  • Summary

  • MIDLIFE can be a depressing, dark, lonely, season for a lot of people. Women in their 40's experience this natural transitional period differently .By age 38, i was woefully unprepared for low mood, irritability, depression, and feeling of being stuck in a whole and being angry for no reason, low self esteem and so much more. The Fortified Woman Podcast aims at inspiring, empowering women in their 40s to rise, shine, thrive and turn what can be a midlife crisis to Midlife rises. We will discuss topics ranging from perimenopause, menopause and their effects on our mind, body and emotions, ways to cope and enjoy this blossoming season in our lives . I know what it’s like to survive rather than to LIVE life daily. The wonderful thing about life is how much we can actually control when we alter our mindset and decide it’s time to LIVE and THRIVE rather than survive. I have proven to myself, my family and friends, that a happy Midlife is attainable, that there’s far more to life than simply surviving day to day. Join me and let’s rediscover our superpower and start LIVING and THRIVING in this season of our lives!

  • Episode 21: From drinking to cope with childhood trauma and menopause depression to becoming the best version of herself at 53.
    May 15 2022

    On this episode, my guest Gail Winstanley shares her story of dependence on alcohol to cope with a traumatic childhood sexual assault and the depressing menopausal symptoms. It took her a shift in her mindset and self talk therapy to overcome and conquer drinking and menopausal depression.  Her own experience has inspired her to coach other midlife women to not endure this season in their lives but work on developing themselves to become the best version of themselves.

  • EP 20.My Menopower story: From Hysterectomy to Menopause at 36 with Olawunmi Osode
    Apr 3 2022

    In this inspirational episode, my guest Olawunmi Osode shares her journey to menopause at 36 years old. Suffering from a medical condition (very heavy bleeding) for which doctors wrongly advised hysterectomy (uterus and ovaries removal) as solution, unknowingly, she ended up  in early menopause land.
    She was so unwell and very aware of the drastic change that came after the procedure  that in her bid to regain her health, she sought for medical help in London and after several medical tests was confirmed at severe menopause stage and put on HRT (hormonal replacement therapy) to alleviate her very challenging symptoms(depression, weight gain, irritability, confusion, low mood, isolation, lack of interest to name a few).
    Her journey to healing and feeling good again inspired her to create an instagram page (Menojournal) to raise awareness and empower other sisters with the knowledge so they do not go through the horrible experience like her.
    Be sure to get a copy of my e-book : Transform your menopause to MENOPOWER. This is your guide to learning about menopause, its symptoms and solutions and the need for each woman experiencing menopause to take ownership and create  a personalised solid intentional action plan  to feel Fabulous again and ENJOY her midlife season.
