In this heartfelt and humorous conversation, Edwina is joined by speaker and creator Jane McCann to explore the raw realities and surprising gifts of perimenopause. Jane shares her personal journey, beginning at age 43 with misdiagnosis, antidepressants, and a mental health crisis, before discovering support through social media, alternative practices, and self-care.
Together, Edwina and Jane discuss:
🌸 Perimenopause as Transformation – from the challenges of misdiagnosis to finding purpose and strength after 50.
🌸 Empowerment in Menopause – increased confidence, sexual satisfaction, and freedom that can come in this new life stage.
🌸 Embracing Ageing Naturally – letting go of the pressure to stay youthful and instead honouring the beauty of natural change.
🌸 Body & Mind Shifts – weight gain, sleep changes, and body image, with tools like exercise, Yoga Nidra, and self-acceptance.
🌸 Daily Self-Care & Gratitude – from meditation to positive affirmations, Jane reminds us that aging is a gift and self-love is the foundation. This episode is a blend of honesty, humour, and wisdom—an invitation to reframe perimenopause as a season of empowerment, authenticity, and deep self-care. 🌸
