On this week's episode, we sat down with the incredible Vanessa Steele, a professional counsellor who helps women navigate one of the most profound transitions of their lives, perimenopause. While much of the focus is on the physical changes, the emotional side is just as powerful. Grief, sadness, confusion, and even a loss of identity can surface, leaving many women feeling unprepared and alone. But here’s the truth: this isn’t the end of who you are, it’s the beginning of something new!
Vanessa sheds light on the emotional shifts of perimenopause and offers the guidance, reassurance, and mindset shifts needed to embrace this phase with strength and self - compassion. If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself, this conversation will remind you that you’re actually stepping into a new, wiser, and more powerful version of you.
