Women Road Warriors

You’re eating clean, exercising, meeting your responsibilities, and pushing through every demanding day, but you’re still exhausted.
Here’s something every overwhelmed woman needs to hear: you may not need more discipline. You may need to stop fighting your body and start listening to what it is trying to tell you.
In this eye-opening episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley M. Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro talk with Katie Hardie, a Board-Certified Holistic Nutritionist, FDN Practitioner, and founder of My PEAK.
Katie explains how constantly pushing through stress without adequate recovery can affect your energy, sleep, blood sugar, hormones, digestion, metabolism, mood, and overall performance. Even symptoms we have been taught to accept—nighttime waking, afternoon crashes, brain fog, stubborn midsection weight, bloating, and feeling unlike ourselves—may be signals that the body needs something different.
Katie understands burnout personally. Years of working harder, overtraining, under-fueling, and ignoring her body’s warning signs eventually took a physical toll. Functional testing helped her connect the dots between her stress hormones, recovery, and a serious injury—and taught her why pushing through symptoms is not always a sign of strength.
In this episode, discover:
Why symptoms can be common without being normal
What nighttime waking and afternoon energy crashes may be telling you
How emails, social media, caregiving, shift work, and constant demands can keep your body in fight-or-flight mode
Why chronic stress can disrupt cortisol, DHEA, sex hormones, digestion, thyroid function, blood sugar, and metabolism
How short “micro-recoveries” can help your nervous system reset—even during a demanding workday
Why gut health and regular bowel movements provide important clues about your health
How real food can support more sustainable energy than sugar, caffeine, and heavily processed convenience foods
Why intermittent fasting may help one person but create additional stress for another
The difference between merely avoiding a disease diagnosis and identifying patterns before they become bigger problems
How functional testing, personalized nutrition, movement, sleep, and nervous-system support can help you build a roadmap for better health

Women are frequently taught to push harder, eat less, ignore exhaustion, and treat rest as something that must be earned. But there comes a point when more pressure produces less performance.
If you have ever been told that you are “fine” while knowing you don’t feel like yourself, this conversation could change how you think about your symptoms. Your body may not need more punishment or discipline. It may need you to start listening.

Wyoming is famous as the Cowboy State, but women have shaped its laws, land, culture, and communities from the beginning. In 1869, Wyoming Territory became the first U.S. territory to grant women the right to vote, a historic breakthrough that helped earn it another proud name: the Equality State.
Fifth-generation Wyomingite, photographer, and storyteller Lindsay Linton Buk joins Women Road Warriors hosts Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro to reveal the remarkable women behind Wyoming’s history and the modern American West.
Lindsay’s new book, Women Shaping the West: Stories from Wyoming, grew out of her acclaimed podcast and museum exhibition. After training in New York City and returning home, Lindsay traveled more than 15,000 miles across Wyoming, shot 600 rolls of film, and recorded over 3,000 minutes of interviews.
Her visually stunning collection profiles more than 25 extraordinary women from an Eastern Shoshone language preservationist and a backcountry pilot to an abstract painter and a Wyoming Supreme Court justice. Their lives challenge the enduring myth that rugged men built the West alone.
In this episode, discover:
How Wyoming women fought for, won, and protected early voting rights
How Haudenosaunee women influenced early leaders of the American women’s rights movement
Why living and working close to the land demands extraordinary resilience
How women’s interdependence creates a circular web of strength that uplifts entire communities
What Wyoming’s ranchers, artists, pilots, judges, language keepers, and other leaders reveal about identity, purpose, and leadership

Meet the women who helped build Wyoming and the bold women who are still shaping the American West today.

Do you seem to keep attracting the wrong partner? Is it bad luck or are unconscious relationship patterns shaping who you choose, trust, and love?
If dating or relationships feel like the same painful story with a different person playing the lead, your attachment style may be the reason. Insecure attachment can leave you terrified of abandonment, uncomfortable with intimacy, or repeatedly drawn to emotionally unavailable and toxic partners.
Clinical psychologist, attachment theory expert, and relationship coach Dr. Morgan Anderson joins Women Road Warriors hosts Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro to explain why we repeat unhealthy relationship patterns and how to break the cycle.
Dr. Morgan is the author of Love Magnet: Get Off the Dating Rollercoaster and Attract the Love You Deserve, creator of Empowered. Secure. Loved. and Dr. Morgan Coaching, and host of the top-rated podcast Let’s Get Vulnerable.
She understands toxic relationships personally. Before becoming a nationally recognized relationship expert, Dr. Morgan experienced betrayal, tolerated unhealthy relationships, and endured a situation so toxic that it resulted in a police report. She even walked away from a genuinely good relationship because the man liked baseball.
Dr. Morgan explains repetition compulsion, relational trauma, and the “blueprint for love” created by our earliest relationships. You’ll learn why red flags can initially resemble chemistry, why emotionally unavailable partners can feel irresistible, and why healthy love sometimes feels unfamiliar.
Discover:
How attachment styles influence whom you choose
Why you repeat toxic relationship patterns
How to recognize red flags and trauma-driven attraction
Why you may push emotionally safe partners away
How dating for validation damages self-worth
How to develop secure attachment
How to heal after a breakup
What emotionally safe, reciprocal love looks like

