Breathwork for Menopause Relief with Nicki Lambert

Today on Reclaim the Pause, I’m joined by Nicki — a certified breathwork facilitator, nervous system coach, and founder of Return to Radiance. After 25 years in corporate and hitting a wall of burnout, Nicki left everything she knew to rebuild her health. Breathwork became the tool that brought her back to herself… and now she helps midlife women do the same.   In this episode, we talk openly about the exhaustion, anxiety, hot flashes, and chronic stress so many women face during perimenopause — and how the way you breathe can immediately shift your body out of overwhelm.   Nicki also shares her own story of menopause at 53 and why midlife women are uniquely vulnerable to adrenal fatigue and cortisol overload. This conversation feels like a warm exhale. If you’ve been feeling fried, frazzled, or one breath away from a meltdown… this episode is for you.
