108. Bekki Roy - Friendship, Hormones & Finding Balance

Trigger Warning Topics: Perimenopause & menopause Women’s healthcare frustrations Medical gaslighting Hormonal health discussions Mental & emotional overwhelm Burnout & work stress Identity struggles / midlife reflections Empty nest emotions Brief discussion of breast cancer & medical screening Discussion of healthcare and insurance systems This week on _Radiant Resilience_, Tawny sits down with her best friend, fellow hairstylist, and book-loving soul sister Bekki Roy for a candid conversation about life in the messy middle. From perimenopause struggles and the frustrations of navigating women’s healthcare, to burnout, people pleasing, identity shifts, and redefining success, nothing is off limits. They dive into what it means to spend years taking care of everyone else, the emotional realities of building a career behind the chair, empty nesting, friendship, and the strange season of life where you start asking yourself, “Who am I outside of what I provide for other people?” Of course, no conversation between these two would be complete without a chaotic deep dive into fantasy books, unfinished series rage, audiobook recommendations, and the very serious emotional damage caused by cliffhangers. This episode feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on an honest conversation between lifelong friends trying to figure life out in real time.
