Menopause Rise and Thrive | Helping Women Navigate Midlife and Menopause
Welcome to Menopause Rise and Thrive! I’m Dr. Sara Poldmae, and this podcast is for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause—women who are ready to embrace this stage of life with confidence and create a future that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Every week, I’ll walk you through the ups and downs of midlife, sharing helpful tips, real-world advice, and a space where you can feel heard and supported. Whether you’re dealing with hot flashes, weight changes, mood swings, sleep disruptions, or brain fog—or simply trying to make sense of the emotional shifts that come with menopause—you’re not alone.
Together, we’ll cut through the noise of misinformation and explore real, effective strategies for managing menopause symptoms, emotional well-being, and relationship dynamics. Menopause Rise and Thrive is about more than just symptom management—it’s about stepping into your strength, prioritizing your well-being, and finding renewed purpose in this chapter of life.
More than anything, this podcast is about community—a place where women like you can connect, share experiences, and support one another. Together, we’ll challenge outdated myths about aging, celebrate our resilience, and approach midlife with clarity, strength, and empowerment.
Offering a unique blend of insights from my experience as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Chinese herbalist, acupuncturist, yogi, functional medicine practitioner, and women’s advocate, I’m here to help you reclaim your health and rediscover your passions. Every episode is designed to provide guidance, reassurance, and practical steps so you can navigate menopause with confidence.

87. The Power of Breathwork with Trish Brewer - Fan Favorite Replay
What do you know about breathwork? Did you know that you can use it to regulate your body, nervous system, mood, digestion, and more?
If that sounds good to you, listen up!
I’m so excited to be joined in this episode of Midlife Rise + Thrive by Trish Brewer. Trish is here to teach us the basics of breathwork. Think of this episode as Breathwork 101. It’s the class we all needed in school, and yet none of us got it. The good news is, it’s never too late to get started.
Trish is sharing how breathwork can help you balance your nervous system and how that will benefit your mind and body in midlife. I’ve done this work myself and trust me, it’s good.
As a trauma-informed Breathwork Coach, Reiki Master Teacher, and Intuitive Guide, Trish’s work is to create and hold space for you and to serve as your guide back to your whole self. Trish believes that when we allow ourselves to be supported, we expedite our own healing and self-discovery. She knows this to be true from her own experience. And when you work with Trish, she’ll meet you not just as a teacher, but also as a student.
Topics covered in this episode include:
- What breathwork can do for you as a woman in midlife
- The different types of breathwork
- The simple science behind breathwork
- How to get started with breathwork
If you’re interested in learning new ways to heal, this is for you.
