Ep15 Pressing Play on We Weren't Meant to do Midlife Alone
WE WEREN'T MEANT TO DO MIDLIFE ALONE
Last week, for the very first time, I missed an episode of The Pressing Play Podcast.
The reason? I was in London attending two incredible events. I went expecting to learn, but what I wasn't expecting was how I would feel afterwards.
I came home calmer. Lighter. More energised.
It reminded me that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for our wellbeing isn't adding another supplement, another podcast or another thing to our to-do list. Sometimes, it's simply saying yes to connection.
In this episode, I explore the fascinating science behind why being physically together changes how we think, feel and regulate our nervous systems. We look at why perimenopause can become one of the loneliest seasons of a woman's life, how stress and fluctuating hormones can amplify that feeling, and why gathering with other women may be exactly what our brains and bodies have been designed to do.
IN THIS EPISODE
* Why connection is more than a nice idea—it's powerful support for your nervous system.
* The science of collective effervescence and why shared experiences leave us feeling more alive.
* Why online communities help us find our people, but real-life connection deepens those relationships.
* How perimenopause can increase feelings of stress, anxiety and isolation.
* What anthropology teaches us about why women have always gathered together.
* Simple ways to create a more connected summer.
