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…

#69 Menopause broke me and was the making of me with Debs Wallbank
My guest this week is Menopause Warrior Debs Wallbank. At 40, Debs had reached her career goal, she'd fulfilled a personal goal to travel around Australia and was happily married.
But less than 3 years later, her marriage began to disintegrate. She lost multiple jobs and then her home. She hit her lowest of lows.
But now just 2 years later, she's happier than she's ever been!
Today Debs realises that it was menopause that broke her but she also believes it has been the making of her.
Debs is now proud to share her own experiences to support and empower others.
In our conversation together Debs vulnerably shares her story, which I’m so grateful for because by sharing these stories, we are not only removing the stigma of menopause but we're also raising awareness of some really important issues, particularly in Deb's case, the importance of education about HRT.
