Ali Daddo and Mary Doube are on a mission to support women worldwide in feeling less alone and more empowered on their peri+menopausal journeys with their Aviiana platform. It’s crazy to think that we weren’t talking about this phase that 100% of women go through who live long enough, just a handful of years ago - in today’s show when I mention I did a show on Perimenopause with Dr Carrie Jones a few years ago, Mary said “Wow how groundbreaking” - there was nothing 6 years ago online. I did that show because people in our community had begun to ask and talk about it. The topic has become a mainstay since then. Thank GOSH. GenX decided: Nope: Women will not suffer silently right when they need more support and more answers than ever.

Capacity, mood, tolerance, ability… they can feel like they disappear overnight. Everything can feel like it hurts, bones can break, shoulders can freeze, ears can itch, your mouth can burn or taste metallic, periods can become heavier, lighter, disappear, come back, weight can p-ile on, depression can set in, anxiety can feel unbearable… and? Some women can breeze through seeming not to experience much.

This show, is 3 women chatting very honestly about our experiences, sharing insights, and what’s helping us through it. I hope for the mid-lifers and beyond in our community, it will provide a good “oh thank gosh it’s not just me” as well as a good giggle at some of the shares.

We also hope it provides a little kindling for you to decide that this could be an epic new chapter - minus the toxic positivity if you’re in the thick of it.

This show, I share tips and ideas to make the month ahead feel less intense and we wrap up the calendar year.

Often late November/early December have two energies battling it out in our brains:

1. It’s the end of the year - I have so much I still want to/have to/must DO - gah… Go Go Go.
2. I just want to slow down a lie on a beach, in a field or under a blanket and CHILL

So this week, I talk

Money Saving, Time Saving, Meaning-making and Joy bringing strategies for a happier end of year.

Being real about what you can and want to do is the first step and from there: We design with intention from feasts, to gifts, to donations, to family and festivities.

I hope you find it useful and would love you to also share your tips and ideas on socials + YouTube if you have great ideas.

Low Tox Love,

Alexx

“What would it look like for you to be fully recovered” asks Dr Robert Bray of his patients. Powerful question. How would it look for you?

A trigger warning if you are sensitive to trauma, violence or suicide topics. Hugs to you and it might not be for you (although for the same reasons, it might very well be for you).

This show explores Thought Field Therapy a form of ‘energy psychology’, something that Robert added to his tool kit since learning the Therapy from its creator, psychologist Dr Roger Callaghan, in 1996. Robert found that the therapy, a form of specialised “tapping” and muscle testing in combination with counselling and psychotherapy, added what was often missing for the people he saw stuck in loops with their physical or mental health.

It’s a fascinating show where we cover how it can help first responders, military people in active service or retired, victims of abuse and people with chronic illnesses.

If you join us on YouTube (yes, finally the show is on there now too!) you will see me try the therapy for myself with Robert taking me through a mini-session - your ever willing guinea pig ;-)

If you’re in a negative mental or physical health loop, join me for this one. Very interesting and hopefully to someone out there, very helpful!
