from Happy Thriving Mums | Self Care tips and Inspiration for Health, Happiness and Fitness in Motherhood · host Amanda Reidy | Perimenopause Coach, Radiate Fitness

Perimenopause can be a time of discomfort—hot flushes, brain fog, low energy, and a sense of being stuck in a familiar but draining routine. But what if the path to feeling better starts by leaning into that discomfort rather than avoiding it?In this episode, Amanda explores why lasting change often requires us to step outside our comfort zones and challenge the habits, beliefs and routines that are no longer serving us. Amanda discusses why we often cling to a "familiar hell" rather than risk the uncertainty of change, even when we know something needs to shift.You'll learn why discomfort is often a sign of growth, how small changes can build confidence over time, and practical ways to start creating healthier habits that support you through perimenopause and beyond.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated that things aren't improving, this episode will encourage you to take that first brave step towards the life and health you truly want.In This Episode You'll LearnWhy we often stay stuck in familiar patterns, even when they're making us unhappyHow discomfort can be a powerful catalyst for personal growthThe connection between confidence and taking actionWhy small, consistent changes are more effective than drastic overhaulsHow to build trust in yourself during perimenopausePractical ways to embrace change without feeling overwhelmedKey Takeaways✨ Growth rarely happens inside your comfort zone.✨ Confidence is built through action, not before it.✨ Small steps taken consistently create lasting transformation.✨ Perimenopause can be an opportunity for reinvention, not just survival.✨ The discomfort of change is often temporary, but the rewards can last a lifetime.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with a friend who might need this message today.Remember: the life you want may be waiting just beyond the discomfort you're avoiding. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇✨ Sign up for my newsletter 💖and I’ll share my favourite simple tips to support you wherever you are in your perimenopause and motherhood journey.Every fortnight I share inspiration, ideas and easy ways to become a happier, healthier version of yourself - not perfect, but in love with all your imperfections.Let's team up to support each other because when Mums Support Mums, we can be the best version of ourselves and that is great for everyone 💕💕⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribepage.io/radiatefitness-and-happy-thriving-mums-newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋Say hi 👋Linkedin: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.linkedin.com/in/amandareidyradiatefitness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/radiatefitnessuk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556581364525 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.radiatefitness.co.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
