Illuminate Virtual Deep Dive

What to Expect

• Week 1: My So-Called Midlife — Menopause Coach and The Resting Wolf Founder, Amber Alexander Solano, will lead you through an exercise to identify your own personal midlife mission statement, based on your values and priorities. You will leave this session with the foundation for the goals and action steps you will personally focus on throughout the program.
• Week 2: Ghosted by Estrogen, and Other Hormone Happenings — You’ll gain real clarity on the impact of shifting hormones on your body and mind. We'll talk about how dropping estrogen levels impact sleep, mood, hunger, skin, body composition, heart health, and more — along with the pros and cons of treatment options for unwanted symptoms.
• Week 3: Time To Renovate Your Downstairs — Your pelvic floor has been quietly doing the work since childbirth, core workouts, and one too many "just hold it" moments … and it deserves better. In this session, you’ll learn what's actually going on with your pelvic floor in midlife, why leaks and pressure aren't just "part of getting older," and the exercises, tools, and treatment options that can help.
• Week 4: Eat Like You Plan to Be Around a While — Longevity isn't a diet … it’s a strategy. This session breaks down what your changing body actually needs now: protein, fiber, and bone health essentials, how to eat for blood sugar and energy stability, and why "eat less, move more" stopped being useful advice a decade ago.
• Week 5: Move It So You Don't Lose It — Mobility, lymphatic movement, posture, and flexibility take center stage this week. The unglamorous, unskippable foundations that keep you upright, limber, and out of physical therapy. Less "no pain no gain," more "move well so you can keep moving."
• Week 6: Who's That Girl? — Navigating questions about midlife identity: changing priorities, appearance, roles, careers, life events that drive how we see ourselves in this new stage of life.
• Each week: A live 60–75 minute video session with your cohort, a session recording if you can't make it live, and access to a private community space between calls.
• Week 7: The Wild Card — The topic you didn't know you needed, chosen by you. Voted on during Week 1, this session flexes to your cohort's real, in-the-moment needs. Potential options include Caregiving, Moving Through Grief, Empty Nesting, Aesthetics and Skincare, and Creative Expression … the choice is yours.
• Week 8: Ready. Set. Action! — Amber will walk the group through creating a realistic action plan to integrate learnings into each cohort member's life in a way that supports, not overwhelms.
• Post-Course: The Follow-Through — Attendees schedule a 30-minute check-in with Amber to talk progress, troubleshoot what's not sticking, and adjust goals as needed.
• Illuminate cohort "dens" stay active for 3 months after the program ends — keeping the connection and accountability alive as you work toward your goals long after the last session wraps.
