For so long, menopause has been framed as something negative…
something to push through or just survive.

But what if it doesn’t have to be that way?

In this episode we share a different way of looking at menopause—one that feels a little more empowering, and a lot more supportive.

In this episode of Hot Flush Happy Hour, Kat and Tori are joined by their lovely friend Lou Rubie, a trauma-aware counsellor and somatic practitioner . Together they explore a whole-person approach to menopause—and why learning to work with your body can change everything.
Lou shares her own experience navigating menopause after a hysterectomy, including the shock of being diagnosed with osteoporosis despite living a really healthy, active lifestyle. It’s such a powerful reminder that there’s a lot going on during this phase that we don’t always see.
We get into how menopause is about so much more than just hormones, how it can affect your nervous system in ways you might not expect, and why so many women end up feeling like they’re not quite themselves.
This conversation is really an invitation to slow down, tune in, and start listening to your body in a different way.
Because maybe it’s not about pushing through…
Maybe it’s about learning to work with your body instead.
So grab your favourite beverage and join us for an informative, feel-good chat—full of laughs and the beautiful warmth of the lovely Lou.

Our friend Tracey shared a poem about menopause when she was a guest on our podcast Hot Flush Happy Hour. The message was channelled from her spriitual team.
"So thank you for saying that I wrote it, but I didn't. It was a channeled message from spirit and it's definitely for all of us. So this is what came through.

Menopause isn't a punishment. It's a portal. It's a transition.
Your soul signed up for long before your body caught up.
It's your spirit saying, let's shed the stories you've outgrown.
You're not losing yourself. You're becoming more you.
More honest, more intuitive, more aligned.
This is spiritual recalibration, a clearing, a remembering.
You are not too emotional. You are not too much. You are not failing.
You are evolving into the woman you were always meant to be"

In this episode of Hot Flush Happy Hour, we kick things off with a real-life catch-up — the wins, the wobbles, the health updates, the busy seasons, and the “why is my body doing this now?” moments — before diving into a topic that hits differently in midlife: boundaries.

We’re talking about why your tolerance suddenly goes missing, why your energy feels more precious than ever, and why the old people-pleasing settings just aren’t working anymore. Funny that. 😉

Kat and Tori unpack the difference between time boundaries and energy boundaries, how hormonal and identity shifts play a role, and why that little flash of irritation might actually be your inner wisdom tapping you on the shoulder (not you becoming a grumpy human).

We also chat about guilt — yes, that sneaky little tag-along — and why feeling guilty when you start protecting your peace doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong… it usually means you’re doing something new.

Expect practical tips, honest stories, a few laughs, and some simple reflection prompts to help you spot where your energy is leaking and how to start plugging the holes — gently, not dramatically.

Less burnout, more boundaries, better happy hour energy. 🍸🔥
