Perimenopause & Motherhood: Real Life Wellbeing for Happy Thriving Mums

Do you feel like your body is becoming softer and your strength is fading even when you’re doing the same things you’ve always done? 

In this episode we’re reframing the reason to exercise. There is still a hangover from the 1990s/2000s that cardio is queen and the only reason to exercise is to lose weight, but we’re moving away from this. 

The trend is now (gratefully) growing towards focus on how we move and what we do building an unwavering foundation to make us more ‘age proof’.

We explore the biology of why your old gym routine or endless cardio might be leaving you exhausted and why focus should be placed on gaining power & strength now, throughout perimenopause and beyond. 

What we cover:

• The real reason you feel weaker physically and why it has nothing to do with age and everything to do with hormones.

• The Cardio Trap: Why long, gruelling runs might be spiking your cortisol and keeping the "menopause middle" in place.

• 3 Practical Power Tools: How to build a body that feels capable and resilient without spending hours in the gym.

It’s time to change the narrative: don’t exercise to get smaller or eat what you like, train to become more capable of carrying the life you want to lead.

Do you feel strong and focused in the morning only to hit a wall around 4pm?

That late-afternoon crash—irritability, cravings, brain fog, and exhaustion—is one of the most common (and misunderstood) experiences in perimenopause.

In this episode, Amanda helps explain what your body is really asking for when your energy suddenly drops.

We explore:

• How oestrogen influences blood sugar regulation and insulin function

• Why fluctuating hormones can lead to energy spikes and crashes

• The connection between cortisol, stress, and blood glucose imbalance

• Why brain fog, cravings, and fatigue are often “fuel problems,” not willpower problems

• How chronic blood sugar instability can contribute to inflammation and long-term health risk

Most importantly, she discusses the idea of creating a shift from restriction to nourishment.

You’ll learn how to stabilise energy using simple but powerful foundations including:

👉 Why protein is essential for steady blood sugar and hormone support

👉 How to build balanced meals that prevent spikes and crashes

👉 Why long gaps between meals can worsen fatigue and cravings

This episode is about moving from “getting through the day” to feeling steady, clear, and energised throughout it.

In this episode, we explore the science behind one of the most common (and frustrating) experiences in perimenopause: waking at 3am and struggling to fall back asleep.

If your sleep feels lighter, more fragmented, or suddenly unpredictable, this episode will help you understand why it’s happening—and what you can actually do about it.

We break down:

😴 How declining oestrogen affects sleep, mood, and stress response😴 Why cortisol can feel like an “internal alarm clock” at 3am😴 The connection between hormones, serotonin, and melatonin😴 Why your brain feels “wired but tired” at night

Finally, we cover 3 simple, practical tools you can try straight away:

✨ Light management in the evening to support melatonin✨ Magnesium support to calm the nervous system

✨ A simple “brain offload” technique to stop 3am thinking loops

Do you feel like your energy never charges above 40%—no matter how much you rest?

In this episode, we break down the real reason you feel constantly tired, especially in midlife, and why it’s not just about needing more sleep or more discipline.

Your body actually has an incredible ability to produce energy on demand—but when your sleep, stress, and blood sugar are out of balance, it can feel like you’re running on empty.

In this episode, Amanda talks about:

✨ Why you can wake up exhausted even after a full night’s sleep

✨ How stress silently drains your energy (even when you don’t feel “stressed”)

✨ The hidden impact of blood sugar highs and crashes on fatigue, brain fog, and cravings

✨ How hormonal shifts (like perimenopause) make your energy system more sensitive

✨ Why pushing harder with caffeine or willpower often backfires

You’ll walk away with simple, realistic strategies to stabilise your energy throughout the day—without overhauling your life.

If you’re tired of feeling tired, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on—and what actually works.

Do you wake up already feeling behind—like your brain is “on” before your day has even begun?

If everything feels overwhelming in midlife, from the mental load to the constant background noise in your head, this episode will help you understand why.

In this episode, we explore what’s really happening inside your body & brain during perimenopause—from nervous system overload to hormonal changes that affect how your brain filters stress, noise, and information.

You’ll learn why it’s not that you “can’t cope” anymore… but that your system is overloaded and processing more than it used to.

