  • Busting The Four Myths That May Be Hijacking Your Menopause Journey

    Busting The Four Myths That May Be Hijacking Your Menopause Journey
    Dec 24 2025
    Are you tired of being told "It's just your age" or "You're probably stressed" while your body feels like it's been hijacked? In this episode, Michelle drops the taboos and tackles four common myths that mislead women and even health professionals about perimenopause and menopause. Discover the scientific truth about when the hormonal transition can truly begin (spoiler: it's often earlier than you think), and why a "normal" blood test doesn't mean your symptoms are imaginary. Most critically, she addresses the fear surrounding HRT, clarifying the risks and benefits of modern body-identical treatments. By the end of this episode, you will have the knowledge to advocate for yourself! Michelle Reveals How the hormonal transition is driven by ovarian aging and fluctuating hormones, not a birthday rulebook. How a single blood test that catches a normal moment in between the storms does not mean your symptoms are dismissed or that "nothing is happening" Why society has defined menopause by the hot flash stereotype, yet around 30% of women never get them. How perimenopause can present in countless other ways, including severe anxiety, brain fog, joint pain, mood swings, and gut/skin changes How the pervasive fear surrounding Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) originates from a badly reported and interpreted 2002 study (the Women's Health Initiative) that used older, synthetic forms on a generally older, higher-risk population Why all women deserve conversations and informed choice, not shame or scare tactics BEST MOMENTS "Imagine being told that when you feel like your entire personality has been hijacked by a deranged hormonal demon." "Your body doesn't read the textbooks to find out when it should start perimenopause, and it knows what stage of life it is in, even if the healthcare system is still catching up." "Your blood test isn't living your life. You are." "The myth that has overstayed its welcome by about two decades... If misinformation was furniture, this one would be the mouldy armchair we should have thrown out years ago." HOST BIO Michelle is a highly respected Physiotherapist and Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner with over two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry.

  • Asking The Big Question: Is It Personality, or ADHD & Menopause?

    Asking The Big Question: Is It Personality, or ADHD & Menopause?
    Dec 17 2025
    Welcome to an enlightening episode where we challenge a lifetime of self-doubt, while giving you two podcasts for the price of one. Michelle and her guest, Jami Shapiro, the founder of Silver Linings Transitions, author of This Explains So Much, and host of the Grandma Has ADHD podcast engage in a unique and revealing conversation for both podcasts, about how a whole generation of women have been missed or misdiagnosed because ADHD symptoms in girls and women present differently than in hyperactive boys, often leading to internal struggles and burnout rather than visible behavioural issues. Jami's journey of discovery in midlife, prompted by her child's diagnosis, has sparked a massive "lightbulb moment" for thousands of women finally connecting the dots between their struggles and ADHD, especially as they navigate perimenopause and menopause. This episode offers powerful validation for anyone who has felt foggy, forgetful, emotional, or drained, or who has spent their entire life masking their true self just to cope. Listen to a conversation full of honesty, expert insights, and the deep, shared relief of finally understanding what’s really been going on. Jami Reveals How many women are only now discovering their ADHD because their symptoms often involved internalising struggles Why women with ADHD are more likely to experience severe PMS or PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) Why hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can intensify existing ADHD symptoms, making them more noticeable How the lack of recognition for female ADHD is tied to historical societal pressures for women to "hold it together." Why this legacy links back to figures who were often institutionalised or even persecuted for behaviours now associated with midlife hormonal changes and neurodiversity How finding out about ADHD later in life can bring a period of grief, but also immense relief and acceptance. BEST MOMENTS "The reason you felt scattered, sensitive, or like you're just too much your whole life wasn't personality, but undiagnosed ADHD made worse by hormonal shifts." "You have been cobbling it together your entire life. Like, you didn't even know that you were building accommodations for yourself." "There's a forgiveness that comes, a gentleness that comes with yourself. That grace." "Don't try and get that person who you were before. You're evolving. You want to literally look forward and say, 'Right, who am I now?'"

  • How to Stop Running on Empty and Reclaim Your Energy in Midlife - with Philippa Scott

    How to Stop Running on Empty and Reclaim Your Energy in Midlife - with Philippa Scott
    Dec 10 2025
    In this deeply compassionate no-nonsense episode, Michelle speaks with Philippa Scott, a therapist who knows exactly what it's like to be a high-performer quietly burning out behind the scenes. Philippa shares her personal journey through two major burnouts, the intense struggle of navigating parenthood and perimenopause, and why traditional self-care and mindset tools simply didn't work for her. They explore the mind-body connection, why your old trauma might be sabotaging your energy today, and how to finally break free by teaching your unconscious brain that you are safe now. Get ready to learn how to reclaim your energy, rewrite your story, and step into the powerful woman you were always meant to be Philippa Discusses The signs of burnout women often miss, including brain fog, decision fatigue, and feeling stuck in destructive thinking patterns that blur reality. How the Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) differs from traditional therapy like hypnosis by using the language of your unconscious The 'cake analogy': why ignoring the deep inner work is like trying to bake a perfect cake in a dirty kitchen, making everything harder and less effective. The significant shift from being in 'life creation mode' to 'wisdom giving mode' in midlife How old trauma patterns related to key transitions like menarche, birth, or relationships can affect how we physically do menopause. The power of teaching women to prioritise their own health and needs so they can give their best to their family, rather than their 'dregs'. BEST MOMENTS "Your system is doing the very best it can to keep you safe. So you are not broken. You're just running old software." "I was flogging myself for a workplace that did not rely on me the way my kids and my family relied on me." "We lose clarity in lots of areas of our life, and we feel stuck, or we feel like we can't move forward in any way." "You are not broken. Your old software and your old programming needs updating, and we need to turn off some of the programs that are running in the background that are causing you to sabotage yourself."
