This conversation is not about ‘surviving’ menopause. It’s about claiming power, pleasure, and potency on the other side of it. Sally sits down with Carla Wainwright, holistic wellness coach, sexual awakening facilitator, and self-described midlife alchemist, for a deeply grounding, myth-shattering conversation about what really happens when women cross the threshold of midlife. With a background in biology, homeopathy, and over 30 years of embodiment work, Carla bridges science and the sacre...
Your Cycle Isn’t the Problem — The Way We’ve Been Taught to Live Is What if the days you feel flat, emotional, tired, or “off” aren’t something to fix… but something to listen to? In this episode, Sally is joined by Claire Baker — menstrual cycle educator, author, and founder of Cycle Coach School — for a grounded, honest conversation about menstrual cycle awareness, agency, and the long-term impact of ignoring the body’s rhythms. We’re not asking you to ‘love your period’, we’re just s...
As we know, menopause is not a downfall, it’s a metamorphosis, and Petra Coveney—former BBC journalist, founder of Menopause Yoga, bestselling author, and unapologetic menopause rebel—joined Sally to tear down every stale narrative about “the change.” And trust us… this conversation goes there. Petra went through perimenopause early, alone, confused, and dismissed by doctors who had nothing to offer her except a pat on the head and a “good luck.” The frustration, shame and rage… she tapped in...

Everything went wrong before this interview even started: lagging audio, frozen screens, “Can you hear me?” chaos… which, honestly, became the perfect metaphor for today’s topic: women being told to accept dysfunction as normal. And fittingly, this conversation marks a huge milestone — our 200th episode! Two hundred episodes of unlearning, reframing, and giving women permission to trust their bodies. And today’s guest delivers exactly that kind of truth. Because once Nicole Jardim (women’s he...
Perimenopause can feel like a 10–15 year hormonal remix, but why is it so much harder for women in 2025?.

Forget everything you think you know about periods. This conversation blows the lid off the cultural conditioning, shame, and linear thinking we’ve been fed, and replaces it with a radical new paradigm: menstruality as a source of power, creativity, leadership, and spiritual awakening.

With over 60 years of combined experience, ...
Are You Living on Autopilot or Riding the Genius Wheel? What if your life wasn’t random chaos… but a seven-year cycle that secretly shapes your growth, transitions, and genius? In this conversation, Sally sits down with Lulu Minns, author, coach, and creator of The Genius Wheel, to smash the myth that “genius” is reserved for Einstein-types. Instead, Lulu unveils a radically different framework that reclaims intuition, feminine power, and the cycles we’ve been taught to ignore. We dive into: ...

💥 Ever said yes when you meant no? 💥 Ever lost yourself just to keep the peace? That’s not people-pleasing. That’s FAWNING—and it runs deeper than you think. In this raw and revealing conversation, Dr. Ingrid Clayton peels back the layers of complex trauma, unpacks the hidden cost of fawning, and gets brutally honest about what it takes to stop abandoning yourself, especially during midlife shifts like menopause. This isn’t self-help fluff. This is a nervous system truth. This is unfawning—an...
