Just as you begin to reclaim your identity post-motherhood, sneaky symptoms like brain fog, hot flashes, and anxiety start knocking on your door. Is it hormone havoc, burnout, fatigue, or...perimenopause?

Join me for a candid chat with the lovely Emma Thomas, who's on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the messy middle of life for women everywhere. Emma, founder of The Triple Shift and host of the Middling Along podcast, has pivoted in her career to become a menopause educator, helping women regain control and clarity through the middle bit of life. 

Why should you listen to this episode?

Because no one really prepares us for the hormonal rollercoaster that can hit just as we’re trying to get our footing back after having kids. This conversation will help you understand what’s going on in your body, what to look out for, and how to get the support you need. It’s practical, reassuring, and full of the kind of insight that helps you take your power back.

About this week's guest, Emma Thomas: Emma Thomas is the Founder of The Triple Shift and Managing the Menopause. She is also the host of the Middling Along Podcast.    For 30 years Emma worked in academic publishing with many well-known brands with roles spanning business development, strategy, business process optimization, change and transformation, and internal communications. In 2021 she set up her podcast and has now interviewed dozens of midlife wellbeing and menopause experts, inspiring women who have undergone midlife reinventions, and tackled topics relating to multigenerational workforces and ageism in the workplace.  In 2022 she founded Managing the Menopause, which works with companies to help them become menopause-supportive employers, and after training at Henley Business School she set up The Triple Shift, her coaching practice. Holding Up The Sky is her latest venture, with burnout expert Lisa Tyler, helping women navigate their 'midlife collision' without cracking up.    You can find out more about Emma and the brilliant work she does here:
