The Menopause Mindset

Often times, clients will see me for an assessment, they'll read their treatment plan and then quietly disappear.  It's like their mind convinces them that this is going to open up a whole world of trouble. Of course your mind does that!  It's standard.  It's doing exactly what it’s designed to do.  Protect you.  It wants to keep things predictable and contained.  So when the invitation to go deeper starts to become a possibility, it makes sense that your mind wants to pull you back.  It believes "this inner work malarky might be too much"  And yet, there’s another part of you which is quieter and deeper but just as important.  It's the part of you that knows an intervention is needed because it wants to release something, it wants to come home to itself.   In this week’s episode, I gently demystify what “doing the inner work” actually looks like in reality and why it doesn’t have to be as intense or overwhelming as you might imagineWork with me 121:  www.sallygarozzo.comJoin Becoming Waitlist:  www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming Send me a direct messageSupport the showSend me a direct messageSupport the show

Most menopause conversations focus almost entirely on hormones. But what if that’s only part of the story? In this episode, Sally Garozzo explores emerging neuroscience on estradiol, fear circuitry, and trauma exposure, including a 2025 study suggesting that estrogen interacts differently with the brain’s threat regulation system depending on prior stress and trauma history. We unpack why HRT helps many women but isn’t always the whole answer, how the nervous system shapes our menopausal experience, and why understanding the intersection of menopause, trauma, and nervous system regulation can offer a more complete picture of midlife wellbeing.Research referenced in this episodeStevens JS et al.

In this episode we explore what it's like when your 'felt sense' isn't believed especially in childhood and how this impacts our health and our menopause.  We look at how subtle, repeated invalidation shapes the quality of our attachments, why women often become the emotional regulators of their families, how functional freeze develops, and why menopause can feel like all of this unravels at once.  We also examine the difference between attunement and optimisation — and why healing begins with being met, not fixed.It's a good one for anyone who feels there's more to menopause than 'just' hormones.  ***********************Work with me 121:  www.sallygarozzo.comJoin Becoming Waitlist:  www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming Send me a direct messageSupport the show

I currently have six paint samples on my living room wall.  They are all technically blue. None of them are the same.  Which feels… symbolic.  In this episode, I’m thinking about menopause not as art and refinement. As the shift from fluorescent to tonal. From performance to composition.  There’s a turtle.  There’s London. There’s a river that looks like it’s meandering but absolutely knows where it’s going. And somewhere in the middle of all that: the quiet realisation that midlife might not be demolition, it might be editing.If you’ve ever stood in front of a wall thinking, “This one almost works… but not quite,” this conversation might feel familiar.Bring your undertones :)***************************✅T o put your name down on the waitlist for Becoming, here's the link:  www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming***************************📲 Connect with Sally:Email: [email protected] [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [Online Practitioners Diploma - Self Paced] Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/meno[One to One] Bespoke Transformational Hypnotherapy & Coaching: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/rapid-transformational-therapist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1Send me a direct messageSupport the show

The DUTCH test has become one of the most talked-about hormone assessments in the menopause space. Some women describe it as illuminating and empowering. Some medical professionals describe it as unnecessary, over-interpreted, or a waste of money.So why the disagreement?In this episode, I step back from the noise and explore what’s actually being argued. What assumptions sit underneath functional hormone testing? What assumptions sit underneath conventional medicine? And why does this debate feel so emotionally charged?Rather than taking sides, we look at the psychological and structural differences between these two paradigms — and what happens when menopausal women find themselves caught in the middle.If you’ve ever felt validated by testing… dismissed by medicine… or confused by the intensity of the conversation online, this episode is for you.Join the waitlist for BECOMING🔗 Join the waitlist:https://www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming*********************************************📲 Connect with Sally:Email: [email protected] [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [Online Practitioners Diploma - Self Paced] Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/meno[One to One] Bespoke Transformational Hypnotherapy & Coaching: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/rapid-transformational-therapist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1Send me a direct messageSupport the show

We live in a culture that rewards certainty.  In this episode, I reflect on the energy surrounding recent public controversies and ask a different question: what if moral outrage is sometimes a nervous system strategy rather than moral clarity?  Drawing on anxiety physiology, childhood conditioning, and midlife change, I explore how certainty can feel like safety, and why building capacity for uncertainty might be the real work as we step into midlife.  Join the waitlist for BECOMING🔗 Join the waitlist:https://www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming*********************************************📲 Connect with Sally:Email: [email protected] [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [Online Practitioners Diploma - Self Paced] Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/meno[One to One] Bespoke Transformational Hypnotherapy & Coaching: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/rapid-transformational-therapist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1Send me a direct messageSupport the show

There’s a kind of care that looks loving on the surface,  yet somehow leaves both the receiver and giver more tense than before.   This episode delves into this often unexplored territory.  It’s called ‘the discipline of not intervening’.  Of course I'm not talking about neglectfulness, but I am talking about healthy restraint.  And what becomes possible when silence and space are allowed to make room for the natural order of things to emerge.  If you’ve ever noticed yourself holding everything together,  or sensed the quiet cost of always stepping in,  this episode may be for you. ********************************************Join the waitlist for BECOMING🔗 Join the waitlist:https://www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming*********************************************📲 Connect with Sally:Email: [email protected] [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [Online Practitioners Diploma - Self Paced] Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/meno[One to One] Bespoke Transformational Hypnotherapy & Coaching: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/rapid-transformational-therapist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1Send me a direct messageSupport the show

We talk a lot about slowing down and how it's really good for us, but we talk much less about what it means to stay.  Like really stay.... without doing it for productivity gains.  This episode explores holding space for yourself,  not as a technique, but as a way of inhabiting yourself, experiencing yourself without the need to learn from it yet (and why that's really good for your HPA axis!)Join me for this short but profound episode. ******************‘Becoming’ is the new membership I’ve created for this phaseBecoming is a space for women in this in-between phase where old identities no longer fit, and new ones haven’t fully arrived yet.The waitlist is now open.🔗 Join the waitlist:https://www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming*********************************************📲 Connect with Sally:Email: [email protected] [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [Online Practitioners Diploma - Self Paced] Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/meno[One to One] Bespoke Transformational Hypnotherapy & Coaching: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/rapid-transformational-therapist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1Send me a direct messageSupport the show

What if menopause isn’t a breakdown, but a house renovation you’re living inside?In this episode, I reframe menopause in a way I wish someone had offered me. Not as decline. Not as loss. Not as something to “push through.”But as a neurological remodel happening in real time, while I’m still expected to function, work, parent, decide what cheese to buy, and hold everything together.No wonder it feels chaotic.What I share in this episode:Why menopause is not just hormonal, but deeply neurologicalHow fluctuating estrogen affects mood, memory, focus, and emotional regulationWhy brain fog, emotional sensitivity, and slower thinking are not failures, but signs of reorganizationWhat’s really happening when my tolerance for noise, pressure, people-pleasing, and nonsense disappearsHow the amygdala shifts and threat sensitivity gradually dials downWhy decisions feel slower, more embodied, and less driven by urgencyHow identity itself begins to shift during menopause, not collapseThe grief, the disorientation, and the unexpected clarity that emerges on the other sideWhy post-menopause often brings deeper contentment, discernment, and grounded leadershipIf you’re like me and feeling:Less sharp but more sensitiveSlower but more discerningLess tolerant of bullshitLess available for emotional labourMore interested in depth than surface-level busynessNothing has gone wrong.Something is reorganizing with intent.Join me!******************‘Becoming’ is the new membership I’ve created for this phaseBecoming is a space for women in this in-between phase where old identities no longer fit, and new ones haven’t fully arrived yet.The waitlist is now open.🔗 Join the waitlist:https://www.sallygarozzo.com/becoming*********************************************📲 Connect with Sally:Email: [email protected] [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [Online Practitioners Diploma - Self Paced] Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/meno[One to One] Bespoke Transformational Hypnotherapy & Coaching: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/rapid-transformational-therapist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1Send me a direct messageSupport the show

