About this Episode

In this deeply insightful and empowering episode of The Matrix Green Pill Podcast, host Hilmarie Hutchison sits down with Sara Beattie to explore the often-overlooked topic of menopause—and how Sara is helping women navigate it with compassion, creativity, and clarity.

Sara shares her journey from international teaching to becoming a menopause coach, including the personal challenges that led her to pursue groundbreaking research on the emotional impact of menopause. From the lack of education and cultural taboos to the rise of misleading wellness products, Sara discusses the gaps that exist—and the creative, community-based solutions she’s offering through her coaching and projects like The Age of Renewal.

She explains how her work helps women reframe menopause not as an “age of despair” but as a time for reflection, rediscovery, and personal growth. Through group work, self-compassion exercises, and even expressive art and poetry, Sara creates safe, non-judgmental spaces where women can share their experiences and find new purpose.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about midlife transitions, emotional wellness, or supporting women during this powerful life phase. Sara’s honest reflections and practical advice offer a refreshing, hopeful perspective that will resonate with women and allies alike.

Quotes

2:35 - I've had the benefit of seeing and learning from a lot of different people and a lot of different cultures, and that everybody comes with a slightly different perspective on how to make somewhere feel home, particularly if it's not where you were born and raised, and how you look after yourself, and also how you look after each other in a society where you may not have access to family in the same way.

3:55 - This really empowers people to just work through something that they're a little bit stuck on, help them get unstuck.

9:26 - You're never too old to learn anything.

12:16 - Whatever's come up for you this week and the power of a group of wise women in a room cannot be underestimated the value of being heard and seen.

14:25 - It's important that there are spaces and places and people that women can talk to, and you're so right about the not knowing who to listen to.

15:32 - Women just need a bit of clarity, and I think you can support that and suggest that women just tune into themselves a little bit and maybe keep track of what's going on and what is usual or normal for them.

18:22 - Some women are quite happy to sit down and really talk about it, and some women really struggle.

18:58 - Don't get told about any of the other things. But yes, the education piece is so important.

19:34 - I believe very strongly that when we are able to think creatively not artistically, but creatively we can bypass the need for language and think about things in a different way.
