Rediscovering yourself in perimenopause – Sam’s story

Women of the Well | Holistic Women’s Health and Wellness

In this episode, we’re slowing down and stepping into a different way of looking at perimenopause – not as something to manage or “get through,” but as a chance to reconnect with who you truly are.
Dr Peta Wright and Dr Thea Bowler sit down with co-host Sam Lindsay-German, who’s in the heart of her own perimenopause journey.
Sam shares how, at 50, she’s using this phase to tune into her soul voice, deepen her inner calm, and let go of beliefs that no longer serve her.
This intimate conversation invites you to listen in on Sam’s personal insights and experiences with mindfulness, yoga, and self-reflection – practices that have helped her find peace and purpose during this time of change.
🎧 Listen to discover:
🌿 Sam’s honest take on why perimenopause feels like a spiritual awakening and how she’s choosing to listen to her inner wisdom more deeply.
🌿 Simple practices from the yogic perspective that can help you feel more grounded and in tune with yourself, especially when everything else feels in flux.
🌿 How small daily rituals like yoga, mindfulness, and quiet time have transformed Sam’s outlook, helping her embrace this phase rather than resist it.
🌿 Open reflections on self-acceptance, letting go of the “shoulds,” and approaching midlife with a little more ease and confidence.
Tune in for Sam’s grounded, soul-centered insights and feel inspired to step into this next phase with curiosity and self-compassion.
