So many women reach midlife and feel like their bodies have suddenly changed the rules. You’re eating the same. Moving the same. Doing what always worked — and yet the weight won’t shift. Or it comes back faster than ever. And too often, the message women receive is that they simply aren’t trying hard enough. In this episode of Hey Soul Sista, host Mel Histon, sits down with bariatric surgeons Dr Martin McLeod and Dr Mark Gately from Sea Change Clinic for a compassionate, honest, and myth-busting conversation about weight, health, and wellbeing in midlife. Together we explore the biological, hormonal, emotional, and societal factors that shape women’s weight — and unpack why this is about far more than willpower or discipline. This episode isn’t about shame or quick fixes.It’s about understanding, empowerment, and informed choice. In this conversation we explore: Why weight gain often happens in midlife The role hormones, sleep, stress, and muscle loss play How chronic stress and emotional load impact metabolism Why shame and stigma make weight challenges harder The shift from viewing obesity as willpower to chronic health condition The truth behind common weight loss myths Understanding “set point” and weight regain Evidence-based support options including: Lifestyle approaches Medical support GLP-1 medications Bariatric surgery When additional support might be appropriate — and why that isn’t failure What sustainable success actually looks like Compassionate reframing for women navigating body changes As always on Hey Soul Sista, this conversation centres women’s lived experiences, wellbeing, and agency — because your body is not a problem to fix. It’s something to understand, support, and care for.

You may have heard people talk of having ‘spiritual awakenings’ and how they can lead to more enlightened (dare we say) people. But what does a spiritual awakening really mean, and what does it actually entail? Spiritual awakenings can be unnerving at first, as they often cause us to grapple with questions like, Who am I, and why am I here? But there can also be a certain element of wonder and excitement when we find ourselves suddenly feeling very much alive. In this episode of Hey Soul Sista podcast, Mel discusses with psychic medium, Rebecca Gibson, what a spiritual awakening actually mean, how do you know if you are on the journey, how do you know when you are awake! + Follow Mel at @melissahiston + Follow Hey Soul Sista at @sistacode + Subscribe to make sure you hear the next instalment of Hey Soul Sista Podcast + www.thesistacode.com + melissa@thesistacode.com + Recorded at Newcastle Podcast StationSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many women grow up believing it’s their job to keep everyone else happy — to be the good girl, the peacekeeper, the one who doesn’t rock the boat. But what if that belief is the very thing keeping you exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from yourself? In this episode of Hey Soul Sista, host, Mel Histon, is joined by psychologist Kaz Amos for a deep, compassionate conversation about people pleasing — where it comes from, why it’s so hard to stop, and how it quietly shapes our confidence, self-worth, and relationships. Together, we explore how people pleasing isn’t a personality flaw, but often a learned survival response — rooted in attachment, trauma, conditioning, and hypervigilance. We talk about the good girl conditioning so many women carry into adulthood, why saying no can feel unbearable, and what it really means to stop taking responsibility for other people’s emotions. This is a powerful conversation for anyone who: Feels responsible for other people’s moods or reactions Struggles with guilt when saying no Notices resentment building after always putting others first Is ready to let go of the good girl role — especially in midlife Wants to live more authentically, with stronger boundaries and self-trust In this episode, we cover: What people pleasing really is (and what it’s not) The psychology behind people pleasing and fawning How trauma and hypervigilance shape our behaviour Why people pleasing feels “safe” — but keeps us stuck The hidden impact on confidence, self-worth, and identity Midlife as an invitation to stop pleasing and start choosing yourself Practical ways to recognise people pleasing patterns and gently shift them What it means to live authentically — without guilt or shame If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “I’m not responsible for your happiness” — but still feeling like you are — this episode is for you.
