You’re Not Crazy, You’re Changing - A Relationship Talk for Menopausal Women
This is the episode every woman navigating the change needs to hear.
Lucy is joined by therapist Tracy Proud from Nest Counselling for a raw, compassionate conversation about what really happens inside our relationships during perimenopause and menopause.
Together, they unpack:
Why this phase of life brings such intensity to our intimate relationships
How childhood wounds resurface — not to sabotage us, but to be seen and healed
The rising divorce rates in midlife, and the staggering number of women who later regret those decisions
How to stop projecting onto your partner and start getting honest about what you’re experiencing
Why open-hearted communication (even when it’s messy) matters more than ever
The added complexity when neurodivergence is present in the household How to hold space for yourself and your relationship — without losing who you are
This isn’t about blaming hormones or partners — it’s about reclaiming this time as a portal for deeper connection, healing, and truth.
If you’re in the thick of it or love someone who is, this one’s for you.
A conversation to remind you: you’re not broken, you’re becoming.
