In this deeply honest conversation, Amanda Lim and Jasmin Dhillon sit down with registered psychotherapist and integrative sex & relationship therapist Cheryl Kennedy McDonald to unpack the invisible process of identity loss in long-term relationships. From self-concept erosion and trauma bonds to gaslighting, narcissistic abuse and the emotional reality of divorce, this episode explores why so many women stay, how toxic relationship patterns develop, and what it truly takes to rebuild your sense of self.

Cheryl explains why leaving isn't simply about willpower, how childhood experiences shape the relationships we accept, and why healing requires far more than just moving on. Whether you're navigating divorce, questioning your relationship, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to understand the psychology behind these patterns, this conversation offers practical insights with compassion and clarity.

In this episode, we discuss:

* What "self-concept erosion" really looks like

* The subtle signs you've lost your identity in a relationship

* Trauma bonds and why leaving can feel impossible

* The difference between lying and gaslighting

* Understanding narcissistic personality disorder vs narcissistic traits

* Why women often struggle after leaving toxic relationships

* The importance of female friendships during healing

* How to rebuild confidence, identity and self-worth after divorce

* Why self-compassion is essential for recovery

Holly Matthews on grief, ADHD and being your weirdest self: actress Holly Matthews lost her husband Ross to brain cancer at 32. She shares how she rebuilt her life, talked to her daughters about death and turned grief into The Happy Me Project.

What happens when your career is playing other people, and real life takes away the script?

In this episode of The Forties Formula podcast, Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim talk to Holly Matthews, a UK actress on screen since age 11, bestselling author, TEDx speaker and founder of The Happy Me Project. In 2017, her husband Ross died of brain cancer at 32, leaving her with two daughters aged four and six.

Holly shares Ross's diagnosis, explaining death honestly to young children, grieving in the public eye and why creating helped her more than therapy. She explains how a course recorded on her phone became a Bloomsbury book deal, how a late ADHD diagnosis changed her life, and why being your weirdest self matters more in the age of AI.

QUICK ANSWERS

How do you explain death to a young child?

Be honest and keep talking. Children fill silence with their own stories and sometimes blame themselves.

Does grief look the same for everyone?

No. Holly says grief comes in waves, and milestones are often the hardest moments.

What does "be your weirdest self" mean?

Being your most authentic self, including the parts you were told were too much.

What is Holly's Forties Formula?

Be your weirdest self, and joy is non-negotiable.

This episode might be the most personal conversation we've had on The Forties Formula.

Dr. Christle Gueverra is a sports medicine physician who has been on GLP1 for weight loss herself for four years. She brings both the clinical picture and the personal one, and what she shares here is unlike anything we've heard from a doctor on this topic.

Together we get into why so many women experience weight gain in their 40s suddenly hit a wall with weight despite training hard and eating well, what GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are actually doing inside the body, and why the food noise piece is the part almost nobody talks about.

We also cover who is actually a good candidate (it's not as straightforward as your BMI), how to protect your muscle while losing fat, what to do if you want to come off the medication, and why obesity should be treated as a chronic disease rather than a willpower problem.

In this episode:

Why weight gain in 40s is not simply about eating less and moving more

How GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Mounjaro and Zepbound help with appetite control

What food noise actually feels like and why silencing it changes everything

Dr. Christle's personal GLP-1 journey as an obesity medicine physician

Who is and isn't a good candidate, including Asian BMI considerations

Side effects, safety data and what your doctor should be monitoring

How to protect muscle mass and metabolic health on a GLP-1

Protein, resistance training and nutrition strategies that support fat loss

Whether you can come off GLP-1 medication without regaining weight

Why obesity is a chronic neurobiological disease, not a personal failure

Breast cancer signs and symptoms every woman should know. Breast surgeon and breast cancer survivor Dr Liz O'Riordan explains how to check your breasts, mammograms and how to lower your risk.

What happens when a breast surgeon finds a lump in her own breast?

In this Breast Cancer Awareness Month episode of The Forties Formula podcast, Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim are joined by Dr Liz O'Riordan, a UK breast surgeon diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at 40, which has since come back twice.

