You’ve heard menopause is “natural.” But natural doesn’t mean effortless... and it certainly doesn’t mean support isn’t needed.

In this expansive and empowering episode, we reframe menopause not as something to fix, but as a profound rite of passage. A threshold. A second spring.

Join me as we explore:

• What’s really happening with your hormones: oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and how they impact bone, muscle, mood, and more
• The real stages of menopause: pre-menopause, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause
• Why so many of us feel off-balance in midlife and why you’re not broken
• The deep cultural silence around this transition, and how to reclaim your voice
• How this season of life offers a return to your core values, clarity, and strength
• Why “second spring” isn’t about going backwards, it’s about emerging with more of your self intact

This episode is part education, part validation, part invitation. Wherever you are on the menopause path, this conversation is for you.

You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re blooming in your own time.
