  215 Why We Resist The Inner Work And How To Make It Feel Less Overwhelming

  Mar 21, 202631 minS215

  <p>Often times, clients will see me for an assessment, they'll read their treatment plan and then quietly disappear.  It's like their mind convinces them that this is going to open up a whole world of trouble. Of course your mind does that!  It's standard.  It's doing exactly what it’s designed to do.  Protect you.  It wants to keep things predictable and contained.  So when the invitation to go deeper starts to become a possibility, it makes sense that your mind wants to pull you back.  It believes "this inner work malarky might be too much"  And yet, there’s another pa...

  214 Beyond Hormonal Determinism: Hormones Influence the System, They Don't Build It

  Mar 13, 202629 minS1

  <p>Most menopause conversations focus almost entirely on hormones. But what if that’s only part of the story? In this episode, Sally Garozzo explores emerging neuroscience on <b>estradiol, fear circuitry, and trauma exposure</b>, including a 2025 study suggesting that estrogen interacts differently with the brain’s threat regulation system depending on prior stress and trauma history. We unpack why <b>HRT helps many women but isn’t always the whole answer</b>, how the nervous system shapes our menopausal experience, and why understanding the intersection of <b>menopause, trauma, and nervous system regulation</b> can offer a more comple...

  213 The Trauma of Emotional Invalidation

  Mar 6, 202635 minS1

  <p>In this episode we explore what it's like when your 'felt sense' isn't believed especially in childhood and how this impacts our health and our menopause.  We look at how subtle, repeated invalidation shapes the quality of our attachments, why women often become the emotional regulators of their families, how functional freeze develops, and why menopause can feel like all of this unravels at once.  We also examine the difference between attunement and optimisation — and why healing begins with being met, not fixed.</p><p>It's a good one for anyone who feels there's more to menopause than 'just' horm...

  212 Menopause as Art: Trusting The Design

  Feb 27, 202624 minS1

  <p>I currently have six paint samples on my living room wall.  They are all technically blue. None of them are the same.  Which feels… symbolic.  In this episode, I’m thinking about menopause not as art and refinement. As the shift from fluorescent to tonal. From performance to composition.  There’s a turtle.  There’s London. There’s a river that looks like it’s meandering but absolutely knows where it’s going. And somewhere in the middle of all that: the quiet realisation that midlife might not be demolition, it might be editing.</p><p>If you’ve ever stood in front o...

  211 The Dutch Test vs The Medical Model: Why They Disagree

  Feb 20, 202630 minS1

  <p>The DUTCH test has become one of the most talked-about hormone assessments in the menopause space. Some women describe it as illuminating and empowering. Some medical professionals describe it as unnecessary, over-interpreted, or a waste of money.</p><p>So why the disagreement?</p><p>In this episode, I step back from the noise and explore what’s actually being argued. What assumptions sit underneath functional hormone testing? What assumptions sit underneath conventional medicine? And why does this debate feel so emotionally charged?</p><p>Rather than taking sides, we look at the psychological and structural differences between these tw...
