193: Menopause Without HRT - What Are Your Options
What if hormone replacement therapy isn’t right for you - or simply isn’t the path you want to take - what options do you really have?
HRT can be life-changing for many women, but it isn’t the right choice for everyone - and that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. In this episode, we explore menopause without HRT, unpacking evidence-based alternatives, lifestyle foundations and supportive approaches that can genuinely help when hormones aren’t part of your journey.

192: Healthcare, Menopause and GLP-1 : Weight Loss with Sehar Shahid
What happens when women stop waiting, start asking questions, and choose healthcare that truly listens to them?
Something powerful is shifting in women’s healthcare - especially for those navigating perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, we explore the growing move towards informed, values-led care, where women are no longer willing to be dismissed, delayed or told to “just cope”. Through an honest conversation about autonomy, ethics, access and GLP-1, we unpack the intersection between NHS and private care, why choosing yourself is not selfish, and what empowered healthcare can really look like in this new era with Sehar Shahid.

191: Vision, Not Overwhelm - Designing Your 2026
What if creating your vision for the year ahead didn’t feel overwhelming, but instead brought a sense of calm, clarity and self-trust?
As we step into a new year, many women in perimenopause and menopause feel pressure to set goals, make plans and “have it all figured out”. In this episode, we gently shift away from hustle and overwhelm and explore how to design a vision for 2026 that feels embodied, values-led and supportive of your nervous system. This is an invitation to reconnect with how you want your life to feel, rather than what you think you should achieve - and to begin the year from a place of steadiness, self-trust and intention.

189: Food, Perimenopause & The Shame Spiral No One Talks About
Why does food feel so much louder, heavier and more emotional during perimenopause and menopause - especially at times of celebration?
Food isn’t just food during perimenopause — it can carry guilt, anxiety, nostalgia and shame, all wrapped up in hormonal change and nervous system overload. In this episode, we gently unpack the unspoken relationship many women have with food during menopause, why festive and celebratory eating can feel so triggering, and how food noise is not a failure of willpower but a biological and emotional response. Expect compassion, science-backed insight and permission to soften the shame and find safety again in your body.
