Menopause can feel like your body turned the volume up overnight and nobody handed you the manual. Rebecca Henwood joins us to talk about what’s really going on beneath the symptoms, not just hormones, but nervous system regulation, safety, and the daily practices that help you stay steady when life gets unpredictable.
Bec has taught yoga for 15+ years, and she shares why somatic breathwork became the missing layer for her own healing and for the women she supports. We get practical about breath tools you can use in the moment, including slow nose breathing for calming, box breathing for acute stress, breath holds, and alternate nostril breathing for balance and focus. She also explains why a simple 15-minute daily practice can be more life-changing than waiting for the “perfect” long session.
We also talk candidly about perimenopause and menopause symptoms like brain fog and the emotional edge that can show up when estrogen drops, plus how Beck navigates natural therapies and a half dose of HRT after plenty of trial and error. One of the most eye-opening parts is the contrast with Japanese menopause culture, from nutrition habits to the way older women are viewed as wise rather than “past it.” Finally, we dig into a growing shift Beck sees: men asking how to show up as supportive partners and coworkers so women can soften, feel safe, and stop carrying everything alone.
If you’re building a business, raising a family, or simply trying to feel like yourself again, this conversation will leave you with tools you can actually use today. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more women find the support they deserve.
