Hi, friends, I'm so glad you're here while we're talking about feet again. And I have to tell you, when we did our first show about foot health, I had absolutely no idea how much you all were going to care about this. It ended up becoming one of our most listened to episodes ever. And the questions just kept coming in. Bunions, toe spacers, barefoot walking, what shoes we should actually be wearing, what happens to our feet as we get older, and whether or not there's anything we can do about it.

So I've read your comments, I saw your questions, and there were so many, I finally thought, okay, we got to do this again. We're going to get Dr. Courtney back to answer these questions. So I have a whole list sitting in front of me. And today we're going to get those questions answered. Dr. Courtney Conley is the author of Walk, and one of the leading experts in foot and gait health. And I will tell you, she has already changed the way I think about my own feet. The last time Courtney was here, she basically ripped apart my entire shoe collection. Don't worry, I've not stopped wearing heels. And I'm not going to sit here and pretend I'm somebody who suddenly wears sensible shoes all the time. But I am thinking differently about what I do the rest of the time. Because the older I get, the more I think about what I want my life to actually look like in 10, 20 or 30 years. I want to travel. I want to be like my dad and walk everywhere. I want to work out. And I want to be able to get up and go whenever I want to without having to think twice about what my body can do. Before Dr. Courtney came on the show, I didn't think about my feet at all. They were not on my list of things I have to take care of. And now they are. I've been walking barefoot more. I've actually been thinking about strengthening my feet. I'm officially a toe spacer person.

And Dr. Courtney and I have something really exciting to share with you today that came out of the first conversation. If you're watching the video, you might be seeing it already, just a hint, but I'm going to make you wait a little bit for that one. Before we get into it, I need one thing from you. If you are here with me every week and you have not left a review for the show, can you please go and do it?

It takes about 30 seconds. I read all of them and it helps more women find this community we're building here.

So hit pause, leave us five stars, tell me what you think of the show, and then come right back. Okay, let's go ahead and get into it with Dr. Courtney Conley.

Everyone talks about how challenging it is to raise kids, but what about protecting them? Outlet covers, kitchen cabinet locks, baby gates. Where do you even start?

Well, protecting your home and auto is a great place to start. Progressive offers customized coverage options, so you can be sure you have the right coverage.

There was a point where I genuinely didn't know what was happening to my own body. The 3 AM wake ups, the brain fog, and every time I brought it up, I got told it was stress or just aging, or just something to deal with. Nobody was actually listening.

Well, I'm excited. We're talking feet again.

For anyone who didn't catch us the first time. You know, I was thinking about this. So you came on the show. We had so many people ask so many questions. I was blown away because I did not know what to expect. The first time you came on, I'm like, how long can we talk about feet? What's happening here?
