    Resilient Voices Series: Building Resilience Through Grief

    Grief is something every one of us will face in life — yet so many of us are never taught how to navigate it. In this deeply honest and compassionate episode of Root to Resilience, Anupa is joined by grief-informed guide and podcast host Nina Rodriguez for a powerful conversation on grief, loss, and resilience. Together, they explore how we can build emotional strength while honouring the very real pain that comes with losing someone we love.

    Resilient Voices Series: How Reframing Menopause Turns Burnout into Empowerment

    Menopause isn't just a phase, it’s a powerful turning point. With around 13 million UK women perimenopausal or menopausal, and 80% experiencing disruptive symptoms, it’s clear that this transition is deeply lived, and very often misunderstood. In this episode of Root to Resilience, Anupa talks with menopause coach and movement advocate Sahir Ahmed Evans, whose journey from burnout to empowerment is as raw as it is uplifting. Sahir’s transformation—from hospital beds and health concerns to becoming a public speaker and coach—reframes menopause not as a breakdown, but as a powerful rebirth. Together, they unpack how the intertwined paths of mindset, movement, and nourishment can reset women’s energy, rebuild resilience, and turn midlife into a thriving era filled with strength and renewal. 👉 Tune in to discover: ✅ Why menopause can be your breakthrough moment, not a breakdown ✅ How burnout and midlife collide—and ways to disrupt that cycle ✅ Small, powerful shifts to help you reclaim confidence and steadiness ✅ How micro-habits and consistent movement build resilience over time ✅ The power of visibility, legacy, and strength in shaping your midlife identity This conversation is a powerful reminder that menopause is not the end — it’s a reset. With the right mindset and practices, midlife becomes not just survivable, but soulfully empowering. 🗣️ “You are not broken. You are becoming.” 🗣️ “Menopause isn’t a breakdown — it’s a breakthrough.” 🗣️ “When we choose ourselves, we reclaim our power.” 📩 Contact Anupa for speaking opportunities, team workshops and resilience coaching: anupa@roottoresilience.com Connect with Sahir here: Sahir Ahmed-Evans | Menopause Coach | Consultant | Speaker (@saeempowercoaching) • Instagram photos and videos If Root to Resilience has inspired you, please take a moment to rate, review, follow, and share the podcast — it helps us reach more amazing listeners like you!
