Episode Synopsis


Ever felt like your body and mind were working against you, right when you’re at the peak of your career? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving deep into perimenopause, how it affects women in mid-career, and what we can do to navigate it with confidence and clarity.
I’m joined by Dr Kirstey Holland, Founder, Director and principal practitioner of The Holland Clinic and an expert in women’s health and hormones, who breaks down the real impact of perimenopause on our energy, focus, and overall well-being. She also shares how we can navigate this transition with fewer side effects by making intentional lifestyle choices, from diet and stress management to the right kinds of movement.
In this episode, we cover: 

What perimenopause actually is (and why we don’t talk about it enough)
The surprising symptoms that might be affecting your career (low energy and brain fog, anyone?)
Suggestions on how to approach workplace conversations about perimenopause
Simple strategies to support your body and mind through the transition
How to reduce symptoms through targeted nutrition, movement, and stress management

I know I learnt a HUGE amount from Dr Holland on this episode, and I am sure you will too. Tune in and take back control!
