Hello and welcome to the last episode of session 2. I am so grateful to all of my listeners and I thank you so much for tuning in each week.

Today I cover whether being fine really is fine? How do you really feel and do you really allow your true feelings to be valid?

Facing feelings of being Invisible or unhappy with the way you look. Midlife and menopause can bring so many different emotions that we struggle with. Learning to love yourself is key. Something that can be difficult for some.

I really hope you enjoy and I truly hope you find my podcast helpful and fun.

I am inviting you to write to me so I can talk about anything you’re unsure of about symptoms or anything that is menopause. You would be so welcome to have a chat with me on here too. Yes as my guest!

Or maybe you’d like to come on my yoga retreat?

‘You Are Not Alone’

Welcome back or hello if you’re new to my podcast.

Most episodes go into menopause in quite a lot of depth. This one is a little different, it’s simply living midlife to the full. Definitely a lesson to be learnt.

I am so lucky to meet all the lovely ladies I get to talk to on here, and today is no exception and there are plenty of moments I actually forgot I was recording a podcast.

My wonderful guests are certainly a force to reckon with and an absolute delight.

Rants and Big Pants...Like all families, are opposites in every way and that’s why they have lasted as long as they have. 

Their little duo has been going strong for eighteen years. Most certainly in my eyes a ‘Superhero Duo’

People often ask them; “What is your secret to friendship”?... “Ours is simple” they tell me…

We never argue but we do shout at each other... a lot!  

They figured out long ago that the person who is the loudest is the one who thinks they’re right… but mainly when they’re together there is one winning ingredient… they laugh… at life, at each other, at Neens’ inability to get words of a song correct,and at dB for her rants about everything and anything. 

Neens is a veteran of the singing circuit having started off as a Redcoat at Butlins and loves a bit of Car-aoke and dB is (finally!!!) on the verge of releasing her first novel.

‘You Are Not Alone’

Hello lovely listeners, I love that you are here with me and as always love that I can offer you some guidance through your peri & menopause years.

Today I am delighted to Introduce you to ‘The Real Hormone Fairy’ Yep! She does exist and has joined me today to share her story.

Cat Armor is a Qualified Homeopath, Hypnotherapist and Certified Menopause Health Coach, specialising in Hormone Testing and Imbalances and natural solutions to the Peri and Post Menopause.

Just before her 40th Birthday, Cat started to feel like her clients! She was showing signs of early Peri Menopause – Mood swings, night sweats, weight gain, rocky relationships, irregular periods.  She was shocked to have these symptoms so early but was seeing more clients in their early 40’s struggling in her clinic.

That’s why she created “The Hormone Fairy” for women like you and quite frankly like her, who needed to understand what the hell was happening to their bodies and gain back control over their hormones and their mind.

It is that time to:

Hello listeners and thank you for joining me again.

Do you find reaching midlife, you just don’t care what other people think? It’s time you really start doing exactly what you want to do? I certainly have got to that point in my life.

My wonderful guest today feel’s exactly that too…she doesn’t care what others think of her and that is a powerful way to live.

Lindsy Beveridge, works with midlife women to support their hormone, gut, cognitive and mental health through nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

Her personal history of overcoming an alcohol addiction, a nicotine addiction and binge eating has led her to have a special interest in working with people who struggle with alcohol or other damaging substances or behaviours. 

Lindsey works with clients to discover why we do what we do to manage stress and emotions, and then work to change patterns of behaviour.

Since qualifying as a nutritional therapist in 2019 Lindsey has helped 100s of people quit drinking, and/or lose their sugar habit or change damaging behaviours. She has helped them implement positive changes to their diet and lifestyle so they can feel better.

It’s wonderful to talk to such a powerful woman who overcame so much and it was along side going through peri menopause. Anxiety goes through the roof and symptoms are exacerbated. You will learn so much from her. She encourages you to take an honest look at your life!

Hello wonderful listeners and thank you so much for joining me again on this midlife journey that is menopause.

Today I am covering what can be a really sensitive symptom for some women -’Sex’ or should I say ‘lack of it’

If your sex life is slowing down due to menopause, you don’t have to accept it as an inevitable part of getting older. Everyone deserves to have a satisfying sex life, if that is important to you.

Let’s help find your mojo!

For many women loss of libido can be one of the more challenging and upsetting symptoms to cope with.

Many women can often find it really difficult to broach the subject with their partner. It is so important to communicate due to the damage it could potentially cause in an otherwise wonderful relationship.

It really isn’t easy for any couple, but it’s talking to your partner that will help them understand how it is for you and how you are feeling. It’s talking openly that could ultimately help to reintroduce intimacy into your relationship and maybe more sex.

So my lovely listeners you can message me on Instagram: Letlifebeyoga or email: [email protected] with any questions or concerns and for now…
