133 Why Women Are Invisible with Harriet Waley Cohen
The Menopause Mindset
02/13/23 • 62 min
Do you ever find that no matter how hard you try to fix your mindset, your behaviours and your habits, it still feels like the odds are stacked against you?
I feel it too, sometimes.
In today's episode I speak with Harriet Waley Cohen who is a leadership coach specialising in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion activism.
Our conversation was incredibly eye opening and made me think a lot about the limitations placed upon women by an insidious and crafty system of patriarchal oppression.
Trigger warning. If you DON'T want your world view changed, probably best you don't listen to this episode.
In this conversation Harriet enlightens us on:
🤬 The real reason why many women are not thriving.
🤬 What the 'law of attraction' sphere is in denial of.
🤬 Patriarchal oppression, dirty water and brainwashing.
🤬 The reaction of men in suits when being spoken to about gender inclusivity.
🤬 Why gender based diversity and inclusion goes beyond 'morality.'
🤬 What the statistics REALLY say about gender inclusion and profit.
🤬 Why it's the middle tier managers who struggle with gender equality.
🤬 The questions people who are resistant to gender equality are too ashamed to ask.
🤬 Why we have to allow resistant men to get it wrong.
🤬 Why this is beyond socialist vs capitalist.
🤬 How men actually perceive equality when it comes to women speaking up in meetings.
🤬 Diet culture: Why you need to be super clear about what you're actually buying into....
...and so much more about body imagine, breast cancer, confidence and the inner critic.
This is a jam packed episode and despite this being a heavy topic, Harriet makes this interesting, inspiring and accessible.
So if you want some answers as to why you feel like you're wading through treacle, this episode is for you.

85 Healing Our Wounded Men with Yaron Engler
The Menopause Mindset
12/14/21 • 62 min
Men can’t be the heroes in our story if they are traumatised and hen pecked. We could harp on about feminism and the patriarchy all day, but ultimately, if we want better menopause care, we must find ways of harmoniously working together, and that involves learning.
As women (cis and trans), understanding men and the wounds they carry, I believe, holds the key to healing a broken system, a system that currently doesn't help us through the menopause transition safely.
In this episode I talk to one of the most dynamic people I know, Israeli born Yar’on Engler.
Yar’on communicates with brutal and brilliant honesty which, during the recording of this episode lifted me up so high, I want you to get a taste of that too.
In this episode we talk about:
👉🏽Radical Honesty in relationships
👉🏽Lead with your heart and let your head follow
👉🏽Depression: The start of a life long journey
👉🏽What exactly IS a spiritual journey?
👉🏽The CROP Method
👉🏽Coming home to the self (non judgemental self observation)
👉🏽Finding peace in simplicity
👉🏽Sadness being part of joy (not happiness)
👉🏽What has Strictly Come Dancing got to do with anything?
👉🏽The power of staring in the eyes of strangers
👉🏽Resistance to facing ourselves head on
👉🏽Touching the extremes of our passion
👉🏽How can women in relationships with men, approach difficult conversations (when they are not open to change)
👉🏽Why change is easier inside a circle
If you're ready to think outside the box and travel deep into your heart, when it comes to your menopause transition, then this episode is for you.

30 You Can't Buy Motivation from Amazon with Lisa Moore
The Menopause Mindset
10/27/20 • 58 min
Join me as I chat to the multi passionate woman that is Lisa Moore. Lisa is a mindset coach, a fitness instructor, cranio sacral therapist, regional director of the Athena Network and public speaker. She’s currently going through her menopause transition and has been lucky enough to have a pretty easy time of it so far thanks to her fitness background. This conversation is probably the most diverse one I've ever done. She speaks frankly about a very difficult time she went through with a relationship breakup and the qualities that helped get her through this period of time. We also talk about thinking outside the box when it comes to exercise and the secret sauce behind motivation. There were some parts of this conversation that really took my breath away, I hope you’ll join me.

107 The Long Game with Dr Alison Grimston
The Menopause Mindset
06/13/22 • 58 min
Recently I witnessed a menopause practitioner being derogatory about the DUTCH test online.
It shocked me but ultimately everyone is entitled to their opinion.
What I found difficult though was the unwillingness to broaden their perspective and listen to all sides of the story. Any contradictory opinion was simply shut down with a response such as 'I stand by my original opinion.'
This kind of thinking is problematic for reasons you'll learn in today's podcast episode.
Doctor Allie Grimston is an NHS GP, a Functional Medicine Doctor and a spiritual healer. What I love about Dr Allie, is her ability to take a broad view of the whole system in a way that considered and compassionate (something that was lacking in this particular online conversation).
In our conversation we cover:
😊 Coping with the conflict that arises between allopathic medicine and functional medicine.
😊 The restrictions of The National Health Service.
😊 Gluten and Thyroid Health.
😊 Internal stress.
😊 What functional medicine is [root cause work].
😊 The difference between Body Identical HRT and Bio Identical HRT.
😊 Lab testing.
😊 What is the DUTCH test.
😊 What is oestrogen dominance.
😊 Your vagina - it might not be thrush.
😊 The microbiome (not just in the gut).
😊Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome.
😊 Bio Individuality.
😊Energy healing, psychic surgery and spiritual medicine.
So if you're interested in taking a broader view of menopause and you're open to leaning into the bigger picture, this episode is for you.

