    Ep102 Manifest Like a Mother: 3 Ways to Enjoy Motherhood, Feel Less Overwhelmed & Care for Yourself

    What if motherhood wasn't just about making amazing memories for your children, but about creating an experience that you genuinely enjoy, too? In this episode of the Perimenopause & Motherhood, Amanda explores three powerful takeaways from the book Manifest Like a Mother by Francesca Amber, with practical ideas to help you navigate the demands of motherhood, perimenopause and everyday life. As mums, it's easy to spend so much time looking after everyone else that our own needs slip to the bottom of the list. Between work, family life, household responsibilities and the changes that can come with perimenopause, it's no wonder we sometimes feel overwhelmed, exhausted or a little disconnected from ourselves. In this episode, Amanda shares three ideas inspired by the book that really resonated with her, alongside examples from her own family life. How to create a home that feels like a sanctuary.  Why you deserve to enjoy motherhood.  How to care for your future self. Tomorrow you and in a year(s) from now. Why looking after yourself matters in perimenopause.  How to start creating a future that excites you.  Three simple ways to start thriving If you're navigating perimenopause, motherhood and wanting some simple inspiration to create meaningful change- this episode is for you.

    Ep 101: Scoliosis, Menopause, Motherhood & Learning to Ask: “What Do I Need Today?” with Christine Jaureguiberry

    What happens when motherhood, menopause, changing bodies and the demands of everyday life all collide? In this episode of the Perimenopause and Motherhood: Real Life Wellbeing for Happy Thriving Mums, Amanda chats with yoga and Pilates teacher Christine Jaureguiberry, who specialises in helping adults with scoliosis move with greater awareness, confidence and understanding. Christine has lived with scoliosis since she was a teenager. After years of trying different approaches to manage back pain, she discovered yoga and eventually trained as a yoga teacher after having her children. Today, she runs an online business helping people with scoliosis through yoga, Pilates and mindful movement. But this conversation becomes about so much more than scoliosis. We talk about what happens to our relationship with our bodies as we move through motherhood, perimenopause and midlife, why pain doesn't always mean that something is damaged, the importance of breathing and nervous-system regulation, and why our bodies need different things at different stages of life. And there is one particularly powerful question Christine has learned to ask herself every day: “What do I need today?” It sounds simple. But for women who have spent years knowing exactly what everyone else needs, it can be surprisingly difficult to answer. In this episode, we explore: 👉Christine's personal experience of living with scoliosis and how it led her towards yoga and Pilates 👉 What scoliosis actually is and how it can affect movement, posture and muscular balance 👉The relationship between menopause, ageing and confidence in your body 👉Why “I'm getting old, so this is just how it is” isn't necessarily the end of the story 👉Why pain doesn't always mean that something is broken or damaged 👉The connection Christine sees between stress, the nervous system and pain 👉How motherhood can change our identity and teach us to put ourselves second Christine's story is a reminder of the power of movement and the importance of finding supportive communities in our wellness journeys. Her experiences and insights encourage us to embrace our unique paths, especially when faced with physical challenges and that sometimes a simple question and allowing fun in is what we need to thrive.

    Ep 100 🥳 100 Episodes of Happy Thriving Mums: 6 Lessons on Thriving in Motherhood and Midlife

    Welcome to the 100th episode of the Podcast! 🥳 To celebrate this milestone, Amanda looks back at the wisdom shared by 19 incredible women interviewed on the podcast, bringing together their most powerful advice on how to thrive through motherhood, midlife and perimenopause. From fitness and wellbeing to psychology, sleep, mindset, parenting, business and beyond, these conversations have explored what it really means to be a happy, thriving mum. Because let's face it: when you're juggling work, family life, relationships and the everyday demands of motherhood, it's easy to find yourself at the bottom of your own to-do list. Add the physical and emotional changes of perimenopause, and life can sometimes feel like a lot. But thriving doesn't mean having everything figured out, feeling happy all the time or getting everything right. It's about finding realistic ways to look after yourself, navigate challenges and reconnect with the person you are beyond all the roles you carry. In this special 100th episode, Amanda shares six recurring lessons from her wonderful podcast guests that can help you feel calmer, more energised and more connected to yourself. We explore: ✨ Making time for yourself without guilt ✨Letting go of mum guilt and perfectionism ✨Building your village and asking for help ✨Reconnecting with yourself in midlife: ✨Finding joy and having fun ✨Remembering that small things make a big difference Amanda also shares a few memorable pieces of advice from her guests, including a simple daily practice for recognising your wins, the confidence boost of a well-fitting bra and the importance of daring to dream big. Amanda reflects on what she has learned from her guests and her own podcasting journey: thriving isn't about everything being easy or having every part of your life sorted. It's about making space for yourself, letting go of the pressure to be perfect, asking for help, staying connected to who you are and choosing to create a life that feels meaningful to you. As one guest, Christina Cavezza, reminded Amanda, committing to live the life you want despite the challenges isn't always easy, but it's worth it. Here's to celebrating how far you've come, recognising the small wins and being brave enough to imagine what might be possible next.

