In this episode of Empower Your Menopause, James and Juli from Fabulous Beyond 40 delve into a topic that might make you wonder how it’s related to menopause, and then will likely surprise you when you see how closely the two are linked. This week is all about Decluttering, and why it’s not just about your wardrobe.

We’re diving into how the stuff around us affects the stuff inside us, whether that’s our hormones, stress, brain fog, our emotional wellbeing, or all of those things together.

If you consider yourself to be a bit of a clutterbug or even a borderline hoarder sometimes, there’s no shame. We’re here to share some insight, empathy, and ideas to help you feel a little lighter, inside and out.

Join our 360° Feel Better Challenge

Starting on September 15th, 2025, we’ll be hosting our new, free 360° Feel Better Challenge.

Now that summer’s over, the kids are back at school, and routines are settling in again, it’s the perfect moment to focus on you. And that’s exactly what this challenge is designed to help you do.

Over five days, we’ll cover the five key pillars of feeling better in midlife — how you think, eat, move, relax, and sleep. Each day you’ll get a short live training with us, a small but powerful action to put into practice, bonus content, and an action guide to keep you on track — all inside a private Facebook group where you’ll be supported every step of the way. 

And because we love a bit of fun, there’s also a prize draw. Complete your action guide scorecard, send it back to us, and you’ll be in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes, including a three-month VIP membership of Club Fabulous Beyond 40, worth almost £500 or $650.

In this episode coaches James and Juli from Fabulous Beyond 40 talk about something that we seem to be hearing a lot lately, and that’s women in midlife feeling invisible. Tired. Under-appreciated. And like they’ve lost a bit of themselves in the chaos.

So here we talk about how menopause can shake your sense of identity and self-worth, and how to reclaim it.

Welcome back to Empower Your Menopause — the show that helps you navigate health, hormones, and happiness so you can thrive in midlife. 
In this episode coaches Juli and James dive into a conversation that glows — quite literally.

Because let’s be honest, midlife can sometimes feel like a warzone between what’s happening inside your body and what’s showing up in the mirror. But what if ageing didn’t have to feel like a slow decline? What if it could actually be a power move?

We’re joined by the brilliant Dr Lubna Khan-Salim — a former NHS plastic and reconstructive surgeon who now specialises in longevity, regenerative aesthetics, and helping women feel fabulous in their skin again. As the founder of Bloom Longevity Labs, she’s leading a new wave of science-backed, deeply personal approaches to beauty and health — no fillers, filters, or fluff required.

Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast where we talk about all things health, hormones, and happiness for women over 40.
In this episode, coaches James and Juli from Fabulous Beyond 40 talk about how when it comes to movement over 40, your brain is just as much a part of the equation as your bones and muscles.

In this episode, we go beyond burpees to talk about how movement literally rewires your brain for better focus, sharper memory, and even protection against cognitive decline. So if you’ve ever said, “I don’t have time to exercise,” this might just change your mind — and protect it, too.

Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast where we talk about all things health, hormones, and happiness for women over 40. We’re coaches James and Juli from Fabulous Beyond 40, excited to be here with you today for a tasty new topic — menopause-friendly snacks.

Snacking tends to get a bad rap. But if you're navigating perimenopause or post-menopause, skipping meals and ignoring hunger cues is a fast track to fatigue, cravings, and mood swings. So in this episode, we’re breaking down how smart mini-meals can help with everything from blood sugar balance to symptom load reduction to brain function — and what actually works.

Book your Menopause Impact Assessment call 

Our 45-minute Menopause Impact Assessment coaching session is where clarity begins. In our session we'll use a validated symptom assessment — not a guess, not a trend — to help you understand exactly how menopause is affecting your body, mind, and daily life. Then we’ll help you create a personalised, practical plan to start feeling better.

Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast where we talk about all things health, hormones, and happiness for women over 40. We’re coaches James and Juli from Fabulous Beyond 40, and today we’re addressing a topic that can be incredibly  frustrating for women throughout all stages of the menopause transition. We’re talking about brain fog.

So, if you’ve ever forgotten the word for thingy, walked into a room and blanked, or stared at a spreadsheet like it was ancient Sanskrit… you're not alone.

Brain fog during perimenopause and post-menopause is very real, and for many women, it’s scary.

We’re talking today about what causes it, why it happens, and what you can actually do about it. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about memory.

Feel as though you need some help? Book our Menopause Impact Assessment call

Over 45 minutes we take you though a validated symptom assessment tool so we can see where you are right now, and set some clear goals so you know where you want to go.

We’re look at what’s working so you can build on it

And we’ll troubleshoot what’s not so you have your first steps to work on.

Welcome back to Empower Your Menopause — the podcast where we help you navigate health, hormones, and happiness so you can thrive in midlife.

This is our 50th episode and in this one Coaches James and Juli are joined by two of our special friends to talk about a topic that hits home for a lot of women, especially in midlife: boundaries.

Not just the kind where you’re told to just say no, but the deeper emotional boundaries that protect your energy, your peace, and yes, your hormones too. 

Our guests are Dene and Julie from Streetwise Defence — who specialise in personal safety, confidence-building, and real-world strategies that help you stand taller, speak clearer, and stop saying yes when you mean hell no.

Let’s get into it.

Welcome to Empower Your Menopause—the podcast that helps you take charge of your health, hormones, and happiness. We’re your coaches, Juli and James, from Fabulous Beyond 40, and today’s episode is part gentle reminder, part necessary tough love.

We’re talking about making time for you, and finding ways to prioritise joy in your life. And no, this isn’t a fluffy chat about bubble baths and spa days—although we love those too. This is about the kind of joy and self-support that fuels your health, strengthens your relationships, and gives you the energy to actually live the life you’re building.

So, if your first thought was, “yeah, yeah, self-care, blah, blah, heard it all before…” then hang tight. Because if you’ve been putting yourself last for years, this is no longer a luxury. It’s survival. And the sooner you make space for yourself, the healthier and happier your midlife (and beyond) will be.

Book your Menopause Impact Assessment coaching call 

We’ve just launched our Menopause Impact Assessment coaching sessions. 

This is a new service where we take you through a validated questionnaire to ascertain your symptom load so you know exactly where you are in your menopause journey. 

We use the results of that to then work with you to find out where you want to get to, we look at what you already have in place to work towards that, but more importantly where your gaps are so you can start working on things straight away. 

The calls last around 45 minutes and the cost is just £23 - which is around $32.