131 Aromatherapy for Menopause and for Life with Amy Anthony
The Menopause Mindset
01/16/23 • 75 min
If you're anything like me, you've purchased hundreds of aromatherapy oils in the past with the full intention of using them in your baths, in diffusers and in your massage oils, only to then wonder 'are they really working?' Promptly abandoning them only to repeat the cycle a year later.
My guest today is listed as one of America's most influential aromatherapists. She's also the New York State representative for the Alliance of International Aromatherapists, so she knows a thing or two about the contents of these mysterious little bottles.
In our long awaited conversation we spoke about:
What makes an essential oil so powerful.
How smells affects the nervous system.
The properties of essential oils.
How essential oils actually affect our bodies.
How to really work with and appreciate essential oils.
Aromatherapy post hysterectomy.
Aromatherapy for symptoms management during menopause.
The problem with perfume.
What NOT to do with essential oils.
Why you need to see a LOCAL aromatherapist.
Understanding the synergistic effect of blending oils.
What essential oils are to the plants themselves.
Building a relationship with the oil and plant.
Using oils to connect with nature if you live in a city.
Do essential oils REALLY help with our emotions?
And so much more...
So if you want uplift your senses and really understand the relationship with plants, smells and humans (and of course, how all of this can help your menopause) this episode is for you.

The Menopause Mindset
10/19/23 • 59 min
If you’re worried about menopause, don’t be. It’s a great time to be alive for menopausal women. Why? "There has never been so many of us. We need not feel invisible or marginalised. Never before have so many women reached this stage in their lives so independent, educated, professional and in leadership position. And because of this we have an opportunity to be part of shaping a monumental paradigm shift this recognises women (and women’s menopause) as the powerful transformational force that it is."
Those are the words of my podcast guest today, Lil Glamben.
Lil is a certified Empowerment Coach on a mission to transform beliefs, experiences and options around menopause, so women can connect with and fulfil their souls deepest desires.
Today’s conversation was extraordinary, I hope you’ll join us.
We talk about:
🌙 The fascinating thing the Lil’s mother did to maintain an illusion of youth.
🌙 Messages from our ancestors about menopause.
🌙 The gift of others recognising your pain and turmoil
🌙 The one thing you need to help you get through the chaos of peri meno.
🌙 One of the big super powers of menopause and how to intentionally engage with it.
🌙 What becoming centred actually means from an electric POV
🌙 The invitation menopause gives us to reduce the noise and hear the signal
🌙 What The Golden Girls can teach us about how we’re ageing today.
🌙 The Five Fold Phenomenon of Modern Menopause
So if you’re ready to feel emboldened, emblazoned and enriched, this conversation is for you!

121 Ditching Outdated Diet Thinking with Tanja Shaw
The Menopause Mindset
10/17/22 • 66 min
Black and white thinking around health, nutrition and weight loss is outdated, outmoded and redundant. If you think it's just a case of finding enough will power to stick to a diet, then, my friend, I'm afraid you're set up to fail.

In this conversation we talk about:
🥑 A time redefine ourselves and dieting.
🥑 Why we're sociologically conditioned for weight loss.
🥑 Re-writing the diet narrative.
🥑 Mindful weight loss / Mindful eating.
🥑 The human diet.
🥑 Understanding your motivations.
🥑 Our relationships to food.
🥑 SLOWING THE F**K DOWN
🥑 Black and white thinkings vs 'play in the grey'
🥑 Making people with desire & yearning.
🥑 Routine, routine, routine.
🥑 Progress over perfection.
🥑 But HOW do we accept a body we don't actually like.
So if you're ready to 'play in the grey', come join Tanja and me!

89 Deconstructing Sex and Selling
The Menopause Mindset
01/17/22 • 69 min
My podcast guest today, Lucy Rowett, is passionate about exposing some of the predatory practices in the coaching world that seem to poke at our pain and rub at our trauma.
She says "This conversation is so on point right now".
Lucy is an entrepreneur and a Clinical Sexologist and as such, she knows a thing or two about sex, trauma and selling.
So, this is a two pronged conversation.
We talk about sex AND selling
Let's address the sex first.
When we reach our midlife years our libido can lower the reasons are multifactorial but some are deeper than we might be looking.
OUR LOW LIBIDO IS NOT JUST OUR HORMONES
Our inability to open up to great sex and self pleasure are usually nothing to do with anything being at fault with you (or your hormones). It's part of a larger systemic culture that pokes at our trauma causing us to feel shameful and guilt ridden about our sexuality.
Both Lucy Rowett and I LOVE breaking taboos. If anyone's gonna go there, we will! So if you're interested in joining us on this rebellious journey, here's what you'll be involved in.
💦 What constitutes good sex?
🍆 The difference between excited pleasure and relaxed pleasure.
💦 How the infiltration of the 'growth mindset' might be affecting our sex lives.
🍆 The benefits of exploring your own eros within and without a relationship, especially to heal sexual trauma
💦 How purity culture fucks up our sexuality
🍆 Pleasure and guilt
💦 Stress as a safe feeling and relaxation as a challenging feeling
🍆 Vulva shame IS trauma
💦 Not knowing what you want in bed
🍆 Healing sexuality as a form of soul retrieval
THEN....
❌ The lineage of personal development (white protestantism and evangelism)
❌ Being asked to over extract our internal resources by bosses or coaches
❌ The dangers of business coaching without any trauma knowledge
❌ Waking up to manipulative practices designed to sell products/services
Phew, not gonna lie there may some triggering discussion in this episode my guest Lucy Rowett approaches this topic in a highly sensitive way. So you're in safe hands.
....but if you're the kind of person in their midlife who is ready to do some deconstruction, then this episode is for you.