    Ep99 Sleep in Perimenopause: 4 Sleep Friends & 4 Sleep Foes for Better Sleep

    Is sleep feeling a little more unpredictable than it used to? Maybe you're exhausted when you go to bed but can't switch your brain off. Maybe you're waking at 2am, getting too hot in the night, or finding yourself staring at the clock wondering how you're going to function tomorrow. And then there’s motherhood, work, family life and everything else that can make a good night's sleep feel completely out of your control. In this episode, Amanda explores the idea of sleep friends and sleep foes, not as another list of rules to follow, but as a way of becoming curious about what helps or hinders your sleep during perimenopause. You can't control everything that happens during the night. You can't control your hormones, your children waking up, the foxes outside or your partner's snoring! But you can influence some of the signals you're giving your body throughout the day. In this episode, Amanda explores: 🌅 Morning light: why getting natural daylight early in the day can help support your circadian rhythm and give your body a clear signal that it's time to wake up. 🚶‍♀️ Movement: how moving your body during the day helps create a clearer distinction between being awake and being asleep. ⏰ Rhythm and routine: why your body loves predictable signals and how gently re-establishing your daily rhythm after the chaos of summer can support sleep. 🌙 A simple wind-down ritual: creating a little transition between the busyness of the day and getting ready for sleep, without needing a complicated 45-minute bedtime routine. ☕ Caffeine: becoming a sleep detective and noticing whether your afternoon coffee or tea is affecting your sleep. 🍷 Alcohol: why alcohol can affect sleep quality and why curiosity is more useful than guilt or rigid rules. 📱 Evening stimulation: how emails, social media, TV, news and the general busyness of modern life can leave your brain feeling wired when you're trying to sleep. 🔥 Overheating: particularly relevant if you're experiencing hot flushes or night sweats during perimenopause. And perhaps most importantly, Amanda talks about worrying about sleep itself, that frustrating cycle of watching the clock, counting how many hours you have left and becoming increasingly anxious about not sleeping. If you're navigating perimenopause, motherhood, disrupted sleep, night sweats, low energy or the general chaos of midlife, this episode is for you.

    Ep 98 Unusual Perimenopause Symptoms You Might Not Recognise + How to Prepare for Your GP Appointment

    In this episode of the Happy Thriving Mums Podcast, Amanda shares more about her own experience of perimenopause, including some of the symptoms she didn't initially realise could be connected to hormonal changes. Following on from the previous episode about the overlap between perimenopause symptoms and the everyday symptoms of motherhood, Amanda explores some of the less obvious things that can happen during perimenopause. From brain fog and rage to changes in mood, caffeine and alcohol sensitivity, and even unusual tingling sensations. She also talks honestly about anhedonia, a symptom where you lose interest in or enjoyment of things that used to make you happy, and reflects on how this has shown up at different points in her experience of motherhood and perimenopause. This episode isn't just about recognising symptoms. If your perimenopause symptoms are starting to affect your quality of life, Amanda talks through how you can prepare for a conversation with your GP, including what information to gather, what questions you might want to ask and how to make the most of your appointment. In this episode we explore: 👉 What perimenopause can actually feel like beyond the more commonly discussed symptoms 👉 Some unusual or unexpected perimenopause symptoms you might not immediately connect with hormonal changes 👉 Anhedonia and losing interest or enjoyment in things you previously loved 👉 When it might be time to speak to your GP 👉 How to prepare for a perimenopause or menopause appointment One of the biggest messages from this episode is that you don't have to simply put up with symptoms that are making everyday life harder. Perimenopause is different for every woman. Symptoms can vary enormously, change over time and overlap with the realities of motherhood, stress, work and everyday life. This isn't about diagnosing yourself from a podcast. If you're experiencing symptoms that are affecting your quality of life, it's worth having a conversation with an appropriate healthcare professional about what's happening for you.

    Ep 97 Perimenopause Symptoms vs Motherhood: Is It Perimenopause or Just Mum Life?

