You're Not Broken — You're Becoming
Manage episode 498081488 series 3681267
Welcome to the very first episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self! I'm Soraya — clinical hypnotherapist, RTT therapist mum of five, and a woman deep in the beautiful, messy journey of midlife transformation.
In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind this podcast and how my own experience with perimenopause cracked something open in me. From the moment I started waking up drenched in night sweats to the casual suggestion from my GP to "just start HRT," I knew something deeper was unfolding — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I also talk about:
- Losing my identity after having children
- Rediscovering my love for psychology and self-development
- Returning to study and becoming a therapist
- What aging really means (and spoiler: it's not the end)
- A 72-year-old woman I saw this morning who is living proof that it's never too late to thrive
This episode is your invitation to see menopause not as a decline, but as a powerful awakening. You're not crazy. You're not broken. You're becoming.
