  #61 Your Perimenopause Questions, Answered

  Aug 30, 202631 minS5

  Over the past few months I've been running perimenopause masterclasses for several hundred women, and the questions and reflections that came up most often were too valuable to leave on those calls. So in this episode I read them out - anonymously - and answer them directly. Running underneath almost all of them was a single thread: my body is responding like an accumulation of a lifetime of stress, not just the stressful moment I'm in. I explore why perimenopause is far more than fluctuating hormones, and why the piece most professionals are missing is nervous system regulation. I explain what it means to have been living beyond your biological capacity for years before perimenopause even arrived, why capacity is physiological rather than a matter of mindset or willpower, and why boundaries so often collapse until the nervous system is regulated first.

  #60 Why Some Marriages Survive Midlife and Others Quietly End

  Aug 23, 202631 minS5

  Last week's episode on the couple in The Invite clearly struck a nerve, many of you reached out to say your own relationship feels hard right now. So this week I'm going deeper into a patterns I see constantly in my clinical practice, one a viral article in The Cut and a recent episode of Oprah's podcast have put a name to: women who have quietly checked out of their marriages while still living inside them. In this episode I unpack why that difference happens, what's really going on beneath the flatness and the distance, why the breaking point so often lands in midlife, and the three things you can start doing differently today. The HEAL Method is my evidence-based 12-week program combining clinical psychotherapy and naturopathy to regulate your nervous system and help you show up as yourself again. Join me live tomorrow — my Perimenopause & Stress Masterclass, Tuesday 25 August, 12pm AWST. If your capacity is running out and you can feel it, this is the one to be in the room for.

  #59 “The Invite”: what a movie can teach us about a long marriage

  Aug 16, 202631 minS5

  Olivia Wilde's The Invite plays out over a single evening, in one apartment, between two couples, and it was a sharp portrait of a stale, stagnant marriage. In this episode I look at it through a therapeutic lens: not a film review, but a way into what happens to long-term relationships as we age, and why so many capable, self-aware women end up feeling unseen inside them. I work through three clinically important themes: Evolution and the unspoken contract - why we examine everything at the start of a relationship and then never renegotiate it, and Marion Woodman's idea that we have several marriages within one, each arriving only when we let go of who we needed our partner to be. Desire versus security - Esther Perel's work on why the very safety that stabilises a marriage can flatten desire, and what that means through perimenopause and beyond. Being seen versus performing - how resentment, self-abandonment and old people-pleasing patterns quietly erode intimacy. You can listen whether or not you've seen the film. I close with two questions worth sitting with, and how this connects to the deeper pattern work in the second phase of the HEAL Method .

  #58 Five Things Happy Women Do in Midlife

  Aug 9, 202633 minS5

  Women today have more opportunity than any generation before them, and yet the research on how women actually feel has gone the other way, with a real dip in wellbeing through midlife. In this episode, Alex turns to what she sees firsthand in the women who feel genuinely content despite that, and walks through five practices they share. The foundation everything rests on: a nervous system that can tolerate discomfort without becoming overwhelmed. From there, treating the body as a partner rather than a machine to push through; holding both meaning and purpose, and why they aren't the same thing; making room for enjoyment and joy as real physiological inputs rather than indulgences; and learning to trust intuition once there's enough regulation to hear it. Not about chasing calm or collecting more things to get right, it's about building the capacity to feel your life and stay present to it. This is the work at the centre of the HEAL Method.

  #57 What Oxygen and Red Light Therapy Can Offer the Perimenopausal Body

  Aug 2, 202644 minS5

  In this episode I sit down with Natalie White, founder of Studio2 HBOT, to unpack what hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and red light therapy actually do in the body, and why they matter for women navigating perimenopause. We move past the athlete-recovery framing most people associate with HBOT and into the territory that's relevant for midlife women: chronic inflammation, mitochondrial function, energy production, disrupted sleep, brain fog, and a nervous system that's running hot. Natalie explains how increasing oxygen at a cellular level supports the body's own capacity to heal, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how these therapies work as terrain support rather than a magic fix. We also talk about the piece so many women miss - that the anxiety, exhaustion, and "wound like a cork" tension of perimenopause is an inside job, driven by physiological change rather than personal failure. Natalie shares what she sees clinically, the emerging research on nervous system regulation and vagal tone, and why an hour in the chamber can be both a down regulation tool and a rare, guilt-free act of self-care. Whether you're curious about HBOT, red light, or simply why your body feels different lately, this is a grounded, practical way in.
