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.

Sleep Divorce? Why I Moved Into My Own Bedroom
Note: This episode was recorded earlier for a previous project I’ve since closed. I’m sharing it here because the message still holds value. You may hear older references.
Yup. I said it. I’m officially sleeping in a different room than my husband—and I’ve never felt better. In this unfiltered episode, I share why we made the decision, how it’s improved everything from my hormones to our relationship, and why you might want to rethink the “you must share a bed” rule too. If you’re exhausted, moody, snappy, and one more night of snoring might send you over the edge… this one’s for you.
✅ What You’ll Hear in This Episode
- How one head cold turned into the best sleep decision ever
- Why I hate the term “sleep divorce” (and what we call it instead)
- How perimenopause made me hypersensitive to sound, temperature, and breathing noises
- What happened when I asked my husband for my own room
- How we stay connected and intimate without sleeping in the same bed
- The sleep + mood connection you’re probably underestimating
- Why this isn’t “giving up on marriage”—it’s actually saving our sanity
Thank you all so much for listening!
