MENOMORPHOSIS
MENOMORPHOSIS is the go-to podcast for midlife women who are ready to stop feeling like a stranger in their own body — and start feeling calm, energised, and back in charge.
If you're navigating peri/menopause or the messy middle of midlife, you’ll find grounded support, science-backed tools, and compassionate conversations to help you feel more like yourself again — only wiser.
Hosted by Breath & Wellness Coach Polly Warren, each episode blends real-life insight with nervous system know-how to help you navigate hormones, emotions, energy, and identity with more ease — and a lot less pressure.
So take a deep breath. And when you’re ready…
Let the beautiful Menomorphosis begin.

#144: When You’re Tired of Snapping But Can’t Seem to Stop
Ever find yourself snapping at the smallest thing — and then instantly regretting it?
In this solo episode, I unpack the real reason irritability spikes in midlife — especially for women juggling perimenopause, invisible loads, and nervous systems that never get a moment’s rest.
I explore:
- Why you’re not “overreacting” — you’re overcapacity
- The link between chronic over-breathing and emotional reactivity
- What the snap moment is really showing you (it’s not failure, it’s feedback)
- How to gently widen your Window of Tolerance using breathwork, cold exposure, and more
- What it means to feel resourced enough to respond instead of react — and how to build that inner capacity
If you’ve ever said, “I don’t want to be this reactive, but I don’t know how to stop,” this episode is your moment of pause, permission, and possibility.