    Are you feeling more tired, emotional, forgetful or overwhelmed than usual and wondering “Is this perimenopause, or am I just exhausted from being a mum?” You’re not imagining it — and you’re certainly not alone. In this episode of the Happy Thriving Mums Podcast, we’re exploring the confusing overlap between perimenopause symptoms and the realities of motherhood. Because when you're in your 40s, life can already be a lot. You might be juggling children, work, relationships, caring responsibilities, the mental load, mum guilt and a thousand other things… while your hormones are changing in the background. So how do you know what’s causing the way you feel? The truth is, sometimes you can’t neatly separate perimenopause from motherhood. Life isn't divided into little boxes. Your hormones, sleep, stress, family life and everything else happening around you can all influence how you feel. All at the same time. In this episode, Amanda explores: 👉 The most common signs and symptoms of perimenopause 👉 Why perimenopause symptoms can be so difficult to recognise 👉 Why low confidence and self-esteem can feel particularly challenging in midlife 👉 The overlap between perimenopause and motherhood symptoms 👉 How the mental load and “mother load” can affect your wellbeing 👉 The additional pressures of being part of the sandwich generation 👉 Why tracking your symptoms can help you spot patterns and trends 👉 When it’s important to speak to your GP or another health professional 👉 Why asking for help and prioritising your own wellbeing isn't selfish Midlife is messy. Life is a blend of all the roles we carry, and sometimes the symptoms of motherhood and perimenopause can look remarkably similar. If you're experiencing symptoms that are interfering with your everyday life, speak to your GP or an appropriate healthcare professional. You can also use a perimenopause symptom checker and symptom tracker to start recording what you're experiencing and look for patterns from the Menopause Charity available here: https://themenopausecharity.org/information-and-support/symptoms/  And, of course, have a browse through the other episodes of the Happy Thriving Mums Podcast, where we explore practical ways to navigate perimenopause, motherhood, wellbeing and all the messy bits of midlife.

    Ep 96 Redefining Success in Midlife: Finding Your Identity, Purpose & Joy Again with Victoria Phipps MBE

    What if you don’t have to keep living life the way you’ve always lived it? In this episode of Happy Thriving Mums, Amanda speaks with Victoria Phipps MBE- podcaster, photographer, educator and mum about what happens when you dare to do things differently. As millenial women move through their 40s and beyond, so much can change. Motherhood, careers, relationships, our bodies and perimenopause can all prompt us to question who we are and what we actually want from life. But perhaps this stage of life isn't about finding your way back to the woman you used to be but moreso about discovering who you are now. Amanda and Victoria explore what it means to redefine success on your own terms, navigate changing identity, follow your curiosity and passions, and have the courage to create a life that feels genuinely fulfilling. If you’ve ever thought “Is this really it?”, felt disconnected from the person you used to be, or wondered whether you’re allowed to want something different, this conversation is for you.

    Ep 95: September New Year Vibes? Why Starting Something New Feels So Hard (Especially in Perimenopause)

    September can feel like a second New Year. The children go back to school, routines change, and suddenly there’s that familiar urge to reset: exercise more, eat better, spend less time scrolling, make more time for yourself and finally tackle all those things you've been meaning to do. But what happens when starting something new feels… uncomfortable? In this episode of Happy Thriving Mums, Amanda reflects on what she learned about herself over the summer: she takes time to warm up to new situations and find her groove. From navigating the summer holidays to actually swimming in the sea, Amanda explores why unfamiliar situations can trigger feelings of anxiety, worry and discomfort — and why this doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. She also looks at how this can relate to perimenopause, when changes such as brain fog, hot flushes, disrupted routines and unfamiliar symptoms can leave you wondering what is happening to your body. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to throw yourself into change overnight. Whether you're starting a new exercise routine, changing how you eat, spending less time on social media or simply trying to prioritise rest, small, consistent steps can help you gradually find your groove. In this episode, Amanda explores: ✨ Why new and unfamiliar situations can make us feel anxious or uncomfortable ✨Why it can take time to “find your feet” when something changes ✨ How our natural fight-or-flight response can influence how we respond to uncertainty ✨ Why understanding what is happening during perimenopause can make symptoms feel less frightening ✨ Why starting a new exercise or healthy eating habit can feel uncomfortable at first ✨ How small, consistent actions can help new habits become easier ✨ Why taking time to rest can feel surprisingly uncomfortable for busy mums ✨ How to approach a September reset without putting unnecessary pressure on yourself ✨ Why you don't need to change everything at once to start feeling healthier, calmer and more energised A little reminder for September: If you're feeling like you should be doing more, changing more or getting yourself back on track this September, remember: You are allowed to ease yourself in. Give yourself time. Give yourself kindness. Take small steps. You might just find that the thing that feels unfamiliar today becomes the thing that helps you thrive tomorrow.
