Episode 156 - Future Proofing and reclaiming your health with Nadia Rihani
I’m so excited to introduce you to Nadia Rihani. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Nadia since we were both 19 years old back at University. Nadia, like I, has journeyed through many iterations of self, soul-service, career. Now, as a passionate supporter and advocate for Women navigating Perimenopause (just as I am), I’m thrilled to have her on the Woman Awake podcast. Together we dive into this topic that is so very important - shedding light on the journey that is inevitable and yet does not need to be painful or challenging.
As Nadia says “ navigating your 40s is a powerful opportunity for transformation, yet many women feel held back by hormonal changes and societal expectations of perimenopause. It’s crucial to cut through the noise of "should’s" and "can’ts", understanding that embracing change is the real key to unlocking vibrant energy and feeling your best. Empowerment comes from recognising that you don’t need to be victimised by the shifts your body is going through; instead, you can redefine this time as one of growth and renewal. Living well in your 40s and beyond is about sustaining joy, fun, and energy through a balanced lifestyle. This isn’t a time for sacrifice but for embracing a long-term path that’s enjoyable and fulfilling.
Nadia’s approach is about simplifying health strategies to make them achievable and integrating activities that bring happiness into daily life.
