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…

#64 Women in the Workforce: Overcoming Menopause Challenges with Gaele Lalahy
Menopause is currently costing the economy a staggering £10 billion, considering the number of sick days, resignations, loss of talent and recruitment expenses.
However, envision a world where women receive better support in the workplace, enabling them to advance their careers and assume leadership positions in boardrooms. My guest this week, Gaele Lalahy, is dedicated to making this vision a reality.
Gaele is the COO of Balance, a femtech start-up founded by menopause expert, Dr. Louise Newson. Their mission is to create an inclusive and accessible menopause app, providing crucial support to women during peri/menopause.
Join us in this conversation where we discuss;
- The impact of menopause on the workforce and the economy
- Transitioning from an established global brand to a menopause start-up
- The challenges faced by women in the workforce during menopause
- How Balance helps with diagnosis and access to suitable treatments
- The importance of symptom tracking
- The power of purpose in driving meaningful change
- How Balance has become a significant resource for women worldwide.