We break down:

✨ Why small, everyday stressors build up and feel like “too much”

✨ How hormonal fluctuations (especially oestrogen changes) impact focus, emotions, and mental clarity

✨ What’s really happening in your nervous system when everything feels loud or busy

You’ll also leave with:

• A simple 60-second reset to calm your system quickly

• One small boundary you can set today to reduce overwhelm

• Three questions to help lessen the load

  
  

If you’ve been feeling scattered, exhausted, or like life has suddenly become “too much,” this episode will help you feel more grounded—and remind you that you are still capable in all ways 💜

Feeling over-stretched? Life, work, and family pressures can feel even heavier during perimenopause, magnifying stress, self-doubt, and exhaustion. But here’s the good news: the answer isn’t doing more, especially not ‘the more’ that we often feel we are expected to do. 

It’s about finding the foundational habits that are most important to set you up to succeed.

In this episode, we explore why “doing more” often backfires in midlife, how your nervous system responds to stress, and 3 foundational habits that can transform your energy and sense of calm. You’ll discover practical, real-life ways to:

• Keep your stress bucket from overflowing

• Rebuild confidence through small wins

• Support your nervous system with simple daily practices

This episode gently shows how small, consistent actions help you move from survival mode into steady, sustainable confidence without extremes.

Feeling constantly stressed and drained? In this episode, I share three simple nervous system hacks that help busy mums reconnect with their energy, calm their mind, and feel more in control—even on the busiest days.

We’ll explore quick, real-life practices like grounding, mini movement bursts, and tiny energy rituals that fit into your everyday life. Plus, I explain why these small habits work, including the role of your vagus nerve and how it helps your body switch from stress to calm.

These tools are perfect for mums who want to reduce overwhelm, boost energy, and reclaim their day. Even a few minutes can make a noticeable difference!

In this episode we cover:

• How to recognise when your body is in fight-or-flight and how to calm it

• What the Vagus nerve is and how it supports your calm and energy

• Quick practices that fit into real life, boost energy and reduce stress

Do you ever snap… and then immediately feel guilty?

You’re not alone—and you’re not failing.

In this episode, we break down what’s really behind your stress and fatigue:

• The difference between stressors and triggers

• Why your reactions feel stronger in perimenopause

• Hidden patterns that are draining your energy

• How to spot your personal triggers before they escalate

• Simple ways to reduce overwhelm without changing your whole life

If life feels heavier than it should, this episode will help you connect the dots—and start responding instead of reacting.

Spring is supposed to feel like a fresh start—but for many mums, it feels anything but.

As the Easter holidays approach, life speeds up. School events, work deadlines, emotional load… and suddenly you’re more tired, more irritable, and wondering why everything feels harder instead of lighter.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the spring term can feel surprisingly heavy

• How seasonal shifts impact your energy and hormones

• The invisible mental load of “end-of-term everything”

• Why perimenopause can amplify overwhelm right now

• Simple ways to feel calmer before Easter arrives

If you’re wondering “Why am I struggling when things should feel better?”—this episode will help you feel understood, grounded, and back in control.

What is your view of routines?

Does the idea of creating the perfect daily routine feel exhausting before you even begin? Or do you feel like everyone has the perfect daily routine… while your real life feels messy, rushed and completely unpredictable?

If you’re a busy working mum navigating perimenopause, the pressure to optimise every hour of your day can actually make stress and overwhelm worse.

In this episode, we explore why trying to create the “perfect routine” often backfires in midlife — and what to do instead.

We talk about a much simpler approach: anchor routines.

Rather than fixing your whole day, choose one supportive moment — either a morning start or an evening reset — to help regulate your nervous system and bring more calm into your day.

Inside this episode Amanda covers:

👉 Why traditional 'productivity' routines don’t work well in perimenopause

👉 How hormonal changes affect energy, focus and stress tolerance

👉 The difference between top-loading and bottom-loading your routines

👉 Two simple examples you can try immediately

👉 How choosing just one anchor point can help you feel calmer and more in control

If life feels overwhelming right now, this episode will remind you that you don’t need to overhaul everything. Sometimes the smallest shifts create the biggest sense of calm.
