Take A Breath
A podcast for creating practical calm in the messy middle of midlife.
This is your space to pause.
Because life in midlife is full-on. Between work, family, menopause, and the mental load, your nervous system can easily end up in constant overdrive — leaving you feeling exhausted, reactive, and overwhelmed by even the smallest things.
Each week, I’ll share my own tools, alongside honest conversations and practical nervous system support — to help you create more calm, peace, joy, and inner steadiness. Not by escaping your life, because that’s totally unrealistic, but by meeting it differently.
So when you're ready, let’s take a breath together…
Take A Breath
#31 Early Perimenopause & Positive Psychology with Adele Johnston
Do you feel that somedays you've got this menopause business under control but on other days everything feels like it's spiralling out of control?
I hear you! Peri/menopause is a rollercoaster of a ride so it's vitally important that we have an armoury of wellness tools available to help us remain calm, balanced and feeling in control.
So I was delighted to chat to this week's guest Adele Johnston. Not only is Adele a menopause coach and a certified nutritionist, but she is also positive psychology coach.
Adele discovered she was perimenopausal at the young age of 37 so knows first hand how important it is to look after ourselves at menopause, particularly our mindset.
Join us in this conversation where we talk about:
🎙️Adele’s experience of an early perimenopause in her 30s
🎙️How bloodwork can help us get clarity
🎙️The effects of chronic stress on our hormones and how to disrupt it
🎙️The benefits of gratitude and how to practice it
🎙️The difference between gratitude and toxic positivity
🎙️What affirmations are and how they can help us to feel more positive and confident
🎙️What you can do if your perimenopause symptoms are affecting you at work
🎙️How our breath can help keep us in the present moment
