E12 : The Power of Perspective

E19 : Why Knowing What You Want Isn't Enough

Most women know what they want. They want more energy. More confidence. More freedom. More adventure. More purpose. So why do so many women stay stuck? In this episode, Colette explores one of the most important lessons she's learned from working with hundreds of women navigating midlife transitions. The problem isn't usually clarity. The problem is identity. Because every time we try to create a bigger life while holding onto an old story about who we are, we create internal resistance. If you've ever found yourself thinking: "I'm too old." "It's too late." "People like me don't do things like that." This episode will help you understand why knowing what you want isn't enough and what needs to change before lasting transformation can happen. * Why clarity alone doesn't create change * The hidden stories that keep women stuck * How identity shapes our decisions and behaviour * Why confidence follows action, not the other way around * The mindset shift required to create your next chapter ✨ Take the Expansion Era Quiz: TAKE THE QUIZ HERE [https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/quiz/ELigg3XaVrs7uolH947O] 📖 Learn more about Menopause, Rewritten: PICK UP YOUR COPY HERE [https://amzn.eu/d/0hYh8DDO] 💫 Explore The Goddess Way Back To You: FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HOW I CAN HELP YOU [https://thegoddessacademy.co.uk/the-goddess-way-back-to-you] Share this episode with a friend and ask yourself: What story am I ready to stop believing?

E18 : Is It Menopause Or Have I Lost Myself?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered where the old version of you went? The confident woman. The energetic woman. The woman who used to know exactly who she was. Many women assume these feelings are simply part of menopause. And while changing hormones absolutely affect our energy, mood, sleep and wellbeing, there may be something deeper happening beneath the surface. In this episode, Colette explores the question so many women are quietly asking: "Have I lost myself?" Together we'll unpack the difference between being lost and evolving, why midlife often feels unsettling, and how years of putting yourself last can leave you feeling disconnected from your own needs, desires and dreams. Most importantly, you'll discover why the woman you're searching for may not be behind you at all. She may be the woman you're becoming. * Why so many women feel disconnected from themselves in midlife * The difference between menopause symptoms and identity shifts * How years of caring for others can lead to self-abandonment * Why midlife is often a season of awakening rather than decline * The powerful question that can change everything: "Who am I becoming?"

E17 : Most Midlife Women Are Solving The Wrong Problem

What if the thing you're trying hardest to fix isn't actually the problem? So many women come to me believing they need to lose weight, find more motivation, become more disciplined, or simply try harder. But when we dig a little deeper, a different picture emerges. Fatigue. Poor recovery. Chronic stress. Disrupted sleep. Hormonal change. Years of putting everyone else first. In this episode of More Than Hormones, we're exploring why so many midlife women are focused on the symptom rather than the cause, and why reclaiming your energy may be the most important thing you can do for your health, confidence and future. Inside this episode, we discuss: ✨ Why weight gain is often a symptom, not the problem ✨ The hidden impact of stress, sleep and recovery ✨ Why motivation isn't usually the issue ✨ The midlife trap of pushing harder when your body needs support ✨ How energy creates choices ✨ Why choices create expansion If you've been blaming yourself for feeling stuck, exhausted or unmotivated, this episode is for you. Instead of asking: "What do I need to fix?" Try asking: "What does my body need from me right now?"

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.
