Bench To Bold with Alisa Hood and Marnie Schneider
Life isn’t a spectator sport—and this podcast is your invitation to get off the bench and into the game.
Welcome to Bench to Bold—a show for anyone who's ready to stop sitting on the sidelines and start living life like they mean it. Hosted by dynamic duo Alisa Hood, fashion and lifestyle entrepreneur, and Marnie Schneider, author, speaker, and football legacy, the podcast brings together inspiring guests, bold conversations, and a sprinkle of sports energy to help you own your moment—on your terms.
Each episode features real, unfiltered stories from bold individuals across industries—leaders, founders, creatives, and changemakers. Whether they were born bold or had to grow into it, these are people living with intention, taking risks, and showing up fully in their lives.
With Alisa’s polished edge and Marnie’s infectious energy, Bench to Bold is equal parts motivational and relatable. Grounded in their personal love of sports (Alisa is a competitive tennis player; Marnie is the granddaughter of former Philadelphia Eagles owner Leonard Tose), the show uses a sports metaphor as a powerful lens for personal growth. Because life isn’t about watching from the sidelines—it’s about becoming the main character and making bold moves, whatever that looks like for you.
From the sidelines to center court—this is Bench to Bold.

Ep 19: Why Women Feel Exhausted, Foggy, and Off—and What to Do About It
So many women feel constantly tired, mentally foggy, irritable, or just off—and quietly assume it’s normal, stress-related, or something they just have to push through.
In this episode of Bench to Bold, we sit down with Dr. Laura, a board-certified OB-GYN and menopause specialist at Infinity Med Spa, to talk honestly about what’s really happening inside women’s bodies—and what can actually help.
We cover:
- Why exhaustion, brain fog, mood changes, and low motivation are so common
- The difference between “normal aging” and treatable hormonal shifts
- Perimenopause, menopause, and why symptoms look different for every woman
- Hormones, peptides, NAD, and preventative care—without the hype
- How to advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office
- Small, practical steps women can take now to feel better
This conversation is empowering, informative, and reassuring—especially if you’ve ever thought, “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”
