Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide and mental health. If needed, please listen with care.
What if the brain fog, the overwhelm, and the emotional flatness aren’t burnout… but grief? In this heartfelt episode, Pip explores the invisible griefs so many carry through midlife such as lost futures, shifting identities, unspoken loneliness — and how these quiet heartbreaks can surface during menopause and beyond.
You’ll hear how unacknowledged grief can impact the brain and body, why so many midlife men are silently struggling, and how science-backed self-compassion can gently begin to heal what’s been buried.
This is an episode for anyone who’s ever thought,“I should be fine… but I’m not always”
Includes:– What ambiguous grief looks like in real life– How menopause and midlife amplify hidden emotions– The alarming statistics around men’s mental health– A simple nervous-system-calming practice you can try right now