What if menopause isn’t something to manage…What if it’s something to participate in?In this deeply reflective solo episode, I return after time away with a radical reframe of what “mindset” actually means in menopause, and why the phrase has become so triggering, misunderstood, and frankly, unhelpful.Fresh from turning 50 and beginning my Clinical Hypnotherapy diploma, I share what it’s like to be in the middle of a personal and professional unlearning. Long-held beliefs are being questioned. Identities are softening. Certainty is giving way to curiosity.This isn’t a how-to episode.It’s a fireside conversation for women who feel something deeper is happening beneath the surface.In this episode, I explore:🧠 Why “just change your mindset” can feel dismissive and where that conversation breaks down🔍 What mindset actually means (and why it’s not positive thinking)🫀 How perception, nervous system safety, and hormones are in constant dialogue🌡️ Why you can’t think your way into more estrogen — but can influence how symptoms land in the body🔥 The biology behind hot flushes, stress, adrenaline, and the feedback loops that intensify symptoms🌀 What hypnotherapy really is (and no, it’s not stage hypnosis or mind control)🪞 Why menopause is a transition of identity, not just hormones🧳 How stress can exist even when life looks “fine” on paper🧩 Why perfectionism is often a trauma response — and why menopause dismantles it🌱 Menopause as compost: decay and renewal happening at the same time🤝 Why this stage of life asks for collaboration, not controlThis episode is for you if:😮‍💨 You’re tired of oversimplified menopause advice😬 You bristle at mindset talk but still feel drawn to something deeper🐢 You sense menopause is asking you to slow down, not push harder🤍 You want compassion, nuance, and honesty — not fixes🧬 You’re curious about the mind–body relationship without bypassing biologyA quiet announcementI introduce Becoming, a new membership space I’m creating, not to fix or optimize women in menopause, but to offer somewhere to be while identity, nervous system, and meaning are reorganizing.This is not a course.This is not a program.It’s a space for women who feel the shift and don’t want to rush through it.The waitlist is now open.

This conversation is not about ‘surviving’ menopause.It’s about claiming power, pleasure, and potency on the other side of it.Sally sits down with Carla Wainwright, holistic wellness coach, sexual awakening facilitator, and self-described midlife alchemist, for a deeply grounding, myth-shattering conversation about what really happens when women cross the threshold of midlife.With a background in biology, homeopathy, and over 30 years of embodiment work, Carla bridges science and the sacred in a way that feels both practical and deeply liberating. This isn’t woo for the sake of woo, and it’s not cold science either. It’s the place where metabolism, trauma, hormones, pleasure, and power actually meet.In this episode, we talk about why menopause is not a decline but a rite of passage. Why so many women feel unprepared for it, and why the years after perimenopause can become the most creative, sexually alive, and authentic chapter of a woman’s life…if she’s supported properly.Carla shares how her own journey — from wildlife biologist working with endangered species to guiding women through sexual healing and midlife transformation — came full circle when she entered perimenopause herself. What emerged was a model she calls sacred metabolism: tending not just to blood sugar and hormones, but to the nervous system, the inner child, and the feminine life force itself.We explore why unstable blood sugar can keep women stuck in fight-or-flight, amplify trauma, worsen menopausal symptoms, and quietly erode desire. Why pleasure isn’t indulgent. And why many women lose touch with intimacy, not because something is wrong with them, but because no one ever taught them how to stay connected to their bodies as they change.This episode also dives into sex in midlife — honestly, tenderly, and without shame. We talk about why desire changes, why stress is the ultimate libido killer, and why reconnection always starts with the relationship you have with yourself. No pressure to perform. No swinging from chandeliers. Just curiosity, safety, and choice.You’ll also hear:Why menopause can make women less people-pleasing and more clear about what they wantHow sexual energy shifts when menstruation ends — and why some traditions call this phase “the second spring.”The link between trauma resurfacing and perimenopauseWhy women initiate most divorces between 45–55How sacred feminine practices reconnect women to intuition, creativity, and embodied wisdomThe myths about menopause that quietly serve patriarchySimple daily practices that build momentum when you feel stuck in survival modeThis is a conversation about remembering who you are — in your body, in your desire, and in your power — at a stage of life that has been deeply misunderstood📲 Connect with Carla:Website: https://www.carlawainwright.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carlawainwright/Free Gift: https://www.carlawainwright.com/vibrancyguideSally's Links:Email: [email protected] [Free Guide] Healing The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtraumatheguide [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: Send me a direct messageSupport the show

