Abbey Sharp, RD, is an expert in women’s nutrition. In this episode, she sits down with Tamsen Fadal to discuss why so many women feel stuck in the restriction-diet cycle and shares science-backed strategies to break free from constant hunger, food fixation, and the guilt that comes with it.

Abbey outlines her sustainable, evidence-based approach to eating that supports energy, metabolism, and long-term health. She explains which foods help stabilize blood sugar, preserve muscle, and support metabolic health during hormonal shifts.

Abbey and Tamsen unpack:

In today’s episode of The Tamsen Show, Joanna Strober (CEO and co-founder of Midi Health) sits down with Tamsen Fadal to discuss the habits, mindset shifts, and resilience you need to build the unstoppable confidence to go after what you want. 

The lesson Joanna shares in this episode is harsh but true: it doesn’t matter how accomplished you are, confidence is something we all want and need more of. 

The good news is that confidence isn’t something you have or don’t have. Confidence is a byproduct of the opportunities you create for yourself, the people you surround yourself with, and the courage and curiosity you bring to every chapter of your life. Joanna’s life and career teaches us that confidence is strengthened by doing it before you feel ready, by taking the first step without worrying what the second step might look like.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- What it takes to build a billion-dollar company

- The daily habits of highly successful people

- What to do when you realize you’re on the wrong career path

- Mindset shifts to overcome career setbacks

Plus, Tamsen and Joanna discuss:

- The future of women’s health and telemedicine

- The gaps in (peri)menopause and midlife healthcare

- The changing conversation around weight management, obesity, and GLP-1’s

The most interesting thing about Joanna isn’t her accolades, but how many chapters she’s lived. With each milestone, she learned how to move through fear and rejection with more strength, how to pivot when doors close, and how to carve out new opportunities that are changing the world.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a framework to do the same.

In this deeply personal solo episode, Tamsen Fadal opens up about a question many women still struggle to answer out loud: Do you want children?

For much of her life, that question carried a weight she rarely talked about publicly. In this conversation, Tamsen shares the story of how she came to understand that motherhood wasn’t the path she wanted and why it took years to feel comfortable saying that clearly.

She reflects on the expectations many women grow up with and the pressure that can come when your life doesn’t follow that timeline. The episode explores the quiet moments of doubt, the comments people make without realizing their impact, and the internal work required to trust your own decisions.

Tamsen also shares 5 tools that help her navigate those conversations and stay grounded in her choice. These are the practical ways she learned to respond when people questioned her decision, projected their fears, or assumed she would eventually change her mind.

You’ll learn how to:

- Stop feeling responsible for explaining your personal decisions

- Recognize when someone else’s fears are being placed onto your life

- Speak about your choices with clarity and confidence

- Build relationships with people who respect your path

- Accept that some people may never fully understand your decision

Tamsen also speaks directly to women who may still be figuring it out. The space between certainty and uncertainty can feel isolating, especially when everyone around you seems to have strong opinions about what your life should look like.

This episode offers a different perspective. Your life does not have to follow a predetermined script. A meaningful, full life can take many forms, and the most important decisions about your future belong to you.

If this conversation resonates with you, consider sharing it with someone who may need to hear it as well.
