šļøEpisode 136 of the Far 2 Fabulous Podcast is now live šļø
What if some of the things we put down to ājust perimenopauseā are also being amplified by a nervous system that never really switches off?
This was such an interesting part of our conversation with reflexologist Georgina Strickland from Lifespan Reflexology on this weekās Far 2 Fabulous Podcast.
We got talking about why so many women arrive in midlife already carrying a huge stress load ā work, family, ageing parents, teenagers, endless responsibilities ā and then our hormones start changing on top of it all.
Hot flushes. Poor sleep. Anxiety. Brain fog. Feeling overwhelmed. That general feeling of just not being quite yourself.
And sometimes we become so focused on 'fixing the symptom' that we forget about something much more fundamental - When does your body actually get the opportunity to switch off?
Georgina talks about how she uses reflexology to encourage that shift towards ārest and digestā ā and why something as simple as having time where you genuinely stop can be so powerful.
We also get into facial reflexology (which I LOVE ā¤ļø), and Georgina gives us a couple of really simple points we can use ourselves ā including one Catherine was particularly interested in for hot flushes and brain fog!
Itās a fascinating conversation about hormones, stress, self-care and giving the body a little bit of help to find its balance again.
