Sending your child off to college is a big transition, and not just for them. It's a whole new chapter for us as parents, too.

In this episode of The Next ChaptHER, I'm joined by my friend Shane Shaps, founder of Big Voice Social and co-host of The Social Dialogue podcast with her daughter Jenna, for an honest conversation about what happens when our kids start building lives of their own.

Color as a Clarity Tool: Simplify Your Closet, Shopping & Everyday Decisions

Have you ever put on a color and instantly felt brighter, more confident, and more like yourself? Or bought something you loved in the store only to have it sit untouched in your closet?

In this episode of The Next ChaptHER, Andrea sits down with Judy Lee, founder of Huephoric Color Analysis, to talk about why color analysis is about so much more than figuring out whether you’re a summer or an autumn.

Lately, you might be noticing small things…

You’re asking people to repeat themselves.
Restaurants feel louder than they used to.
You leave conversations feeling more drained than connected.
Or maybe there’s a subtle ringing, buzzing, or just an “off” feeling you can’t quite explain.

And you’re wondering…
Is this just normal? Or is something actually going on?

It’s about understanding the subtle shifts happening in your body and knowing what to do next.

One year ago, I was sitting in a parking lot when I got the call that would change my life.

But this episode isn’t just about that moment. It’s about what happens after.
What a year like that teaches you.
And why this conversation matters even if you haven’t faced a diagnosis like mine.

Because most of us will go through a year that changes us.
A year where life splits into before and after.
A year where something happens that we didn’t plan, didn’t want, and didn’t see coming.

In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on the past year and sharing the questions I’ve been asking myself.

In this episode, Andrea sits down with menopause coach Susie Weinberg to talk about perimenopause and menopause, a stage of life that affects almost every woman, yet many still feel confused and alone when it begins.

In this episode of The Next ChaptHER Podcast, Andrea sits down with Dr. Andrea Hogan — known to her students as “Dr. Dre” — for a powerful conversation about losing your voice without losing it physically.
