Why Self-Connection Matters Most in Perimenopause
Episode 6
Tuesday, 11 November, 2025
This episode is a little different. 💛 I recently joined Ann Marie McQueen on her podcast, Hotflash Inc, and the conversation was too good not to share here. We talked deeply about women's health, burnout, the broken healthcare system, and what it really means to take radical responsibility for your own body, especially in midlife. Highlights: ✨ I share how my Woman Up event united over 100 women seeking health and happiness. ✨ Why "normal" bloodwork isn't always optimal, and how the medical system continues to fail women. ✨ How midlife hormones lower our tolerance for stress and change the way we recover. ✨ My own burnout and "dark night of the soul", and how I turned it into a healing experience. ✨ Why perimenopause can sound like "I don't feel like myself" and what that really means. ✨ The danger of assuming every symptom is perimenopause, and what to test instead. ✨ Iron, B12, and protein deficiencies: the hidden causes behind fatigue and low mood. ✨ Why collaboration between medical and naturopathic doctors is the future of women's health. If you've ever felt dismissed, overlooked, or "not quite yourself," this conversation will remind you that your body isn't broken - it's just asking you to listen. This episode is both a reflection and a rallying cry for women everywhere to woman up, speak up, and take charge of their own wellbeing.
