The Fortyfied Woman Podcast
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
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.
