What would it take for you to truly embrace and even get excited about this season of life? In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome back Kate Codrington—author and midlife coach—who always brings such warmth, joy, and wisdom to these conversations.

Together, we talk about the different stages of life as seasons—spring's exploration, summer's energy, autumn's reflection, and winter's rest. Kate and I challenge the idea that menopause is simply about loss and share how we can create gentle, nurturing rhythms to navigate these shifts with more ease.

We’ll also dive into Kate's new Perimenopause Journal, which encourages simple daily self-check-ins, aligning with the seasons to make self-care feel natural and meaningful. This conversation is packed with wisdom, practical tips for self-love, and a fresh perspective on what's possible in midlife!

Isn’t it refreshing to hear this dieting trope “you are what you eat” turned on its head? In this episode, I had the privilege of chatting with Dr. Emma Beckett, an Australian nutrition scientist and the brilliant mind behind You Are More Than What You Eat. Dr. Beckett’s book dives into the science of eating behaviors, but she makes it all so relatable and easy to understand.

We’re cutting through the noise and addressing why dietary myths and labels like “good” or “bad” can mess with our health and our relationship with food. Dr. Beckett’s approach is all about enjoying your food without stressing over perfection, embracing a flexible and intuitive eating style that actually makes food easy and fun.

Tune in to hear how adding a little flavor can turn nutritious foods into delicious meals, and get practical tips for a more joyful relationship with what’s on your plate.

In this episode, we tackle a topic that deserves a heck of a lot more attention than we’re giving it—our pelvic floor. Kim Vopni, the "Vagina Coach," and founder of the “Buff Muff Method” helps us understand what it means to care for your pelvic health through perimenopause and menopause. Kim shares valuable advice on managing common symptoms like painful sex and annoying leaks.

We dive into the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, hormonal changes, and whether those popular biofeedback devices really work. Plus, we both advocate for the benefits of pelvic floor physiotherapy as part of your health routine.

Kim's compassionate guidance offers a reminder that you don’t have to suffer alone or just “suck it up”. Tune in for insights and support, and let us know what you think!
