Welcome back to Beautiful Inside. Today, I’m chatting with the fabulous Jodie Matthews, founder of ashaya. Now, this episode is extra special as it ties into Menopause Awareness Month, which is something I’ve personally been navigating as I enter perimenopause. I’ve had physical symptoms—from anxiety to gastrointestinal issues—that I didn’t even realise were related to peri!

I’ve known Jodie for years from when she was heading up MAC Cosmetics and she has always been someone who leads with passion and purpose. I caught up with her recently and was really inspired by how she has approached this new phase in her life and I wanted to get a different perspective for dealing with peri and menopause.

In this episode, she opens up about the struggles she faced, and how those personal experiences drove her to start ashaya—a brand that’s all about supporting women through every stage of life. From the mental health side to physical transformations, we dive deep into how we can all navigate these changes with knowledge, compassion, and a bit of humour.

And because we love to spoil our Beautiful Inside community, we're partnering with ashaya for a fabulous giveaway. Stay tuned for details on our Instagram account.

Whether you're in the midst of your own perimenopause journey, or just want to be better prepared for what’s ahead, this conversation is a must-watch.
