We hear it all the time:
“I don’t feel like myself anymore…”
And then comes the classic brush-off — “It’s just your age.”

In this episode, we dig into why that phrase isn’t just unhelpful… it’s often the reason women stay stuck for far longer than they need to.

We unpack what women over 40 are actually experiencing day to day — the energy crashes, disrupted sleep, brain fog, weight changes that don’t play by the old rules, and mood shifts that seem to come out of nowhere.

Then we get into the real issue: when everything gets labelled as “normal”, it shuts down curiosity, delays support, and leaves women questioning themselves instead of the advice they’ve been given.

Because yes, age plays a role — but it’s not an explanation.

We break down what’s really going on beneath the surface, from hormonal shifts to stress, blood sugar, and sleep disruption, and why your old routines suddenly stop delivering.

Most importantly, we talk about what women actually need — not more discipline, but a smarter, more personalised approach that fits this stage of life.

If you’ve ever been told “it’s just your age”… this episode will help you see things very differently.

And if it hits close to home, it might be time to take a proper look at what’s going on for you.
