    62. The Power of Breathwork with Gemma Rose

    In today's episode, I'm joined by Gemma from Gemma Rose, who helps individuals with inner work and breathwork to transform their mindset and nervous system. Her offerings focus on personal growth, healing, and connecting with one's authentic self.   We discuss Gemma's journey, including her experience with postpartum depression and anxiety, and how breathwork helped her heal stress and tension.  We dive into breathwork as a tool to reconnect the body-mind system and process emotions, sensations, and memories. Gemma explains how it aids in completing stress cycles and processing trauma, fostering creativity and dream manifestation. She emphasizes the importance of a trauma-informed facilitator for breathwork journeys.  Gemma shares a simple breathwork practice and offers insights on guilt-free self-care. This episode powerfully reminds us that self-care is a generous act benefiting family and community.   Mon x   🌹Check out Gemma's Instagram  🦋 Visit the Gemma Rose website ⚡️ Start my 3-part Health & Energy Upgrade 💖 Check out The Four of You course 📱 Discover the Nourish App 🧘‍♀️ Enquire about 1:1 Bespoke Hormone and Cycle Coaching 👉 Follow me on Instagram ✨ Check out my Website 💌 Sign up to my newsletter for weekly hormone tips 👩‍💻 Email me at hello@moniquedickson.com

    61. The Shift into Motherhood with Rachel Bettinzoli

    In today's episode, I'm joined by the amazing Rachel Bettinzoli, an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Wellness Coach who specialises in women's health and matrescence. Together, we explore what it means to move through a "wintering" season - those slower, heavier times in life when everything feels like a stretch. Rachel generously shares her own journey and the deep realisations that followed. We also dive into matrescence, the profound (and often unspoken) identity shift that happens when we become mothers. Like adolescence, it's messy, transformational, and deeply personal. It affects every part of us - physically, emotionally, socially and it's not a sign you're broken. You're growing. Rachel also shares her powerful "power of one" practice, an approach to rebuilding strength, energy, and confidence one small, gentle step at a time. This episode powerful reminder that health isn't about doing more or trying harder. It's about honouring where you are, listening to your body, and letting yourself be supported.

    60. How to make time for yourself (even when you feel like you can't)

    In today's episode, I'm talking about something that so many women are craving - but struggling to access in the middle of busy, full lives: making time for ourselves. You don't need a new routine, a better planner, or a complete life overhaul. What you do need is a fresh perspective - a new way of approaching the moments you already have. I'll show you how to find space in your day (yes, even the tiniest pockets) to support your health, your energy, and your sense of self.

    59. Ditching Botox with Ash McLocklan

    In today's episode, we have a special guest Ash McLocklan, who talks all about something that's become way too normal - Botox. But this isn't your typical skincare chat. This is a raw, real conversation about why Ash decided to ditch Botox for good - and how she found a completely free, natural way to support her skin that actually works. We talk about facial tension, aging, skin confidence, and the pressure to "fix" our faces. Ash shares how simple facial massage became her self-care practice - not just for her skin, but for her stress too. No fancy products, no appointments. Just her hands and a few minutes a day. If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought, "I wish I could change this…" - this episode is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.

    58. Why mindfulness is the missing link to your health journey

    In today's episode, I'm diving into the one piece that so many women are missing on their health journey—mindfulness. Mindfulness isn't just a buzzword—it's a way of coming back to yourself. Back to presence. Back to healing. In this episode, I'll show you why being more mindful (in really simple, doable ways) might just be the shift your body's been asking for. The smallest shifts can create big changes in your energy, hormones, and overall well-being.

    57. What every woman over 35 needs to know

    In today's episode, I'm having a real, raw conversation with you about what's actually going on in your body once you hit 35 and beyond. We've normalised so much — the brain fog, the low libido, the joint pain, the exhaustion that never lets up — and we've been told it's all just "part of getting older." But what if that wasn't the whole truth? Your 30s and 40s aren't the beginning of the end — they're the beginning of a deeper connection with your health.

    56. How to support your immune system as we go into winter

    In this episode, I'm bringing you a cosy, nourishing chat about something that matters more than ever as we move into the colder months: your immune system. We're deep into autumn here on the farm — the ponies are rugged, the fire's crackling, and it's that time of year when the bugs and sniffles start to creep in. If you've ever felt like your body's working against you — you're eating well, you're trying all the supplements, but you're still exhausted and dragging yourself through the day — this episode is for you. I'm diving into the five essential (but often overlooked) ways to support not just your immunity, but your family's too. Because as mums, we're often the ones picking up the pieces when sickness hits. But what if you could build a foundation that helps prevent it in the first place?

    55. The cool things that happen when you get healthy

    In this episode, I'm switching things up. We talk so often about the symptoms, the struggles, the fatigue, and the hormone chaos (and yes, those are real and valid). But today? I want to remind you why all your hard work matters. I'm sharing 10 incredibly cool things that start happening when your body gets back in balance — things that actually make life easier, more joyful, and way more vibrant. I'm also sharing something personal — a little life update that's been brewing since December — and what pregnancy has taught me (again) about the beauty of living in sync with our bodies. This episode is your permission slip to dream again about what's possible with your health — and to feel so proud of every step you've taken. Let this be your reminder: it can be you too.
