Are you a woman navigating life after divorce, toxic relationships, emotional abuse, or simply the weight of always putting everyone else first? Do you find yourself asking: Who am I now? What do I want? And how do I even begin to rebuild my life?

Welcome to WOW – Love Light Inspire, the podcast where we dive deep into the real stuff—healing, self-worth, emotional freedom, and what it means to rise after life knocks you down.

I’m your host, Lorene Roberts—Counsellor, Root Cause Therapist, program creator, emotional abuse survivor, author, mother, grandmother, and passionate change-maker for women ready to reclaim their power.

In each episode, I bring you honest, soul-stirring conversations about:

Healing after divorce and toxic relationships
Understanding trauma and how it shows up in everyday life
Breaking free from limiting beliefs and people-pleasing
Rebuilding self-worth, identity, and emotional strength
The messy, magical journey of becoming YOU again

Occasionally, I sit down with other women who’ve lived through the fire and come out the other side—with wisdom to share and stories that remind us we’re never alone.

Whether you’re starting over, seeking emotional freedom, or simply ready to stop living small, this podcast is for you.

Expect truth. Expect depth. Expect heart.
No fluff. No sugar-coating. Just raw, powerful insight to support your healing and growth.

Vaginal dryness and Menopause - Sandy Davies

Are you a woman experiencing perimenopause? or perhaps you know someone who experiences menopause? Over 70% of women over the age of 40 will experience dryness. We are living much longer than generations before us. Moisturising is one of the components of ensuring we thrive and soar rather than wriggle and scratch our way through midlife.

Sandy Davies, our guest on this episode of Wow Love Light Inspire, opens up about the symptoms of menopause, menopause itself, and its effects on most women’s intimate areas, and how she came up with a solution, creating a moisturizing balm specifically for the vulva and vagina. Sandy's catchphrase is if we feel good down there, we feel good everywhere. If you can't figure out why you're restless and fidgety, this episode might just change your life.

About the Guest:

Sandy Davies' mantra is that it is never too late, and we are never too old; she finally found the time to pursue her lifelong dream of authorship. Sandy was driven out of semi-retirement after developing an allergy to a medication used to treat perimenopausal dryness in intimate areas. She is now the founder and formulator of Queensland's award-winning HappyPauseTM Balm. When not writing and heightening menopause awareness, Sandy enjoys helping others and spending time with her husband and their rescue dog Karma hunting nautilus shells along the fringing reefs on the edge of The Coral Sea.
