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 y...
What's it like when you're told that your lab results are 'normal' but you feel far from it?
It might offer temporary relief but you go back into your life and before long, you feel awful again.
Your intuition is telling you that things are far from normal.
So what is really going on here?
My guest today is Ricky Brandon, founder of The Hormone Balance Centres in the USA. After years of searching, thousands of hours in training, research, and trial, and error, he has finally landed on the process and system that mixes traditional medicine with alternative medicine and helps people feel great again and live younger and longer with natural hormone replacement therapy.
In today's conversation we discuss:
✅ Why UNDERSTANDING is power when it comes to your health.
✅ Embracing symptoms rather than fearing them.
✅ The restrictions that tight protocol creates for traditional doctors when dealing with hormones.
✅ The wide generic nature of hormone levels set by insurance compan...
What if this time of year was THE most powerful time of year for menopause?
In today's episode I talk about a new book I'm reading which is helping me tap into my creative genius (and what that means for menopause).
I also talk about how much I'm loving the stillness and quietude that exists at the moment as a result of the hunkering down caused by winter and the change in people's economic circumstances. I
also briefly talk about a gorgeous yoga workshop retreat I went on and what I learnt from that.
It's a very paired back episode today but hopefully it will inspire you to go within and reflect on the stirrings of your own inner magic.

Do you ever wonder why there's so much talk of HRT these days?
A few weeks ago I posted a reel at my distain for the amount of HRT 'pushing' I was seeing on social media but after my conversation with Katie Taylor, now I know why that is.
It's because the pendulum needed to swing so far the other way.
The immense fear of HRT caused by the flawed WHI study meant that women's medical health has been paralysed. And the force with which my guest (and others in her field) have had to fight, has literally swung the pendulum the other way.
Go them! It needed to happen to mobilise women's health care.
My guest today, Katie Taylor, is a fighting spirit among the campaigning community to make menopause matter. She's the CEO of the Latte Lounge (a free Facebook community and low cost private membership) and the organiser of The Midlife Festival.
In our conversation today we covered:
✅ The increasing popularity of menopause as a conversational piece.
✅ The importance of ev...
Hating your body is a choice that you have been hypnotised into by diet culture. It's totally unnecessary and feels bad to your soul. If you've put weight on during menopause or you've always been curvy, you CAN learn to accept your body right now AND you can be healthy at every size.
Sound controversial? Damn right it is.
My guest today is Claudine Nightingill-Rane. She's a body image, mindset and blue health coach and she works with women to help heal their relationship with themselves and their bodies so they can be happy and healthy as they are.
In today's conversation we talk about:
🙄 The mental pain of yoyo dieting
🙄 Lifestyle changes can be diets too
🙄 How you THINK you look vs how you ACTUALLY look
🙄 The slow process of learning to accept your body
🙄 BMI - a flawed tool - aka The Bulls**t Measurement Index
🙄 The torture of fat shaming
🙄 Reclaiming the word FAT
🙄 Shrinking your body is a choice and you don't have to do it
🙄 The one big barrier many people feel when embark...

If you want a therapy that works, try hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is becoming one of the worlds most sought after therapies because of its ability to work deep into our conditioning and affect change very quickly.
I call it a no nonsense therapy. It gets right in there and right out again.
In today's episode I had the pleasure of talking to a fellow hypnotherapist about the profound work we do.
Sonia Samtani is CEO of the All About You wellness centre in Hong Kong, she's 2 x TEDX speaker, published author and NLP trainer (and of course, she's a very busy hypnotherapist).
In today's episode of The Menopause Mindset Podcast we discuss:
🧠 Conclusions that we come to about ourselves based on the messages we received.
🧠 The importance of asking why [why = wisdom].
🧠 Identifying the triggers that result in a cascade of negative thinking.
🧠 The difference between regression therapy and suggestion placement therapy.
🧠 Perception filters and how they affects our beliefs.
🧠 Where does o...
Many people try and medicate menopause away with HRT and whilst, in many cases HRT really does help to get us back on track, there is a deeper message behind the menopause transition that often gets overlooked. In this episode I'm going to help you peel back some of the layers to enable you to gain a much deeper understanding of what menopause is trying to tell you, to enable you to emerge out the other side feeling reborn.
This is for anyone curious about taking a wider, more holistic view of menopause.
In this episode you will learn:

When did we last award someone for being the most orgasmic, pleasure centred human?
Answer: erm... never.
So where are we supposed to get our inspiration from when it comes to giving ourselves permission to feel good? Where are the role models?
Enter: Jem Ayres.

In this conversation we talk about:
✨ Recovering from Stage 4 cancer
✨ The health benefits of orgasm
✨ Full body orgasm vs genital orgasm
✨ How we learn to 'tolerate' suffering
✨ Do we even look up to role models who endorse pleasure?
✨ How to ensure that chaos can’t touch you
✨ Self development as a 'body' pursuit not just a 'mind' pursuit

✨ The old idea of sex needing to end in orgasm
✨ Accessing pleasure as the precursor for m...
