    Not Broken: Rethinking Menopause, MHT & Healthy Aging - Exploring menopause beyond fear, hype, and one-size-fits-all solutions

    Send a text  Is menopause being misunderstood — and are women being taught to fear a natural transition instead of learning how to thrive through it?  In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone Wilson is joined by Melisa Byrne for an honest and nuanced conversation about perimenopause, menopause, and the growing debate around medicalisation and midlife health. Together, they explore the role of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), the impact of fear-based messaging around aging and brain health, and why diet, lifestyle, and nervous-system regulation remain central to long-term wellbeing. Rather than framing menopause as a problem to be fixed, Leone and Melisa discuss how women can approach this life stage with informed choice, grounded science, and self-trust. Expect a balanced discussion that challenges hype, honours individual experiences, and brings the focus back to education, empowerment, and healthy aging. This conversation is designed to support women navigating perimenopause and menopause — offering perspective, clarity, and a reminder that aging is not pathology, but a powerful biological transition.  As always, this conversation isn’t about telling women what they should or shouldn’t do — it’s about giving you the space, the knowledge, and the permission to understand your body in context, trust your own experience, and move through each life stage with informed choice rather than fear.  You can find us at - https://harvestinghealth.com.au/ facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LeoneDeborahWilsonNaturopath Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/harvesting_health_hub/

    Remembering Who You Are - Trauma Healing & The Truth Self

    Send a text In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone is joined by hypnotherapist Megan O'Connor to explore trauma, the subconscious mind, and how reconnecting with your "truth self" can create lasting change. In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone Wilson is joined by Megan O’Connor, a UK-based hypnotherapist whose work centres on helping women heal early life experiences, release chronic overwhelm, and reconnect with what she describes as their truth self. Together, Leone and Megan unpack what hypnotherapy really is — beyond myths and misconceptions — and how subconscious work can support emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and meaningful change. They explore how trauma and long-held stress patterns live not just in the mind, but in the body and subconscious, shaping behaviour, self-belief, and our capacity to feel safe, grounded and whole. This conversation gently weaves together lived experience, therapeutic insight and compassion, touching on: How early life experiences continue to influence adult wellbeingWhat hypnotherapy actually involves and how it differs from talk-based therapiesThe relationship between trauma, overwhelm and the nervous systemThe idea of healing as remembering, rather than fixingWhat it can look like when a woman reconnects with her inner agency and truthThis episode is reflective, grounded and deeply human — offering listeners a thoughtful introduction to hypnotherapy as one possible pathway within an integrative approach to healing. ⚠️ Listener Disclaimer / Content Note A gentle reminder that this episode is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for personalised medical, psychological or therapeutic care. While we discuss trauma, emotional healing and hypnotherapy, individual experiences vary, and what is appropriate for one person may not be suitable for another.

    Sleep: Nature's Nurse.

    Send a text Sleep isn't just rest, It's medicine In Ayurveda, sleep is considered one of the three foundational pillars of life, and when it's disrupted, everything else feels harder.  In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone is joined by Ayurvedic consultant and educator Caroline Robertson to explore sleep through an Ayurvedic lens - why your nervous system matters more than willpower, how different doshic patterns show up at night, and the gentle shifts that can help you sleep more deeply without forcing or fixing yourself. Sleep is often the first thing we sacrifice - and the first thing to suffer when life feels busy, stressful, or overwhelming. But in Ayurveda, sleep (known as Nidra) is not optional or indulgent - it is one of the essential pillars that support life, alongside nourishment and wise use of energy. Together, Leone and Caroline discuss: * why Ayurveda views sleep as a foundation of health, not a reward at the end of the day * how different dosha patterns can influence the way we struggle with sleep - from racing thoughts and light sleep, to night-time heat or heavy, unrefreshing rest * the role of the nervous system, circadian rhythms and evening routines in preparing the body for sleep * gentle, realistic practices that support rest without adding pressure or "sleep performance anxiety" This conversation is especially for anyone who feels tired but wired, lies awake overthinking,, or wakes feeling unrefreshed despite "doing all the right things". Rather than offering rigid rules, Caroline shares practical wisdom that honours individuality, nervous system regulation, and the importance of kindness toward yourself when sleep feels elusive. This episode is educational in nature and intended to support, not replace, personalised medical care. If sleep has become another thing you feel you're failing at, this episode offers a softer way forward.

    The Weight of Control: Where Pain Meets Possibility

    Send a text What if the thing you've been praised for - your discipline, your willpower, your "healthy lifestyle" - was actually hurting you? Eating disorders aren't really about food. They're about control, loss, identity and survival. And sometimes they hide in plain sight - behind clean eating, overtraining, perfectionism, and being the good girl who copes. In this episode of The Natural Narrative, I'm sharing my lived experience of anorexia, bulimia, and the long road through disordered eating - not from a clinical lens, but from inside. This is a conversation about what eating disorders do, why they make sense when you understand the pain underneath, and what real freedom can look like. If you've ever struggled with food, your body, or the feeling that you're never quite enough - this episode is for you.

    When Control Becomes Survival: The Truth About Eating Disorders

    Send a text  Eating disorders aren’t about food — they’re a way of creating control in an uncontrollable world, and in this conversation with Anjali Woodford, we explore the trauma-rooted patterns behind them and what true healing requires.  In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone sits down with clinician and educator Anjali Woodford to explore the deeper realities of eating disorders — far beyond food, weight, or appearance. Together, they unpack how eating disorders often emerge as a way to find control in environments that feel unpredictable, unsafe, or overwhelming. With more than 1.1 million Australians currently living with an eating disorder — a number that has risen by over 20% in the last decade — this conversation couldn’t be more timely. While around 67% of those affected are female, a significant 33% are male, reminding us that these conditions don’t discriminate and often go unnoticed until distress runs deep. This episode is a compassionate, trauma-informed look at the emotional roots of eating disorders, the impact on individuals and families, and what paths to healing can truly look like. some helpful links - Health at Every Size What is HAES (Health at Every Size) - Eating Disorders Families Australia Eating Disorders Australia Eating Disorders Australia - Support for Recovery & Health Professionals You can find us at - https://harvestinghealth.com.au/ facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LeoneDeborahWilsonNaturopath Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/harvesting_health_hub/
