MENOMORPHOSIS
Midlife conversations for women who are ready to breathe new life into who they are.
What if midlife wasn’t a crisis… but an invitation?
A call to come home to yourself. To finally drop the masks, rewrite the rules, and reconnect with your truest, most powerful self.
Menomorphosis is the podcast for women who are done with just pushing through. Here, we explore what it means to reclaim your energy, rewrite your patterns, and rewire your nervous system for the life you actually want.
From hormone health to breathwork, identity shifts to emotional healing, these are real conversations for women who are ready to evolve — on purpose.
✨ With expert guests, grounded tools, and honest reflections, each episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and transform — from the inside out.

#151: Why do I Keep Doing this with Kati Morton
On this week's episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Kati Morton — licensed therapist, bestselling author, and one of the very first mental health professionals to step onto YouTube.
Since then, Kati's channel has grown to over a 1.5 million subscribers, not because she chased fame, but because people recognised her gift of making mental health feel accessible, human, and far less overwhelming.
In this conversation, Kati and I dive into the inner landscapes so many of us find ourselves navigating — self-doubt, shifting identities, emotional load, and the patterns we cling to when life feels uncertain.
We also explore her new book, Why Do I Keep Doing This?, a compassionate look at perfectionism, control, people-pleasing, and all the ways we try to keep ourselves safe.
✨ What you’ll learn in this episode
- The patterns of control many of us lean on (perfectionism, people-pleasing, overfunctioning) — and what they’re actually protecting us from.
- How childhood blueprints shape the way we show up in adult relationships, especially during stressful life transitions.
- The early warning signs of emotional overload: irritability, resentment, and the quiet “red flags” we often ignore.
- Practical tools for managing anger and anxiety, particularly during perimenopause and menopause.
- Why accepting help feels so uncomfortable — and how to open to support without losing your sense of self.
- The importance of modelling healthy conflict for our children, even if we didn’t grow up seeing it ourselves.
- How to take small, compassionate steps towards breaking old patterns and building emotional resilience.
