"After cuddle party training, I had a clean ‘no’ in my back pocket."
Hello, my loves. In this episode, I sit down with Tamara the Brave — bodyworker, mentor, and one of the most grounded women I’ve met. She speaks from the earth up. And this conversation is exactly that: rooted and real.
Tamara shares what menopause has been teaching her. We talk about radical self-responsibility, the cost of self-abandonment, and how most of us weren’t taught to rest — we were taught to burn out.
We also get stuck into:
- My unhinged moment with a parking officer
- The wisdom of cuddle parties
- The stuff women in their 20s, 30s and 40s need know about menopause
- Leaving the corporate world with a fried nervous system
- The danger of chasing peak experiences
- Getting honest about the difference between rest and collapse
This episode might not give you the answers — but it’ll inspire you to stop outsourcing them. It'll remind you to slow down, give you a good idea of what to start taking care of now while you're full of oestrogen, and offer one woman’s account of finding sovereignty.
