Do you miss the woman you used to be and want a clear way back to her?

I sat down with Swiss sophrologist Dominique Antiglio to explore sophrology — a simple, guided mind and body practice that blends breathwork, body awareness, gentle movement and visualisation. We talk sleep, the phone and sleep loop, and how short daily practices rebuild calm, clarity and self-trust in perimenopause.

You will hear how to start light, stay consistent and make changes that last in real life. We also dig into identity — reconnecting with your values so the habits you choose actually stick. Dominique shares lots of practical tips for incorporating Sophrology into daily life, emphasising the significance of self-connection and compassion in the journey towards better health.

In this episode we unwrap:

• What sophrology is and why it works for busy minds.

• Why sleep sits at the foundation of your wellbeing.

• Kinder evening routines that beat the scroll and protect your sleep.

• A quick 3-step reset you can use anywhere.

• Small steps over all-or-nothing, every time.

• Compassion as a performance tool, not a nice-to-have.

• Reconnecting with values and self-worth in midlife.

• How sophrology supports the five pillars in my RESET plan: mindset, movement, nutrition, sleep and stress
