How It's Really Going with Shana Recker
How It’s Really Going is where I share real conversations about midlife, business, health, and identity.
I'm a midlife woman, wife, and entrepreneur navigating perimenopause, ADHD, body changes, and the evolving reality of running a business in midlife. This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about talking honestly through the highs, the lows, and the messy middle, without pretending everything is fine.
Some episodes focus on hormones, health, and feeling at home in your body again. Others focus on business, creativity, burnout, reinvention, and what it actually looks like to build a life and career that still fits as you change.
This is a solo show by design.
No interviews.
No performance.
Just real reflection, lived experience, and conversations.
Earlier episodes reflect a previous chapter of my work in network marketing, mindset, and business coaching. This podcast has evolved as I have, into something more grounded, more personal, and more honest.
If you’re a midlife woman building a business, questioning old identities, or trying to feel like yourself again, you’re in the right place.
