The Truth About Rage, Menopause, and Your Nervous System - Dr Evette Rose
Send a text
Hot flushes, brain fog, sudden midlife rage — these experiences are often treated as problems to suppress or manage. In this conversation, we look at them differently: as signals the body is trying to get through.
This week, I’m joined by Dr Evette Rose, author, spiritual teacher, and trauma recovery expert, to explore how emotions shape physiology and why midlife turns the volume up. Evette shares her own path — from burnout and atheism to mapping the links between unresolved trauma and specific physical symptoms — and explains how learning to regulate the nervous system can turn sensitivity into steadiness.
We unpack psychosomatics in a practical, grounded way. How stacked stress shows up as IBS, palpitations, or mental fog. Why you can often feel someone’s emotional state before they say a word. And why fast, instinctive knowing is often more accurate than overthinking. Epigenetics comes into the picture as lived reality, not a buzzword — families pass on stress responses, not fixed destinies. If something is showing up in your body, it’s something you can work with.
Menopause becomes a kind of compass in this conversation. Anger that’s been buried starts to rise. Boundaries that were once ignored become non-negotiable. The cupboard door that never closes turns into a symbol for respect that’s been missing. Evette explains why hot flushes often link to anger and the need to expel what’s no longer healthy, and why brain fog can signal overwhelm or dissociation rather than decline.
You’ll come away with simple tools you can use straight away: a 90-second breath hold to interrupt reactive responses, 13 quick breaths to reset, hard walks to burn off cortisol, and specific sound frequencies to support nervous system regulation. We also talk about timing — why it matters to delay big decisions until you’re regulated, so change comes from clarity rather than old wounds.
If you’re ready to move from knee-jerk reactions to grounded change, this episode offers a steady place to start. Subscribe, share it with someone who needs firmer footing, and leave a review to help more midlife rebels find their way.
