It was so lovely to be invited to talk, with Kat and Tori, on this podcast about my personal and professional experience of menopause. I hope you enjoy the sharing.
With warmth Lou.
About the episode
In this episode of Hot Flush Happy Hour, Kat and Tori are joined by their lovely friend Lou Rubie, a trauma-aware counsellor and somatic practitioner. Together, they explore a whole-person approach to menopause – and why learning to work with your body can change everything.
Lou shares her own experience navigating menopause after a hysterectomy, including the shock of being diagnosed with osteoporosis despite living a really healthy, active lifestyle. It’s such a powerful reminder that there’s a lot going on during this phase [of life] that we don’t always see.
We get into how menopause is about so much more than just hormones, how it can affect your nervous system in ways you might not expect – and why so many women end up feeling like they’re ‘not quite themselves’.
This conversation is really an invitation to slow down, tune in, and start listening to your body in a different way.
Because, maybe it’s not about pushing through…
Maybe it’s about learning to work with your body instead.
So grab your favourite beverage and join us for an informative, feel-good chat – full of laughs and the beautiful warmth of the lovely Lou.
