EMBR with Kimberly
EMBR With Kimberly is a podcast for women navigating perimenopause and midlife transitions who want clarity—not chaos.
Hosted by Kimberly Hoyt, PA-C, a physician assistant with over two decades in clinical medicine, this podcast blends medical insight with real-life perspective. Kimberly is walking through this season herself and brings a calm, relatable voice to conversations many women feel unprepared for.
Each episode helps you understand what’s happening in your body, recognize changes you may have been brushing off, and approach midlife with more confidence and self-trust.
Real education, thoughtful reflection, and support for women over 40 who want to feel informed and empowered.
This is midlife—reframed.
