In this honest and empowering solo episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, Soraya explores the often-overlooked reality of perimenopause — and why this phase is about far more than just hormones.
Drawing on both personal experience and her work as a clinical hypnotherapist, she shares insight into the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that can arise during midlife. From anxiety and mood swings to brain fog and a loss of self, this episode sheds light on the symptoms many women experience but are rarely prepared for.
Blending body-based awareness with a clinical lens, Soraya offers a deeper understanding of how hormonal changes impact not only physical health, but also emotional wellbeing, relationships, and sense of identity.
This episode is a powerful reminder that what may feel like a breakdown is often an invitation into a profound period of transformation.
🌸 In this episode, she explores:
✨ Perimenopause symptoms including anxiety, mood swings, and brain fog
✨ Why many women feel like they are “losing themselves” during midlife
✨ The connection between hormones, emotions, and the nervous system
✨ Why this phase can feel like a breaking point in relationships
✨ The deeper meaning of menopause — including its evolutionary perspective
✨ How to begin reconnecting with the body and rebuilding self-trust
Soraya brings a compassionate and grounded perspective, helping women make sense of what they are experiencing and feel less alone in the process.
This episode is especially for women navigating perimenopause, emotional overwhelm, or identity shifts — offering reassurance, clarity, and a new way of understanding this stage of life.
This isn’t just a medical milestone — it’s a transition into a new version of you.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
If this episode resonated, you're not alone.
So many women quietly navigate anxiety, burnout, people pleasing, hormonal shifts and the feeling of losing themselves somewhere along the way.
But your body isn't working against you.
Sometimes it's gently asking you to slow down, reconnect, and come back to yourself.
