Episode 2: Grief & perimenopause - starting 2026 slow!
In this deeply personal episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why I’m choosing a "slow start" for 2026. After a 2025 that brought the unexpected loss of my mum, complex family transitions, and the physical toll of perimenopause, I’m sharing how I’ve had to reframe what "strength" really looks like.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to "grind" while your heart is breaking, or if you're struggling to balance hormonal changes with the "invisible load" of midlife, this episode is your permission slip to breathe. I’m getting honest about why you can’t biohack a broken heart, how grief and perimenopause overlap, and why filling your "oxytocin tank" is the most productive thing you can do this year.
In this episode, I’m diving into:
💗The 2025 Year-in-Review: Lessons from a "Perfect Storm."
💗Why "sucking it up" is a one-way street to burnout.
💗Navigating the loss of a parent while running a business.
💗Why mindset must come before muscle in 2026.
💗Practical "Slow Goals" for sustainable resilience.
