ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Rowena talks about the early symptoms she brushed aside, the slow creep of exhaustion and the moment everything tipped over: three months without sleep, spiralling mental health and feeling like she was disappearing inside her own life. It was a friend who encouraged her to try HRT - which became the shift she didn’t know she needed. Her mood lifted, her clarity returned and she began to feel like herself again.
We explore the importance of hormone testing, the frustration of navigating GPs who may overlook or minimise menopause symptoms and the relief that comes when someone finally listens. Rowena shares how this experience didn’t just change her wellbeing - it changed her direction. It led her to become a menopause coach, using what she learned to support other women through their shifts, offering mind, body and soul guidance rooted in lived experience.
This conversation is a gentle, grounded return - to Rowena’s story, to her voice and to the truth that menopause can be both a crisis and a calling. It’s about what happens when you come back to yourself, and then turn that understanding outward to help other women find their way too.
