E16 : The Story You Tell Yourself

E16 : The Story You Tell Yourself

What if the thing you're experiencing right now isn't the problem? What if it's the story you're telling yourself about it? In this episode of More Than Hormones, we're exploring one of the most powerful forces shaping your life: meaning. Because two women can experience the same event and create completely different futures from it. One sees failure. One sees feedback. One sees rejection. One sees redirection. One sees an ending. One sees a beginning. In this conversation, I share some of my own experiences with divorce, uncertainty, menopause, health scares, and reinvention, and how looking back has taught me that some of life's most difficult chapters were actually invitations into the next version of myself. We'll explore: * Why your thoughts aren't always facts * How the stories we repeat become our reality * The hidden danger of identifying with our struggles * Why midlife often feels uncomfortable before it feels expansive * The caterpillar and butterfly metaphor for transformation * How to rewrite the meaning of the chapter you're currently living If you've ever felt stuck, lost, behind, or uncertain about what comes next, this episode is for you. Journal Prompt What story are you telling yourself about the thing you're experiencing right now? And what might change if you told a different one?

E15 : What Happened To Me? The Question Every Midlife Woman Is Asking

Have you ever found yourself asking: "What happened to me?" In this episode of More Than Hormones, I explore one of the biggest challenges women face in midlife—not just hormonal change, but identity change. As our roles evolve, children grow up, parents age, relationships shift, and our bodies begin asking for something different, many of us find ourselves questioning who we are and what we want from the next chapter of life. I share the personal story of a health scare that became a powerful wake-up call and the lessons it taught me about uncertainty, reinvention, and stepping into what I now call your Expansion Era. This episode is for any woman who feels unsettled, stuck, or ready for more. Because midlife isn't the end of the story. It might just be the beginning of your most honest chapter yet.

E14 : Why I Wrote Menopause, Rewritten

For too long, women have been told that midlife is a period of decline — a time to simply accept feeling tired, disconnected, invisible, or "past it." I don't believe that's true. In this episode of Not Just Hormones, I share why I wrote Menopause, Rewritten, the conversations I've been having with women for more than twenty years, and the message I wish every woman could hear: You are not breaking. Your body is changing. The rules are changing. And your next chapter may be far more powerful than you realise. I'll talk about the hidden load so many women carry, why old approaches often stop working in midlife, and why I believe this phase of life is not about shrinking — it's about expansion. I'll also read the introduction from the book and share what inspired me to finally put these words on paper. If you've ever thought: "I don't recognise myself anymore." "I'm exhausted." "What worked before isn't working now." Then this episode is for you. Because midlife is not your maintenance era. It is your expansion era. * You can find Menopause, Rewritten on Amazon.
