  #59 “The Invite”: what a movie can teach us about a long marriage

  Aug 16, 202631 minS5

  Olivia Wilde's The Invite plays out over a single evening, in one apartment, between two couples, and it was a sharp portrait of a stale, stagnant marriage. In this episode I look at it through a therapeutic lens: not a film review, but a way into what happens to long-term relationships as we age, and why so many capable, self-aware women end up feeling unseen inside them. I work through three clinically important themes: Evolution and the unspoken contract - why we examine everything at the start of a relationship and then never renegotiate it, and Marion Woodman's idea that we have several marriages within one, each arriving only when we let go of who we needed our partner to be. Desire versus security - Esther Perel's work on why the very safety that stabilises a marriage can flatten desire, and what that means through perimenopause and beyond. Being seen versus performing - how resentment, self-abandonment and old people-pleasing patterns quietly erode intimacy. You can listen whether or not you've seen the film. I close with two questions worth sitting with, and how this connects to the deeper pattern work in the second phase of the HEAL Method .

  #58 Five Things Happy Women Do in Midlife

  Aug 9, 202633 minS5

  Women today have more opportunity than any generation before them, and yet the research on how women actually feel has gone the other way, with a real dip in wellbeing through midlife. In this episode, Alex turns to what she sees firsthand in the women who feel genuinely content despite that, and walks through five practices they share. The foundation everything rests on: a nervous system that can tolerate discomfort without becoming overwhelmed. From there, treating the body as a partner rather than a machine to push through; holding both meaning and purpose, and why they aren't the same thing; making room for enjoyment and joy as real physiological inputs rather than indulgences; and learning to trust intuition once there's enough regulation to hear it. Not about chasing calm or collecting more things to get right, it's about building the capacity to feel your life and stay present to it. This is the work at the centre of the HEAL Method.

  #57 What Oxygen and Red Light Therapy Can Offer the Perimenopausal Body

  Aug 2, 202644 minS5

  In this episode I sit down with Natalie White, founder of Studio2 HBOT, to unpack what hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and red light therapy actually do in the body, and why they matter for women navigating perimenopause. We move past the athlete-recovery framing most people associate with HBOT and into the territory that's relevant for midlife women: chronic inflammation, mitochondrial function, energy production, disrupted sleep, brain fog, and a nervous system that's running hot. Natalie explains how increasing oxygen at a cellular level supports the body's own capacity to heal, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how these therapies work as terrain support rather than a magic fix. We also talk about the piece so many women miss - that the anxiety, exhaustion, and "wound like a cork" tension of perimenopause is an inside job, driven by physiological change rather than personal failure. Natalie shares what she sees clinically, the emerging research on nervous system regulation and vagal tone, and why an hour in the chamber can be both a down regulation tool and a rare, guilt-free act of self-care. Whether you're curious about HBOT, red light, or simply why your body feels different lately, this is a grounded, practical way in.

  #56 How to Create a Healthy Relationship in Midlife - Whether You're Single, Dating, or Married

  Jul 26, 202630 minS5

  Healthy relationships in midlife don't happen by luck - they're created. In this episode, I look at what it actually takes to build one, whether you're single, dating, or married: why your nervous system has been quietly choosing your partners all along, how the roles you learned in childhood became the relational patterns you carry today, and what it means to build the capacity to receive healthy love. I also look at why so many women in midlife begin questioning their relationships and I what I see in my clinical work is, when women regulate their nervous systems, they don't become more tolerant of their relationships - they become more honest about them and what they are wanting.

  #55 The Nervous System of Change: Midlife Transitions with Nikki Heyder

  Jul 19, 202639 minS5

  I am so excited to share this episode with you. Nikki Hayder joins me for this conversation - she's a nutritionist and psychotherapist, and as you probably know I'm a psychotherapist and naturopath, so between the two of us there's this beautiful crossover of clinical and somatic lenses. We bounce off each other with such ease and synergy, and I think you'll feel that energy come through as you listen. In this episode, we dive into the psychology and nervous system dynamics of transition in midlife - from children leaving home to perimenopause and the identity shifts that come with it. We explore why change feels so threatening at a nervous system level, even when it's wanted or expected, and why the brain's need for familiarity means grief and unease can resurface long after we think we've processed them. We also talk about self-trust as the anchor through the "in-between" - that space where the old identity has ended but the new one hasn't yet formed, and why regulation, not certainty, is what allows us to move through that stage without reacting from it.
