You know those moments when your body says, “enough,” but your ambition says, “keep going”? Today’s guest, Doralice Allen, knows that crossroads all too well. As a former corporate leader managing a 25-person team, she was powering through brain fog, sleepless nights, and relentless hot flashes—until she realized that pushing harder wasn’t strength, it was survival. That wake-up call led Doralice to rebuild her health from the inside out and transform her pain into purpose. Now a certified menopause and life coach, she’s the founder of Pause Evolution, helping high-achieving women 40 and beyond reclaim their clarity, energy, and confidence — without sacrificing their success.

In this conversation, Doralice shares how understanding menopause symptoms like night sweats, anxiety, and brain fog can actually become a leadership advantage. She reveals her five-step Sleep & Focus Checklist, a simple yet powerful tool for restoring rest, balance, and mental sharpness — and shows us what’s possible when women stop pushing through the pause and start leading from it. Let’s “Call IT In” Call in: Leadership Doesn't Pause During Menopause!

Today’s guest, Jill Schuler, spent a combined twenty years first as a successful CPA and then an attorney, checking every achievement box society handed her. Everything changed after the heartbreaking loss of her father. What followed was a profound spiritual awakening that led her far beyond the boardroom and into the world of inner guidance, intuitive wisdom, and encounters with spirit guides.

Jill now supports high-achieving professionals who feel something missing beneath their success. She helps them reconnect with purpose, trust the guidance within, and open to the possibility of a life led by the soul rather than the résumé. She even shares a powerful story of a mother who found peace for her son through one of Jill’s guided meditations. You will love Jill’s authenticity and emotional story of transformation as we call in this episode of “Call IT in With Dar”.

In this episode we’re talking with Carla Wainwright, a Midlife Alchemist, Coach, and Sexual Awakening Facilitator with over two decades in the healing arts. She bridges the science of the body with the sacredness of life experience—helping women 40 and beyond reclaim vitality, balance hormones, and reconnect with pleasure and power.

In this episode, we explore what she calls Sacred Metabolism—how our bodies process stress, emotion, and pleasure—and why so many of us unknowingly choose stress over joy. Carla’s work invites us to shift back into energy, ease, and the deep aliveness that midlife is meant to hold.

Welcome back to the show, friends. Today we’re diving into one of the most fascinating and rapidly growing areas in the healing world — plant-based medicine — and how it’s helping women (and men) reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and purpose in profound ways.

My guest, Kayse Gehret, is one of the most highly regarded and sought-after guides for what she calls “The Medicine of the Moment” — the practice of Microdosing Earth Medicine. Kayse founded Microdosing for Healing in 2020, building on a three-decade career in the healing arts. Since then, her platform, program, and global community have supported more than 1,200 individuals from all walks of life in using microdosing as a tool for emotional healing, creativity, and spiritual connection. She’s also the host of the Microdosing for Healing Podcast and leads the Microdosing Professional Program, a mentorship and mastermind for wellness professionals who want to integrate this sacred practice into their work.

In our conversation, we’ll explore how microdosing differs from traditional plant medicine ceremonies, what’s happening in the brain and body during this subtle practice, and how this movement is changing the landscape of modern healing. So settle in, open your heart, and get ready to explore the gentle — yet powerful — world of microdosing.

Today we’re continuing with the Rising With Vitality After 55 mini-series, a special set of short conversations created just for women who are ready to feel younger, stronger, and more alive than they ever imagined.

Here, we’re not buying into the story that our best years are behind us. Instead, we’re reclaiming our energy, awakening our gifts, and rising into a season of life that is powerful, joyful, and full of possibility.

So if you’ve been feeling the tug for “something more,” if you’re ready to call back your vitality and step into your brightest years—then you are in the right place.

In today’s conversation…The Gifts of the Wise Woman I want to celebrate something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: the gifts that come alive in us as we grow older.

For too long, society has told women that aging means losing value. But the truth? As we move into our fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond, we actually step into some of our most powerful gifts.

Think about it—you’ve walked through heartbreak, loss, joy, reinvention, and countless everyday battles. And because of that, you carry wisdom that can’t be taught in any classroom or found in any book. Your gifts—your empathy, your intuition, your vision, your resilience—are medicine for this world. So call in the wise woman and “Call IT in With Dar!”

Welcome to Reclaiming Your Body’s Wisdom episode 3 of our Rising with Vitality mini series. Today, I want to talk about something that so many women struggle with—especially as we move into our fifties, sixties, and beyond. It’s that complicated relationship with our bodies. For years, maybe even decades, we’ve been taught to push, to punish, to criticize our bodies into being something different. Thinner. Younger. Stronger. More “acceptable.” And when the aches, the changes, the shifts of midlife show up, it can feel like our bodies have betrayed us.

But here’s the truth: your body has never been your enemy.

It has always been your wisest guide.

Every ache, every twinge of fatigue, every craving or restless night—it isn’t failure. It’s communication. Your body is speaking to you. The question is, are you listening? SO Call in the Wisdom of your Body. “Call IT in With Dar”!

Welcome into Calling Back Your Energy the 2nd episode in our Raising your Vitality mini series!

Today I want to talk about something I hear from women all the time: “I’m just so tired.” Maybe you’ve said it yourself. You wake up exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep. You push through the day on coffee, snacks, or sheer willpower. And by evening, you’re too drained to enjoy the things that once brought you joy.

Some people will tell you, “Well, that’s just part of getting older.” But let me tell you the truth: it’s not.

Fatigue, brain fog, that heavy sluggishness in your body—those are not signs of aging. They’re signs that your energy has been scattered, spent, and given away…and it’s time to call it back. This episode will give you practical tips to start calling your energy back today with “Call IT in With Dar”!
