We discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with good friends, overcoming fears of abandonment, and building strong support networks through life's challenges.Finally, Roxy shares the inspiration behind YogaRox, her passion for helping others through movement and mindfulness, and the practices that help her stay grounded.00:00 Intro01:00 House of Hormones listeners loved Roxy's first episode02:00 Why women need to prioritise themselves05:00 The pressures women face growing up10:00 Finding trustworthy health information13:00 Why sleep should be a top priority15:00 Dancing on Ice20:00 Pregnancy, C-sections and emergency appointments24:00 Entering perimenopause28:00 Friendship and keeping the right people around you40:00 Fear of abandonment45:00 What is YogaRox?From perimenopause and sleep to friendship, self-care, motherhood, and personal growth, this episode is packed with honest insights and practical wisdom for women navigating every stage of life.
