Nourishing the MotherAuthor: Bridget Wood & Julie Tenner
Mothering can be an inspired journey to our most glittering, authentic, passionate, creative and connected selves. Through the mirror offered to us by our children, we are taken to every hurt, unmet need, and also every joy and excitement weve ever experienced. We want every woman and mother to give themselves and those around them the compassion, love and healing they so readily offer their children, but rarely allow themselves. Journey with us as we discuss the many layers of being a mother today, where we have come from and where we want to go. Learn tools to connect with yourself, offer compassion to those parts wed rather deny and get back in love with yourself, motherhood and who you are as a feminine woman.

NTM 558: Perimenopause Unpacked: Hormones, Burnout & Your Next Evolution with Naturopath Charmaine Newmark
Episode 558
Wednesday, 13 May, 2026
Perimenopause can feel like your body, mind and identity are shifting beneath your feet - but what if this season is not simply hormonal chaos to survive, but a profound invitation into your next evolution? In this powerful conversation, naturopath and counsellor Charmaine Newmark joins us to explore perimenopause as the transition from mother to matriarch - a deeply biological, emotional and spiritual rite of passage that so many women are navigating without enough support. Together, we unpack the symptoms, stress, body changes, identity shifts and nervous system depletion that can shape this chapter, while offering grounded, practical ways to support your hormones, energy, sleep and sense of self.In this episode we discuss:- What perimenopause actually is - and why it can begin years before menopause- Common symptoms including brain fog, fatigue, sleep disruption, libido changes and weight shifts- Why stress, burnout and nervous system depletion can intensify hormonal symptoms- The transition from reproductive woman to matriarch, and the identity shifts that can come with it- Reframing symptoms from “something is wrong” to understanding what your body is asking for- The role of protein, fibre, muscle-building and blood sugar support in hormonal wellbeing- Why sleep becomes essential: and practical ways to improve it- Rest as a personalised practice rather than a one-size-fits-all approach- Ownership of time, energy and capacity in this life stage- How to recognise your limits and support yourself with greater compassion and wisdom- The importance of self-care that genuinely restores rather than simply adds pressure- Perimenopause as a powerful opportunity for recalibration, deeper self-trust and redefining how you want to live nextFree guide when you're feeling too tired and overwhelmed to start >>> Nourished You Free Guide — Charmaine Newmark - The Nourished NaturopathFacebook >>> https://www.facebook.com/charmainenewmarkthenourishednaturopathInsta >>> https://www.instagram.com/charmaine.newmark.nourishedWebsite >>> Charmaine Newmark - The Nourished NaturopathWant support on this journey?
