If you’re tired in a way rest doesn’t touch…
If you’ve done the work but still feel slightly on edge…
If being “strong” or “capable” no longer feels like something you want to keep doing…

This episode is for you.

This is a quiet, spacious fireside conversation about something that sits underneath anxiety, exhaustion, relationship strain, and the sense of feeling subtly disconnected from yourself, especially in midlife and menopause.

This is about attunement and what happens in the body when it’s missing.

If you want to feel:

• less braced against life
• more settled inside yourself
• understood without having to explain
• calmer without being told to “relax”
• a sense of warmth, steadiness, and inner permission

…this episode is an invitation to listen.

***************************

If this episode resonates, and you find yourself craving a slower, kinder way of being with yourself, I’m creating a membership space called Becoming.

It’s for women in midlife and menopause who don’t need more information, but do need somewhere to practise presence, self-attunement, and ease.

Becoming is currently open via a waitlist.

What if menopause isn’t a breakdown…
but a house renovation you’re living inside?

In this episode, I reframe menopause in a way I wish someone had offered me. Not as decline. Not as loss. Not as something to “push through.”
But as a neurological remodel happening in real time, while I’m still expected to function, work, parent, decide what cheese to buy, and hold everything together.

No wonder it feels chaotic.

What I share in this episode:

• Why menopause is not just hormonal, but deeply neurological
• How fluctuating estrogen affects mood, memory, focus, and emotional regulation
• Why brain fog, emotional sensitivity, and slower thinking are not failures, but signs of reorganization
• What’s really happening when my tolerance for noise, pressure, people-pleasing, and nonsense disappears
• How the amygdala shifts and threat sensitivity gradually dials down
• Why decisions feel slower, more embodied, and less driven by urgency
• How identity itself begins to shift during menopause, not collapse
• The grief, the disorientation, and the unexpected clarity that emerges on the other side
• Why post-menopause often brings deeper contentment, discernment, and grounded leadership

If you’re like me and feeling:

• Less sharp but more sensitive
• Slower but more discerning
• Less tolerant of bullshit
• Less available for emotional labour
• More interested in depth than surface-level busyness

Nothing has gone wrong.
Something is reorganizing with intent.

‘Becoming’ is the new membership I’ve created for this phase

Becoming is a space for women in this in-between phase where old identities no longer fit, and new ones haven’t fully arrived yet.

The waitlist is now open.

This episode isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you exhale…
and trust that your system knows exactly what it’s doing.

You are not broken.
You are remodeling.

See you next week.

What if menopause isn’t something to manage…
What if it’s something to participate in?

In this deeply reflective solo episode, I return after time away with a radical reframe of what “mindset” actually means in menopause, and why the phrase has become so triggering, misunderstood, and frankly, unhelpful.

Fresh from turning 50 and beginning my Clinical Hypnotherapy diploma, I share what it’s like to be in the middle of a personal and professional unlearning. Long-held beliefs are being questioned. Identities are softening. Certainty is giving way to curiosity.

This isn’t a how-to episode.
It’s a fireside conversation for women who feel something deeper is happening beneath the surface.

In this episode, I explore:

🧠 Why “just change your mindset” can feel dismissive and where that conversation breaks down
🔍 What mindset actually means (and why it’s not positive thinking)
🫀 How perception, nervous system safety, and hormones are in constant dialogue
🌡️ Why you can’t think your way into more estrogen — but can influence how symptoms land in the body
🔥 The biology behind hot flushes, stress, adrenaline, and the feedback loops that intensify symptoms
🌀 What hypnotherapy really is (and no, it’s not stage hypnosis or mind control)
🪞 Why menopause is a transition of identity, not just hormones
🧳 How stress can exist even when life looks “fine” on paper
🧩 Why perfectionism is often a trauma response — and why menopause dismantles it
🌱 Menopause as compost: decay and renewal happening at the same time
🤝 Why this stage of life asks for collaboration, not control

This episode is for you if:

😮‍💨 You’re tired of oversimplified menopause advice
😬 You bristle at mindset talk but still feel drawn to something deeper
🐢 You sense menopause is asking you to slow down, not push harder
🤍 You want compassion, nuance, and honesty — not fixes
🧬 You’re curious about the mind–body relationship without bypassing biology

A quiet announcement

I introduce Becoming, a new membership space I’m creating, not to fix or optimize women in menopause, but to offer somewhere to be while identity, nervous system, and meaning are reorganizing.

This is not a course.
This is not a program.
It’s a space for women who feel the shift and don’t want to rush through it.

The waitlist is now open. No urgency. No pressure. Just an invitation.

If this episode felt like relief rather than effort… if something in your body quietly said yes… trust that.

Menopause isn’t a problem to solve.
It’s a process you’re allowed to be in.

You’re not broken.
You’re becoming.
