In this frank and honest conversation, we chat with Tova Leigh - blogger, comedian and author of F*!ked at 40 - about her journey of living authentically, as she neared the big 4-0. We hear about Tova's trials and tribulations that accompanied her process of shedding, shaping and eventually shining with a more authentic self. This is a brilliant account that will resonate with many women as we hit a major transition that may collide with other shifts. As women we often are almost apologetic about needing to transform or discard previous ways of living that no longer serve us. Others describe it as a midlife crisis. We describe it as midlife clarity. Women are born to change - both physically and emotionally. The more we hear tales about transitions, the more we realise that this is a normal aspect of being a woman, leading a non-linear life.

In our first episode of The Change Makers, we chat to Over The Bloody Moon's Health Coach Advisor, Kate Drummond - founder of The Purposeful Life. Kate shares her personal story of her life's transitions - some unexpected and some she took into her own hands. In her 20's she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue, forcing her to leave a career in banking that resulted in new opportunities in health & wellness. Later in her 30's, she found her strength to say goodbye to a toxic relationship, packing her suitcase and walking out with their 3 month old daughter. Life was going swimmingly some years later when she hit another curveball - perimenopause. She was completely unprepared for this and it took several years before her doctors accepted and treated Kate's low mood as oestrogen depletion. Kate is truly inspiring and shares so many wonderful quotes and lessons learned on how to thrive through change.

We've all learnt a thing or two about ourselves and how we deal with unexpected and prolonged change during the pandemic. Add perimenopause into the mix and no surprise, many of us feel like we are peddling fast to stay afloat. Ahead of The Change Makers launch, we wanted to give you a bonus teaser episode. Meet Dr Lydia Brown, clinical psychologist and expert in pro-ageing and resilience. She is a research fellow at La Trobe University, Healthscope Hospitals & The University of Melbourne and let's not forget her postdoctoral fellowship on positive health from Harvard Medical School. In this episode, Dr Lydia Brown shares 3 psychological power tools (self-compassion, resilience & positive psychology) to help women thrive rather than survive uninvited change - be that perimenopause, the pandemic, professional or personal.