Your past may have shaped your attachment style, but it does not have to determine your future. Listen now and learn how to stop being a magnet for the wrong people and attract the healthy love you deserve.

Hot flashes. Brain fog. Weight gain. Anxiety. Exhaustion. Mood swings. Burnout.
If you've ever been told, "It's just part of mid-life," this episode may completely change the way you think about your health.
Nearly two out of three women say their healthcare provider never talked to them about what to expect during menopause. Millions of women struggle with perimenopause and menopause symptoms, yet many leave their doctor's office without answers. Research shows most women are never properly educated about menopause, hormone changes, or what to expect during midlife or before.
In this episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro welcome Dr. Sarah Secor-Jones, a board-certified physician, Navy veteran, and founder of Lesh Lifestyle, to uncover what every woman deserves to know about hormone health.
Dr. Sarah explains why estrogen influences more than 400 processes throughout the body, why hormone changes affect nearly every organ system, and why women have too often been overlooked in medical education and research.
You'll discover:
✔ Why menopause is NOT "all in your head"
✔ The real causes of brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, mood swings and burnout
✔ Why unexplained weight gain isn't simply about eating less
✔ How fluctuating hormones affect your brain, nervous system and metabolism
✔ Why hormone monitoring should begin long before menopause
✔ The difference between traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bioidentical hormone therapy
✔ Why women have historically been underserved by the medical system
✔ How to advocate for yourself and receive more comprehensive testing
✔ Why no woman should have to suffer from estrogen deficiency
✔ What panels of tests your doctor should be ordering
Dr. Sarah's message is both empowering and hopeful:
Stop blaming yourself. Start understanding your biology.
Whether you're in your twenties, navigating perimenopause, experiencing menopause, or supporting someone you love, this conversation provides practical information that every woman and every family should hear.
If you've ever wondered...
"Why don't I feel like myself anymore?"
...this episode may provide the answers you've been searching for.

What does it really take to pursue a dream and keep going when life breaks your heart?
On this inspiring episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro sit down with powerhouse country-soul singer-songwriter Morgan Myles to discuss the resilience, faith, and authenticity that have shaped both her life and her music. Her lessons will empower you and give you hope.
Many first discovered Morgan during her unforgettable run as a Top 3 finalist on NBC's The Voice, where she earned one of the fastest four-chair turns in the show's history. But her success didn't happen overnight. Behind the spotlight are nearly two decades of perseverance, hard work, rejection, personal loss, and an unwavering commitment to staying true to herself.
Morgan opens up about calling off her engagement, navigating betrayal and fraudulent intent within the music industry, and learning that our greatest setbacks often become the foundation for our greatest purpose. She shares why authenticity, not perfection, has become the cornerstone of both her career and her life.
Her powerful sophomore album, Laced, co-written entirely by Morgan and produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Ross Hogarth, features legendary musicians from Fleetwood Mac, Gov't Mule, and John Mellencamp's band. The album explores heartbreak, healing, hope, resilience, and faith through deeply personal storytelling and Morgan's extraordinary five-octave vocal range.
If you've ever faced disappointment, questioned your path, or wondered whether perseverance is worth it, Morgan's story will remind you that success isn't about avoiding hardship—it's about allowing hardship to shape you into someone stronger.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• How Morgan transformed heartbreak into hope through music
• Why authenticity is one of the greatest keys to lasting success
• What it really takes to build a career in the music industry without shortcuts
• How faith, perseverance, and resilience helped Morgan overcome life's biggest challenges
• Why rejection can become one of your greatest teachers
• The inspiration behind her album Laced and its cinematic storytelling
• Why learning to enjoy the journey matters as much as reaching the destination
Whether you're pursuing a dream, rebuilding after loss, growing your career, or simply looking for encouragement, this episode of Women Road Warriors offers practical wisdom, inspiration, and hope for anyone determined to turn life's challenges into purpose.
