There is no doubt in my mind that had I not made these changes in my 40’s, I’d be 20lbs heavier, have more belly fat, low in energy, moody & diabetic during my menopause journey. Before 35, I wanted the magic pill to fix me! I was doing A LOT of things right - but uncovered so much & that is what I am going to share with you so that you can make your menopause journey a pleasurable experience! I let go of willpower, deprivation & restriction as strategies to lose belly fat & learned amazing skills I will share with you in this podcast.

#212 Why We Get Defensive — and What to Do Instead

In this powerful episode of Menopause Made Easy with Tanya, I explore why defensiveness shows up — especially when it comes to changing our health habits. I share the story of two midlife women: one who shuts down when offered suggestions, and another who can recognize her own defensive reactions and choose curiosity instead.

You’ll learn:

Why defensiveness is a normal nervous system response
How to recognize your own defensiveness without judgment
What’s really underneath the “I already know this” response
How to use a simple pause practice to move from reactivity to curiosity

Whether you’ve ever caught yourself getting bristly at feedback — or you coach others through change — this episode will help you navigate these moments with more compassion, awareness, and confidence.
