with Habit Stacking Magic 24:18

4 weeks ago24:18

24:18

When you are looking to build new habits or incorporate new habits into your routine, the primary challenge is sticking to the new habits. If you have been struggling with this, what you might be missing in your strategy is habit stacking. With habit stacking, you take existing habits in your routine, and simply add to them. This creates a stack or chain of habits that you do one after another. The existing habit becomes a “cue” or a trigger reminding you that you need to do the next habit next. It works great! Today I am talking about habit stacking and how it can be helpful in your health and business/career life. First You Need To Understanding What Habit Stacking Is All About Then You Need To Understand What Are The Benefits To doing It Then How to Implement Them And Then I Give You Tips On How To Be Successful With It Links mention in this episode: www.instagram.com/michelebroadnp Well Women Rx Membership Waitlist Send me a DM on the gram www.instagram.com/michelebroadnp Click here to subscribe in iTunes!

#3 Top Mistakes in Business & Health for Women 30:56

9 weeks ago30:56

30:56

I used to think success was a simple formula: work harder, push through, and eventually, everything would fall into place. So, I did just that—I poured my heart, energy, and every spare second into my work, convinced that sheer effort would be enough to get me where I wanted to go. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. It took me way too long to realize that working harder isn’t the same as working smarter—and that success isn’t about burning yourself out just to prove your worth. If you’ve ever been fed bad business advice (and let’s be honest, who hasn’t?) I've got some truth bombs for you in today’s episode. And then there’s the bad health advice—something I’ve not only experienced myself but have seen countless women fall victim to over the years. Women being told ‘Just eat less and move more’ when their hormones are out of balance. Women who feel exhausted, foggy, and burned out being told ‘That’s just normal—you’re a woman.’ Women being shamed for needing rest, for fueling their bodies with carbs, or for prioritizing their own well-being. I know I’m not alone in this. I’ve heard from so many women—entrepreneurs, career-driven professionals, moms, caretakers—who have taken bad advice at some point, only to end up exhausted, frustrated, and wondering why they’re stuck. So today, I’m setting the record straight. I’m going to break down some of the worst business and health advice women get—and more importantly, what to do instead. Because the truth is, you don’t have to burn yourself out to succeed, and you don’t have to suffer just because ‘you’re a woman Links mention in this episode: Well Women Rx Membership Waitlist Send me a DM on the gram www.instagram.com/michelebroadnp Click here to subscribe in iTunes!
