    Breaking Patterns That Keep You Small: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
    Jul 9 2025
    Ever wonder why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns? Why you apologize for everything, even when it's not your fault? Or why you logically understand what needs to change but emotionally can't get there?Dr. Justine Corry, trauma-informed relationship coach and former clinical psychologist, explains why this happens - and how to break free from these patterns for good.In this powerful conversation, Dr. Corry introduces schema therapy, a game-changing approach that looks at patterns rather than symptoms. She explains how childhood experiences create mental frameworks (schemas) that influence how we show up in relationships, and why perimenopause triggers these patterns in overwhelming ways.Each episode will share life stories and expert insight into women's health and your perimenopause and menopause journey.In this episodeWhat schema therapy is and why understanding patterns is more powerful than managing symptomsThe six common schemas plaguing high-achieving women: abandonment, emotional deprivation, defectiveness, self-sacrifice, subjugation, and unrelenting standardsWhy perimenopause acts as a schema trigger, making it harder to power through life while ignoring your needsHow to recognize when you're having a "schema trigger" vs. a rational responseWhy self-trust and self-respect are the best antidepressants you've never triedThe difference between being "self-led" vs. constantly seeking external validationHow long real pattern change takes (spoiler: it's not quick, but it's worth it)Practical tools like the SIFT exercise to understand your emotional responses in real timeThere's always a "why" behind your emotions, even when you can't see it.

Through a powerful blend of schema therapy, nervous system wisdom, and sharp emotional insight, Dr. Corry helps women rebuild self-trust, reclaim their voice, and step into lives where they no longer have to shrink to belong.Her signature 5-step Relationship Reinvention Method guides women to understand their self-sabotaging patterns, prioritise their emotional needs, and create relationships that feel balanced, respectful, and real. What sets Justine apart is her ability to help smart, self-aware women who’ve already done the work bridge the gap between knowing what’s wrong and finally doing something different. Whether they’re navigating the aftermath of divorce or separation or leading in business and life while secretly battling patterns like over-functioning, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, Justine helps women unravel the emotional blueprints that kept them stuck, so they can thrive in love, leadership, and self-trust from the inside out.Dr. Corry’s Signature Program: Your Relationship Reinvention is a 6-month group experience for women navigating life after divorce, separation, or a significant breakup. It’s designed to help you break the patterns that no longer serve you (like people-pleasing, poor boundaries, and over-functioning) so you can rebuild self-trust and create a life that feels grounded, honest, and fully yours.

  • Getting Fired Up with Shirley Weir: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey

    Getting Fired Up with Shirley Weir: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
    Jun 25 2025

    The OG menopause trailblazer is back on The TIP Podcast to share what she’s been up to. And she’s been busy. In the last year Shirley Weir has launched a new platform called The Nest, a soft place for Menopause Chicks to land and her Facebook group hit 59,0000 members.


    Shirley worked with the Women’s Health Research Network in BC to support the HER-BC study, investigating the health experiences of midlife women and the impacts of menopause. She created Speak Menopause, to help us focus on the agency we each have when it comes to decisions about our own health.


    And never one to rest on her laurels, on her birthday she crafted a list of the 58 things she wants to see change in women’s health in the next 42 years, before she turns 100. Today she’s giving us a sneak peek and inspiring us to help make her list a reality.


    In This Episode

    • Less than 7% of all health research dollars are allocated to women’s research, and that number has not changed in 13 years
    • Why our medical providers need at least as much information, direction, and input as we provide to our hairdressers
    • Why Shirley is done with the pervasive gatekeeping in women’s health
    • Why we all need to take recurring UTIs more seriously, and
    • The alarming numbers involved in Pad Math: incontinence pads are meant to be temporary, not a solution.


    We all deserve to feel amazing. Thank you, Shirley, for your dedication to helping us figure out how to make that happen.
