"After cuddle party training, I had a clean ‘no’ in my back pocket."

Hello, my loves. In this episode, I sit down with Tamara the Brave — bodyworker, mentor, and one of the most grounded women I’ve met. She speaks from the earth up. And this conversation is exactly that: rooted and real.

Tamara shares what menopause has been teaching her. We talk about radical self-responsibility, the cost of self-abandonment, and how most of us weren’t taught to rest — we were taught to burn out.

We also get stuck into:

- My unhinged moment with a parking officer

- The wisdom of cuddle parties

- The stuff women in their 20s, 30s and 40s need know about menopause

- Leaving the corporate world with a fried nervous system

- The danger of chasing peak experiences

- Getting honest about the difference between rest and collapse

This episode might not give you the answers — but it’ll inspire you to stop outsourcing them. It'll remind you to slow down, give you a good idea of what to start taking care of now while you're full of oestrogen, and offer one woman’s account of finding sovereignty.
