We'll explore why striving to be your child's "bestie" can sometimes undermine your authority and why children thrive when parents provide structure, boundaries, and guidance.

In this enlightening episode, we will discuss the complexities of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and explore why it might not be the best option for every woman experiencing menopause. While HRT can offer relief from menopausal symptoms, it comes with its own set considerations that make it unsuitable for some.
 
About Hannah Charman
Hannah first became interested in alternative medicine when she used it to recover from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in her early teens. She graduated from Middlesex University with an honours degree in Western Herbal Medicine in 1999 and has been a practising medical herbalist ever since. Hannah now specialises in helping cancer survivors who’d prefer a natural route through menopause, combining herbal medicine with health coaching and/or hypnotherapy into tailor made treatment programmes. Hannah lives in Shropshire with her family, and loves swimming, gardening and walking in her spare time.

Menopause can be a really challenging time for women, and for some, HRT doesn’t feel like the best way forward. Hannah offers a natural way through menopause, where she addresses the psycho-emotional aspects of each patient’s symptoms as well as the physical ones. Each woman starts with a treatment programme tailored to her needs, blending personalised herbal medicines with health coaching to get the basics of good health in place. Some women also choose to use advanced hypnotherapy to free themselves from any limiting beliefs which are holding them back.

In this episode, we bring you the true story of how one person's hair was pivotal in saving their life. 

We sit down with Hannah Bradley, a Hair Coach and founder of The Curly Confidante. Hannah's journey is a powerful testament to the unexpected ways self-care can transform lives. She shares her incredible story of resilience, transformation, and the impact of embracing her natural curls.

About Hannah

Hannah Bradley is a Hair Coach and founder of her business The Curly Confidante. She helps people of all hair types and backgrounds to wear and care for their hair with confidence through online one-to-one education and support. She was inspired to start her business after her hair helped to save her life. At the start of COVID Hannah found herself becoming increasingly depressed, which led to self-harming and eventually attempted suicide. As part of her recovery journey, Hannah began looking at self-care, including caring for her natural curls which had been hiding behind straighteners for years. This process transformed her relationship with herself, and gave her the energy she needed to get well, which even included excommunicating from a religious cult! Soon after she founded her business, with a mission to help other people recognise the powerful role hair can play in our lives, and the importance of knowing how to look after it.
