  • Still Tired After 8 Hours of Sleep? Here’s What Might Be Going On
    May 10 2025

    You’re not lazy — and it’s not just “life.” There are real biological reasons you're still exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep.

    If you’re waking up tired every day and wondering what’s going on, this episode is going to connect the dots for you.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why your exhaustion isn’t just about sleep quantity — but quality, hormones, and motivation too
    • The hidden impact of blood sugar crashes, gut issues, and inflammation on your energy levels
    • How to figure out what’s really draining your energy — and the first step to changing it

    This episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself — and start asking better questions about what your body needs. We explore why so many women in their 40s feel completely wiped out, even when they’re technically doing everything right.

    You’ll learn how hormonal fluctuations, disrupted cortisol patterns, nutrient deficiencies, and gut dysfunction all interact — and more importantly, how to begin untangling it.

    And if you’re ready to stop pushing through the fog and start feeling more like yourself again, you’ll hear how to uncover the real reason behind your fatigue.

    SNEAK PEEK:

    "That flat, heavy feeling? It’s not always a lack of physical energy — sometimes it’s a lack of motivation, thanks to low dopamine.”

    So if you're tired of being tired — and sick of being told it's just stress, age, or being a busy mum — this episode is for you.

    Tap play and let’s get you one step closer to clearer mornings, better sleep, and more energy.

  • The messy midlife: why your body feels so different in perimenopause
    May 3 2025

    Feeling like a stranger in your own body lately?

    It’s not just "getting older" — and it’s definitely not "all in your head."

    In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really happening inside your body during perimenopause. We’ll talk about why it’s not just about your hormones dropping, but about the chaos and flux happening behind the scenes. You'll learn how your metabolism, mood, and body are changing, even when you feel like you’re doing “all the right things.” And I’ll explain why calories and cardio aren’t cutting it anymore — and what your body actually needs now.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The hormone shifts that cause more chaos (not just decline) in perimenopause
    • Why your body’s ability to adapt is the real game-changer
    • A high-level strategy to help you downgrade the hormonal rollercoaster without overhauling your whole life

    Sneak Peek:

    “You’re not broken. You’re in the messy middle — and with the right support, you can help your body adapt, thrive, and feel good again.”

  • What if PMS and pain aren’t normal?
    Apr 5 2025

    You’ve been told your whole life that your period is meant to be awful.
    Painful. Messy. Something you just have to put up with.
    But what if that’s not true?

    Because just like your blood pressure or body temperature, your period is a vital sign — and when you know how to read it, you can actually use it to feel better, not just dread it coming each month.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The signs that your period might be trying to tell you something — and how to start listening before things feel out of control.
    • What a truly healthy cycle looks like (hint: it’s not what most of us were taught)
    • Why things feel harder in your 40s — and how to support your body without overhauling your whole life

    Sneak Peek:

    “Every cycle, every bleed, every single symptom — or lack of symptoms — it’s all feedback from your body. And when you know how to interpret it, you can stop just surviving your cycle… and actually be pleasantly surprised by its arrival.”

    If your period feels like it’s running the show — or like your body is doing things you don’t understand — this episode is for you.

    Listen to Episode 88 now and start changing your cycle to a “new normal.”