As we know, menopause is not a downfall, it’s a metamorphosis, and Petra Coveney—former BBC journalist, founder of Menopause Yoga, bestselling author, and unapologetic menopause rebel—joined Sally to tear down every stale narrative about “the change.”And trust us… this conversation goes there.Petra went through perimenopause early, alone, confused, and dismissed by doctors who had nothing to offer her except a pat on the head and a “good luck.”The frustration, shame and rage… she tapped into all of it. And what came out of that fire?Menopause Yoga—the world’s first specialist yoga program built to support the physical, emotional, and psychological rollercoaster of perimenopause through second spring.In this episode, Petra breaks down:🔥 Why rage is a superpower (and what it’s trying to wake up in you)🔥 The moment she realized NO ONE was helping menopausal women—and why she decided she would🔥 The resistance she got from BOTH yoga studios and doctors (spoiler: everyone thought she was “too much”)🔥 Why community circles are non-negotiable for healing🔥 How yoga, breathwork, and evidence-based education can literally rewire your menopausal brain🔥 The truth about “brain fog” and why it might actually be your brain upgrading itself🔥 Why we need to stop whispering the word menopause and say it out loud—with pridePetra’s mission is bold:Break the taboo. Reclaim the narrative. Connect women back to their power.Menopause isn't an ending. It’s the doorway to your second spring—a phase of clarity, leadership, and fierce selfhood.If you’re in the weeds of perimenopause, waking up drenched, snapping at your loved ones, losing words in the middle of a meeting, or wondering “Is it just me?”—this episode will feel like a giant exhale.And if you’ve ever felt ashamed of these changes?Petra is here to hand you permission to drop that shame today.ORDER PETRA’S BOOK WITH AN EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNTGet Menopause Yoga and Wellbeing: A Daily Practice GuideUse the discount code: %PETRA25Only valid on the Singing Dragon shop.If you loved this episode…Share it with someone who needs to hear:“You are not losing yourself — you are becoming someone new.”📲 Connect with Petra:Website: www.menopause-yoga.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/menopause_yogaFacebook: Menopause YogaSally's Links:Email: [email protected] [Free Guide] Healing The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtraumatheguide [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [On-Demand Workshop] Redefine Your Values at Menopause and Live Life in Alignment With Them [£27]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/redefine [Online Practitioners Diploma - Self Paced] Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/meno[One to One] Bespoke Transformational Hypnotherapy & CoaSend me a direct messageSupport the show

In this episode, Sally sits down with Dr. Lara Briden, naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and Metabolism Repair for Women. She’s been called the period revolutionary—and after this conversation, you’ll understand exactly why.We talk about the massive paradox in women’s health:Society suddenly worships estrogen and progesterone when women hit their mid-40s……yet spent the last 60 years casually switching those same hormones off in teenage girls.Yep. We’re going there.What We Get IntoWhy regular ovulation is not just “nice to have” — it’s literally how young women make hormonesHow we got stuck in a 60-year loop of shutting down women’s ovarian function (hint: the pill’s “regulate your period” pitch started as a cover story)The weird disconnect between medical guidelines that say periods are a vital sign… and the normalization of medicating them awayWhat a healthy period actually looks like (spoiler: it shouldn’t hurt and it shouldn’t require you to white-knuckle your way through PMS)Why so many modern symptoms aren’t “women being women”—they’re the result of environment, lifestyle, and a system that never prioritized female physiologyAnd the big one: Did menopause evolve? Or is it some biological glitch because women are living longer?The Mic-Drop MomentsLara breaks down why menopause absolutely evolved on purpose—and why humans are more like killer whales than we thinkThe “grandmother effect” and why older women have always been essential for the survival of the tribeThe wild fact that among the Hadza, and other traditional-living communities, menopause brings zero symptomsThe reality that our cycles are meant to be signals, not punishmentsIf You’ve Ever Thought…“I guess this is just how my period is.”“This is normal for my age.”“Maybe my hormones just hate me.”…this episode might flip your worldview upside down (in a good way).About Dr. Lara BridenLara practices in Christchurch, New Zealand, helping women navigate PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and other hormone-health challenges.

