    Too often, women shrink themselves—holding back opinions, avoiding risks, and staying small to keep others comfortable. But at what cost? In this episode, I sit down with MP Jenna Sudds, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development*, to talk about the exhaustion of playing small, and why stepping into our full potential—whether in leadership, work, or everyday life—is essential for women’s well-being.

    We discuss why more women are needed in leadership (not just in politics), how to handle criticism when you take up space, and why speaking up and taking risks can actually be energizing. Whether you’re leading a team, advocating for change, or simply trying to show up more fully in your own life, this conversation is for you.

    Key takeaways:
    • Why playing small is draining and how stepping into leadership can actually be energizing.
    • The urgent need for more women in politics and the unique perspectives they bring.
    • How Minister Sudds navigates public criticism and stays true to her values.
    • What she’d tell her daughters if they aspired to a political career.
    Tune in for an inspiring conversation about embracing courage, taking up space, and leading with confidence.

    28. The One Where You Just Don’t Feel Like Yourself
    Mar 26 2025
    Feeling off but not sure why? Mood swings, low energy, and brain fog are often brushed off as “just stress” or “getting older,” but they could actually be signs of perimenopause. In this episode, Dr. Sarah unpacks the complex relationship between hormone shifts, mental health, and fatigue—so you can stop wondering What’s wrong with me? And start feeling like yourself again.

    Key Takeaways:

    🔹 The Mood Shift in Perimenopause
    • Nearly 45-70% of women experience mood changes or depression during this phase.
    • Hormonal fluctuations play a huge role, but they’re not the whole story.
    🔹 More Than Just Hormones: The Biopsychosocial Model

    Dr. Sarah breaks down the three key areas affecting mood:
    • Biological: Nutrient deficiencies (Vitamin D, B12, Iron), thyroid health, blood sugar, inflammation, and sleep apnea.
    • Psychological: Past struggles with depression, thought patterns, and coping mechanisms.
    • Social: Relationships, support systems, and the pressure to “keep it together.”
    🔹 Getting the Right Diagnosis
    • Fatigue isn’t always depression—nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalances can mimic mental health conditions.
    • Testing is crucial before jumping to medications or dismissing symptoms.
    🔹 Treatment Options That Work
    • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): A game-changer if mood issues are hormone-related.
    • Antidepressants: More effective when paired with estrogen therapy (for some women).
    • Exercise: One of the most powerful natural antidepressants.
    🔹 The Power of Community & Self-Compassion
    • Your mental health isn’t just about your biology—stress, relationships, and support systems matter.
    • Therapy, boundary-setting, and leaning on your community can be just as important as supplements and prescriptions.
    Final Thoughts & Next Steps

    You don’t have to suffer in silence. Understanding what’s really going on with your mood gives you the power to take action. If you’re struggling, start by getting the right tests, exploring treatment options, and surrounding yourself with support.
