  • Dr. Mindy Pelz: Menopause is a Rite of Passage, Not a Disease — Fasting, Hormones & Reinventing Yourself After 50

    Dr. Mindy Pelz: Menopause is a Rite of Passage, Not a Disease — Fasting, Hormones & Reinventing Yourself After 50
    Dec 19 2025
    In this powerful and paradigm-shifting conversation, Darin Olien sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to dismantle everything we've been told about menopause, hormones, aging, and women's power. This is not a conversation about "fixing" women — it's about understanding a profound neurological, biological, and evolutionary transition that has been misunderstood, pathologized, and silenced for decades. Together, they explore why menopause is not the end of vitality, but the beginning of leadership, clarity, and sovereignty — and why reclaiming this transition could fundamentally reshape families, culture, and the future of women's health.

    Dec 18 2025

  • Gabby Reece: The Truth About Love, Discipline & Becoming Who You're Meant to Be

    Gabby Reece: The Truth About Love, Discipline & Becoming Who You're Meant to Be
    Dec 12 2025
    In this conversation, Darin sits down with his longtime friend, athlete, and powerhouse human Gabby Reece to talk about what it really takes to grow up without shutting down. They go into childhood chaos, the gift and cost of competitiveness, and what it means to stay "dangerous" in the best way as you age — in your body, your relationships, and your purpose. Gabby opens up about losing her father young, being uprooted from the Caribbean, using sport as a lifeline, and eventually navigating fame, motherhood, and a marriage with Laird Hamilton under intense pressure. She and Darin get radically honest about boundaries, addiction, partnership, sleep, hormones, and why women's wisdom in midlife is massively undervalued. This episode is part love letter to long-haul relationships and part tactical playbook for anyone who wants to keep evolving instead of checking out.