Everything went wrong before this interview even started: lagging audio, frozen screens, “Can you hear me?” chaos… which, honestly, became the perfect metaphor for today’s topic: women being told to accept dysfunction as normal.And fittingly, this conversation marks a huge milestone — our 200th episode! Two hundred episodes of unlearning, reframing, and giving women permission to trust their bodies. And today’s guest delivers exactly that kind of truth.Because once Nicole Jardim (women’s health coach + author of Fix Your Period) finally got connected, she dropped a truth bomb most women never hear:👉 Statistically common doesn’t mean biologically normal.Cramps, mood swings, missing periods, heavy bleeding — we’ve been conditioned to believe it’s “part of being a woman.” Nicole is here to burn that narrative down.In this raw and revealing conversation, Nicole takes us back to where it all began — age 12, pads in the backpack, intuition on point — and then straight into the trauma, the chaos, and the hormonal storm that followed after the sudden death of her father. From survival-mode teen years to being handed the pill as a “solution,” Nicole walks us through the cascade of symptoms that no one connected to the pill, stress, genetics, detox pathways, or trauma.This episode breaks the script. We talk:Why period pain can be a red flagHow trauma + puberty + synthetic hormones created a perfect hormonal disasterThe COMT gene, stress metabolism, and why some women feel like live wiresWhy your period is basically your body’s early-warning systemThe hidden stressors no one warns women aboutWhy we’ve normalized suffering — and why that needs to endNicole doesn’t sugarcoat. She also doesn’t catastrophize. She reframes powerfully. Because the same genetic profile that makes you sensitive to stress might also be the source of your creativity, drive, memory, intuition, and fire.If you’ve ever been told to “just deal with it,” this episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about your cycle, your symptoms, and what your body has been trying to tell you for years.This is your permission slip to stop normalizing pain.And to start listening to your biology instead of fighting it.📲 Connect with Nicole:  Website: https://nicolejardim.com/Nicole’s Membership - The Fix Your Period Collective: https://www.fixyourperiod.com/Nicole’s Practitioner Program: https://instituteformenstrualhealth.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicolemjardim/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolemjardim/Sally's Links:Email: [email protected] [Free Guide] Healing The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtraumatheguide [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [On-Demand Workshop] Redefine Your Values at Menopause and Live Life in Alignment With Them [£27]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/redefine Send me a direct messageSupport the show

💥 THE DISRUPTIONForget the pastel “self-care” nonsense. This episode gets raw about perimenopause, womb work, and what it actually means to reclaim your creative power from the inside out.Sally sits down with Melanie Swan, a true rebel priestess of womb wisdom, healer, author, and embodiment guide, currently thriving (and sweating) her way through perimenopause in Northern Thailand.They dive deep into the real feminine: the kind that doesn’t float in flower crowns but breathes fire, bleeds with purpose, and knows when to pull the curtains, strip off the bra, and waft.⚡️ WHAT WE EXPLORE:Why Melanie left the chaos behind to do “absolutely nothing” and how that saved her sanityThe radical beauty of perimenopause as a pause from men, noise, and overdoingThe misunderstood magic of womb work and why it’s not just woo-woo poetryWhat the womb actually represents (spoiler: it’s way more than baby-making)How our cycles are ancient maps for creation, rest, and power if we’d only listenWhy “the feminine” isn’t all softness and how divine masculine energy lives inside us tooMelanie’s unfiltered take on Instagram spirituality and “the feminine is flowy” clichésIf you’ve ever felt the urge to burn everything down just to breathe, this conversation is your permission slip.It’s not about hormones or hot flashes; it’s about coming home to your body’s wisdom and reclaiming your sovereignty as a creator.🔥 ABOUT MELANIE SWANMelanie helps women heal the physical and metaphysical womb, restoring the divine balance of masculine and feminine energy. Currently writing her first book, The Sacred Womb, she lives in Northern Thailand, where she swims, writes poetry, and celebrates the art of doing absolutely nothing.📲 Connect with Melanie:  Website: https://www.thesacredwomb.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_sacred_wombFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesacredwombmswanSally's Links:[Free Guide] Healing The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtraumatheguide [On-Demand Masterclass] How To Heal The Trauma Underlying Your Menopause Symptom Severity [£17]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/healingtrauma [On-Demand Workshop] Redefine Your Values at Menopause and Live Life in Alignment With Them [£27]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/redefine [Online Practitioners Diploma - Self Paced] Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/meno[One to One] Transformational 30 Day Rewire (Includes RTT) [£497]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/redefine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a voice clip via WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1Send me a direct messageSupport the show