Liz shares what it was like to go from surgeon to patient overnight, the fear of recurrence, and losing her mum to cancer. Then she walks us through a breast self-exam, the warning signs that are not a lump, whether mammograms are safe, why breast cancer is rising in younger women, and the lifestyle changes that can reduce your risk.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

One in seven women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, and risk rises with age.

Breast cancer is not just a lump. Look for skin colour changes, dimpling, a nipple that has pulled in, a rash, and clear or bloody discharge.

Check your breasts and armpits every month. If a change is still there after a week or two, see your doctor.

Breast pain on its own is very rarely a sign of breast cancer.

Mammograms can find cancers before you can feel them.

Regular exercise can reduce the risk of several cancers by 30 to 40%.

If you are young and worried, say it clearly: "I'm worried I could have breast cancer."

* Why dads often don't realize how much moms are managing

Strength training for women over 40 can keep you strong, capable and independent at 80. Strength coach Elizabeth Davies, author of Training for Your Old Lady Body, shares her tips for healthy ageing.

What if your fitness goal was being able to get off the floor, carry your own bags and keep saying yes to life at 80?

In this episode of The Forties Formula podcast, Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim are joined by Elizabeth Davies to rethink what women are training for, and why our future independence deserves attention now.

Training for capability and independence as you age

Why it isn't too late to begin strength training

Fitting shorter workouts around work and family

In this clip from The Forties Formula, relationship coach Yana Fry explores why so many women begin reassessing their relationships during midlife.

Whether you're happily partnered, feeling disconnected, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into one of the biggest transitions many women experience after 40.

🎧 Watch the full episode for more on communication, intimacy, the invisible mental load, dating after 40, relationship red flags, couples therapy, and building healthier relationships in midlife.

Can creatine help with perimenopause brain fog? Could an allergy pill ease hot flushes? And why does your body feel different when your weight hasn’t changed?

In this episode of The Forties Formula, Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim reunite in London to unpack five health claims making headlines and circulating on social media. From strength training and heart health to creatine and viral menopause hacks, they explore what’s behind the claims, where evidence is still developing, and what deserves a closer look.

With so much conflicting advice aimed at women over 40, knowing what to believe can feel overwhelming. This conversation explores why the details behind a headline matter — and why your health is about more than a number on the bathroom scale.

Jasmin and Amanda discuss the headline linking resistance training with lower heart attack risk, including the limitations of observational research. They also examine the trend of combining allergy and heartburn medication for menopause symptoms, separating a proposed explanation from evidence that a treatment works.

Next, they explore creatine claims around muscle, bone and brain health before discussing body composition during perimenopause. The conversation covers fat redistribution, muscle function, grip strength and how these relate to metabolic health.

Whether you’re considering creatine, noticing a changing waistline or feeling overwhelmed by menopause advice, this episode offers questions to take beyond your social media feed.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Strength training, heart health and the 44% risk-reduction headline
• The viral allergy-pill menopause hack and its evidence gaps
• Creatine claims around muscle, bone and brain fog
• Why a stable weight doesn’t tell the whole story
• Tracking sleep, mood and changes in how you feel
• Visceral fat, grip strength and diabetes risk
• How muscle and exercise relate to glucose regulation

Postpartum recovery for women in their 40s: what no one tells you. Sports medicine physician Dr. Lara Morgan joins Jasmin and Amanda to explain why the six-week clearance means nothing and what real recovery actually looks like.

Most women are cleared at six weeks and sent straight back to running, lifting, and HIIT. No one tells them that decision can affect their body for the next three to four decades. If something has felt off since you had kids, this episode is for you.

In this episode you will learn why the bounce back narrative is physically damaging, what it means to recover like an athlete, why leaking and pelvic floor issues are common but never normal, and why it is never too late to rebuild.

About the guest:

Dr. Lara Morgan is a sports medicine physician who has worked with elite athletes at the Cleveland Cavaliers and USC. She applies the same evidence-based recovery model used in professional sport to postpartum women and mothers at every stage. Find her on Instagram at @sportdrmorgan.
