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…

#43 The Importance Of Blood Sugar Balance At Perimenopause
I honestly believe that balancing our blood sugar levels is probably one of the most important things we can do at perimenopause!
90% of us suffer from too much glucose in our system - and most of us don't know it.
This affects not only our long term health but also affects how we experience peri/menopause.
Brain fog, mood swings, weight gain, heart palpitations, anxiety, irritability and many more peri symptoms can all be reduced once you learn to flatten your glucose spikes.
And the good news is, you can start today with some easy hacks I share in this episode.
Listen in to find out about:
🎙️What a glucose spike is
🎙️ What the blood sugar rollercoaster is and how to get off it
🎙️The short term and log term effects of glucose spikes on our body