Forget everything you think you know about periods. This conversation blows the lid off the cultural conditioning, shame, and linear thinking we’ve been fed, and replaces it with a radical new paradigm: menstruality as a source of power, creativity, leadership, and spiritual awakening.In this episode, Sally sits down with Alexandra Pope & Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, the visionary co-founders of Red School and co-authors of Wild Power and Wise Power. With over 60 years of combined experience, they’re not just talking about women’s health; they’re pioneering a whole new language and leadership model rooted in the menstrual cycle.🔍 What We ExploreThe Calling Within – Alexandra shares how deep menstrual pain cracked her open to a deeper intelligence, triggering a spiritual awakening that’s governed her life’s work. Menopause, she says, didn’t slow her; it unleashed her.Creativity Flowing Through the Cycle – Sjanie describes how regaining her cycle post-contraception reconnected her to intuition, emotional truths, and her life’s purpose. The menstrual cycle became a living conduit for creativity and confidence.Four Inner Seasons = Four Powers – How menstruation (inner winter), pre-ovulation (spring), ovulation (summer), and pre-menstruum (autumn) mirror nature, and how honoring these phases restores your inner ecology and breaks the burnout cycle of “more is better.”Death, Rebirth & the Menopause Initiation – The transition into menopause is a profound psychological death. Surrendering to it allows a rebirth into your most powerful, purpose-filled chapter.From Inner to Outer Evolution – When you reclaim your cyclical nature, you deepen empathy, reorient your relationship with nature, and become a catalyst for collective change. It’s not just personal, it’s planetary.🎯 Why This Conversation Is a Must-ListenIf you’ve ever felt pressure to hide, suppress, or push through your cycle, this episode flips that paradigm. Alexandra and Sjanie are not simply reframing menstruation; they’re inviting you into a radical new way of living, leading, and creating, one that is cyclical, embodied, and in harmony with nature.This is not about coping.This is about activating the wild, wise power that’s always been inside you.🔗 Want to Go Deeper?If this conversation lights something in you and you’re ready to step into more understanding, embodiment, and power around menopause and the cycle, I invite you to explore Menopause: The Great Awakener by Red School.

Join me and Nikki Scott who is a women's health and fitness coach specializing in postnatal recovery and pelvic floor health using hypopressives.   In this conversation we talk about some of the alarming and frankly ineffective treatments prescribed for pelvic floor issues today.  We talk about why hypopressives work and why it’s a gentler approach to pelvic floor rehab.  We chat about why ignoring any kind of pelvic health dysfunction before menopause can be unhelpful and what paying attention to the posterior chain of muscles and fascia can do for your health.This is an incredibly beneficial conversation for everyone with female sexual organs!Nikki’s Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ukhypopressivesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ukhypopressives/Website: www.ukhypopressives.comSally's Links:[Free] Relaxation Hypnosis Recording:  https://bit.ly/relaxationwithsallyHow to Create Phenomenal Self Esteem [£47]:  https://www.sallygarozzo.com/selfesteemMenopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127] https://www.sallygarozzo.com/menoCold Water Therapy Practitioner [£127] https://www.sallygarozzo.com/coldTransformational 30 Day Rewire (Includes RTT) [£447]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/rapid-transformational-therapistTransformational Trauma Informed Coaching [From £197]:  https://www.sallygarozzo.com/transformational-coaching Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a voice clip via What’s App - https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1Send me a direct messageSupport the show

Join me and Catherine Harland, a menopause coach, as we dive into her personal journey of navigating menopause and the impact of chronic stress and trauma on menopausal symptoms. She chats about her corporate life and how menopause affected her career. She also delves into the role of trauma and the dysregulated nervous system in exacerbating menopausal symptoms and how we cannot avoid addressing this area of our own lives if we want to improve our menopausal experience. We also chat about the impact of processed food and the challenges faced by women in prioritizing their own needs. We talk about the ongoing nature of the healing journey itself and we discuss our favorite tools for regulating the nervous system which will hopefully inspire other women needing to feel that inner calm. If you’re ready to take your menopause knowledge to the next level, do come and join us.Catherine’s Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/menopausementor_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MenopauseMentorX (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/meno_mentorWebsite: https://www.menopausementor.uk/Sally's Links:[Free] Relaxation Hypnosis Recording:  https://bit.ly/relaxationwithsallyHow to Create Phenomenal Self Esteem [£47]:  https://www.sallygarozzo.com/selfesteemMenopause Wellbeing Practitioner [£127] https://www.sallygarozzo.com/menoCold Water Therapy Practitioner [£127] https://www.sallygarozzo.com/coldTransformational 30 Day Rewire (Includes RTT) [£447]: https://www.sallygarozzo.com/rapid-transformational-therapistTransformational Trauma Informed Coaching [From £197]:  https://www.sallygarozzo.com/transformational-coaching Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/sallygarozzomindmentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sallygarozzo/Send me a voice clip via What’s App - https://wa.me/message/FTARBMO7CRLEL1 Send me a direct messageSupport the show
