  • 26. Dionna Hickox: Creating a Perimenopause Journey on Her Terms
    2024/11/18

    In this candid and inspiring conversation, I sat down with Dionna Hickox, a woman I've known through social media for seven years. Dionna shares her remarkable journey from being a reluctant gym-goer to embracing a fitness lifestyle, navigating the emotional challenges of becoming an empty nester, and even embarking on an adventurous van life experience. We dive deep into her experiences with perimenopause, the importance of community support, and her mission to empower women through strength training and self-acceptance.


    Key Takeaways

    1. Dionna started her fitness journey in her late 30s, initially feeling intimidated by the gym.

    2. She found motivation through accountability by becoming a Beachbody coach.

    3. Transitioning to an empty nester brought feelings of loss and the need to redefine her identity.

    4. Living in a van was a dream of her husband's, which she supported despite initial hesitations.

    5. Dionna's experiences with perimenopause led her to share her journey to help other women feel less alone.

    6. She emphasizes the importance of educating oneself about menopause and its symptoms.

    7. Dionna encourages women to embrace their imperfections and prioritize their health.

    8. She believes in the power of community support among women navigating similar life changes.

    9. Dionna is creating a strength training guide to help women feel empowered in their fitness journey.

    10. She advocates for a balanced approach to health, focusing on both physical and mental well-being.


    Talking with Dionna felt like chatting with an old friend. Her honesty, humor, and willingness to share both the ups and downs of her journey are refreshing. As someone who also talks about menopause frequently (much to my 13-year-old's chagrin!), I appreciate Dionna's efforts to normalize these conversations.


    Our discussion about the differences in food and lifestyle between the U.S. and places like Italy was particularly interesting to me. It's a reminder of how our environment and choices can significantly impact our health and well-being.


    If you're inspired by Dionna's journey, I encourage you to:

    1. Follow Dionna on social media for daily inspiration and honest conversations about midlife.

    2. Start educating yourself about perimenopause and menopause - knowledge is power!

    3. Consider incorporating strength training into your routine, no matter your age or fitness level.

    4. Be open to trying new things and embracing imperfection.

    5. Join or create a community of women supporting each other through midlife changes.
