In today's episode, we dive deep into the world of perimenopause and how it intersects with the postnatal period. With so many women waiting until later in life to have children, this is an important topic for women to get their heads around. Postnatal meets Perimenopause To help us do that, I am joined by my guest, Linda Stephens, who brings her expertise and insights on women's health to help you navigate this transitional stage in your life. We explore the hormonal changes, physical symptoms, and emotional challenges that can arise during this time. Together, we discover how understanding and nurturing our bodies can lead to a graceful transition and a renewed sense of self. Some of the key questions we explore include: What are some common symptoms experienced by women during the perimenopause stage? How do these symptoms compare to those experienced after childbirth? How can understanding the natural hormonal cycle of women help them navigate their energy levels and productivity throughout the month? How can create a more supportive and accommodating environment for women during the perimenopause transition? How can taking care of the adrenal glands help support hormonal balance during the perimenopause stage? Why there is a lack of awareness and knowledge about this treatment option among healthcare professionals? What are some techniques or practices mentioned in the episode that can help shift the body into a parasympathetic state and support adrenal care? How can we prioritise good fats, fiber, and quality carbohydrates in our diet to support our hormones? How societal expectations and pressures impact women's approach to exercise during this stage of life? Why it is important for women to educate themselves about the changes they will experience during the late 30s to post-menopause stage? How can women embrace the "wise woman" phase and let go of societal pressures to stay young and slim? What steps can we take to promote positive self-acceptance and embrace the changes in our bodies during this stage of life?

Birth Wound Healing Activation MP3: This Healing Activation was created to help you to heal from the emotional wounds and traumas related to any birth experiences you've had. This would benefit those who have had difficult or traumatic birth experiences. But because we've ALL had a birth experience: our own arrival into the world, then everyone would benefit from this wound healing track. Particularly those who suffer from Tokophobia, because often, the trauma that is at the root of their phobia is the trauma of their own birth. This birth wound healing track also helps you to release ancestral trauma. If your mother or grandmother (or great grandmother) had a difficult birth, then you will be carrying the memories of those experiences and they could be affecting how you feel about pregnancy or birth. 3.
