In this episode of Wild, Wise & Curious, we meet Sarah and explore how life’s experiences can quietly - and sometimes radically - alter the trajectory of our lives.
Sarah shares what it was like becoming a mum again at 40, the joy and euphoria of welcoming her youngest child and the shock of perimenopause arriving soon after. What followed was a profound crash: a body that suddenly felt like it was crumbling, all while caring for a young family and managing emotions tied to a deeply personal time in her life.
We talk honestly about physical symptoms - aches and pains, fatigue, hair and muscle loss, erratic periods - and the emotional toll of trying to make sense of it all when you didn’t even realise perimenopause was a thing.
There’s also a beautiful thread of connection running through this episode, as Sarah reflects on navigating this journey alongside her twin sister, and how shared understanding, stress, life experience and support, shape the way we move through this stage. It’s also where we begin to see the seeds of why Sarah eventually trained as a hypnotherapist - a way to steady her own anxiety and better understand the inner worlds of the people she loves.
This is a conversation about motherhood, menopause, resilience and the weight many women hold by midlife - and that quiet (and sometimes noisy) strength it takes to keep going.
