Terry Tateossian | From Burnout to Vitality: How One Mom Lost 80 Pounds, Survived Perimenopause, and Reclaimed Her Health
Episode 159
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026
What does it look like when a business-owning mom hits rock bottom — physically, emotionally, and hormonally — and finds her way back? In this episode, Jessica sits down with Terry Tateossian, founder of Thor (The House of Rose), a health coaching practice built for midlife women ready to reclaim their vitality. At 42, Terry lost over 80 pounds, overcame emotional eating, and discovered she had been navigating early perimenopause since age 37 — without knowing it. She shares the raw truth about burnout, using sugar and alcohol to regulate a dysregulated nervous system, the identity shift required to actually keep the weight off, and why strength training was the medicine that changed everything. This one hits home for every woman who has ever felt like she is running on empty and can't figure out where to start.MAIN TOPICS COVEREDTerry's background — from Eastern Europe to entrepreneurship, two kids, and corporate burnoutThe panic attacks that sent her to the ER twice — and what they were really telling herUsing sugar, alcohol, and nicotine to regulate an overwhelmed nervous systemWhy doing more was never the answer — and what doing less actually looked like in practiceEarly onset perimenopause at 37 — and why she thought she was pregnant again at 42The identity shift required to lose 80 pounds and keep it off for 13 yearsTime blocking, strength training, and the two-hour morning non-negotiable that changed everythingHow physical health transformed her business decisions — and freed her from fear-based choicesThe difference between profitable work and work that breaks youThor retreats — what they are, what happens there, and who they're forNervous system regulation, breathwork, restorative yoga, hiking, and community as medicineRESOURCES MENTIONEDThor (The House of Rose) retreats — thehouseofrose.comInstagram: @how.good.can.it.get & @thor.wellnessWalking pad — mentioned as a tool for movement during the workdayResistance bands and dumbbells — Terry's recommendation for home-based strength trainingHOW TO CONNECT WITH THE GUESTWebsite: thehouseofrose.comInstagram: @how.good.can.it.get & @thor.wellnessThis episode is sponsored by Collabs Creative - a digital marketing company supporting makers, creatives, and small business owners with all things digital and design.
