Psychotherapist and Yoga Master, Cheryl Kennedy MacDonald offers evidence-based therapy for women experiencing life transitions, relationship challenges, or emotional distress and adult ADHD

25/09/2025

This topic is relevant to a pleasantly, surprising number of my female clients in midlife. Often they are curious or worried that they’re being judged, but for the most part, they’re experiencing the most satisfying relationships of their lives.

Here’s why this can work so well if you’re a woman in midlife.

By this point you usually know your body, your boundaries and what you actually want from intimacy. You’ve stopped performing and started asking for what feels good. Younger partners are often more open to communication and happier to explore without ego. When you take away the pressure to prove anything, there’s less performance and more presence. That’s where we find strong partnerships and satisfying s*x lives.

It’s about choosing happiness on your own terms. Men having been dating and marrying women half their age for centuries and now we are starting to see women do the same.

Will it suit everyone? No. It only works when there’s mutual respect, emotional maturity and aligned expectations. You are not there to parent or teach your partner and he’s not there to validate you. If it’s playful, honest and good for both of you, that’s the goal. If you feel yourself shrinking, second-guessing, or carrying the emotional load, that’s a sign to step back.

Check in with yourself:
– Do our values and intentions match, or is one of us hoping the other one will change?
– Do I feel seen and genuinely desired, not just flattered?
– Am I saying yes because it expands my life, not because I’m seeking external validation?

You’re allowed to be curious. You’re allowed to enjoy your body. You’re allowed to redefine what love and s*x look like.

I’ve been in Asia over a decade but Glasgow is where I grew up. Glasgow doesn’t care who you are. It doesn’t care what you’ve done, or what car you drive – but it will take the p**s out of you if you start taking yourself too seriously or get too big for your boots. Humour is the anecdote for pain and honesty is non-negotiable, and the people are a lot tougher than they look.I take this into my therapy room. I’m warm, empathetic and deeply invested in your growth, but I’m also not here to sugar-coat it for you. I believe real change happens when you stop pretending. If you can meet yourself where you are, you’ll find the strength to be unapologetically human.I use integrative approaches that cut through noise including somatic practices and person-centred therapy. I want you to bring the whole person into the therapy room, body and soul. I love using practical CBT exercises, psychodynamic theory to help you see recurring patterns more clearly, and mindfulness for when you need to slow TF down.Glasgow taught me to be resilient and to find humour in the darkest moments. I don’t think that I’m better than you because I’m the one in the therapists chair. A safe space, yes… but also one where you’re gently challenged. I’ll see you in all of your complexity and encourage you to claim your life without apologising.Ps. The video is on me on a flying fox in Gartcosh. Say less.

I thought it might be time to reintroduce myself..

I’m Cheryl Kennedy Macdonald, a psychotherapist specialising in women’s trauma, relationship and divorce recovery, and healing after narcissistic abuse. As an adult woman with ADHD, I’m also passionate about helping other women recognise and manage their symptoms and use their ADHD super powers to thrive.

I’m originally from Glasgow, but for the past 11 years Singapore has been my home and I currently spend my time between here and Bali. I’m mum to one big, brilliant teen boy and my gorgeous fur baby, Cosmo. I love sunshine, Techno and enjoying mini adventures.

You may know me as the founder of YogaBellies, YogaPause (yoga for ladies 40+), and Birth ROCKS. I’ve spent over 16 years training yoga teachers worldwide and guiding women through every stage of life with movement, mindfulness and connection. I’ve written 14 books, created products, yoga clothing, skin care and even a really nice range of teas 😂 - just for women.

I’m also an integrative s*x and relationship therapist and ta***ic priestess. I believe that intimacy, pleasure, and embodiment are just as important for healing as talk therapy and something that we too often ignore.

My work focuses on helping women live their best lives after heartbreak, burnout or big life changes. I believe in fresh starts and second chances and that you can rebuild your self-worth, your relationships, and your happiness at any time in your life.

If you’re ready to work on old wounds, build your confidence, and step into the life you’ve always wanted… I’d love to walk that journey with you.

Signing off for the weekend 👌💖

You’re exhausted…
But the minute your head hits the pillow, your mind starts going nuts.
You finally doze off — and then boom, you’re wide awake at 2:37am for absolutely no reason.
By morning? You feel hungover without the fun.

This isn’t just annoying — because sleep isn’t a luxury.
It’s the foundation of your mental health, emotional balance, and hormone regulation.

In perimenopause, sleep is one of the first things to go.
Thanks to the chaos of dropping progesterone, fluctuating oestrogen, cortisol spikes and blood sugar dips — your brain literally can’t rest the way it used to.

One of the first things I work on with my clients is to make sure that their sleeping patterns are healthy and to help them start sleeping again This posts looks at some of the basics:
• The real hormonal reasons you’re waking up
• How magnesium and red light therapy calm your system
• Why blue light is your bedtime enemy
• The difference bioidentical progesterone cream can make
• And how to wind down in a way that tells your body: you’re safe now, we can rest.

When you’re not sleeping, you can’t think clearly.
You snap more. You spiral faster. You stop feeling like yourself.

If sleep has become your biggest battle, you are not alone.
Let me know what’s been helping — or not helping — in the comments.
Tag a woman who needs to know it’s not “just stress.” It’s her hormones.

Society acts like being single and childless after 40 is a personal failure.

As if your worth disappears if you’re not someone’s partner or mum.

The thing is, Life can be really freaking good on this side of 40 — especially when you’re living it just for you.

You get to:
• Wake up to silence, peace, and an undisturbed yoga practice.
• Build a life that fits your needs, not a checklist of what everyone else wants first.
• Travel, rest, create, and flirt without explaining yourself.
• Build deep friendships, inner security, and unlimited freedom.

And if grief or doubt still lingers — that’s okay too.

You’re allowed to love your life and still mourn the story you thought you were going to live. You can honour both.

This is your reminder that you are not behind, broken, or lacking. Having kids and being a wife is wonderful but so is being your own person without limits. You’re free — and that’s powerful.

I want to preface this post by saying that I am no fan or advocate for divorce. Having done it myself - and if Carlsberg made divorces, it would be our divorce - I know that it’s not fun for anyone innvolved. Nobody plans to get divorced.

However.

It’s not all bad. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Even if you had a great marriage for 10 or 20 years, there’s a huge chance that by midlife, you and your partner are completely different people than you were when you got married. And that’s okay!

There is still a great path forward - for both of you. As part of my divorce recovery and planning sessions, we’ll explore the good, the bad and the ugly and how to maintain a good relationship with your ex. Get in touch if I an help.
