   Menopause Parties, Cortisol Cocktails, and Hot Minutes; Reframing Menopause with Jo Fiddy

   In this episode, I talk to Jo Fiddy (https://substack.com/profile/81694689-jo-fiddy), menopause coach and tapping practitioner, about redefining the menopause journey. We explore its impact on women’s lives and the societal narratives surrounding it and the importance of reframing menopause as a positive evolution. Jo shares why menopause isn’t an ending but a rebirth — a rewiring of the brain and body that opens the door to a more authentic, powerful self. Jo Fiddy (MIBBC) is a Menopause Coach and Motivational Speaker blending energy psychology with mind-body tools. As a Rapid Tapping® Pro and EFT Practitioner, she helps women in perimenopause, through her Tapping Reset Community and 121 work, calm their nervous system, release stress, and unlock their potential to thrive in the next chapter. Together, we unpack: * The difference between perimenopause and menopause (and why menopause is actually one day!) * The grief that can come with change — and how to move forward with compassion. * How culture and language have shaped our fear of aging and how to rewrite that story. * The importance of stress management, boundaries, and self-care. * The science behind EFT and Rapid Tapping, and how these tools help women manage anxiety and embrace their evolution.

   The Burnout Rebellion Bitesize: Burnout, Neurodiversity, and the Emotional Weight of Fitting In.

   ✨ Episode Summary In this reflective bite-sized episode of The Burnout Rebellion, host I revisit one of the most powerful and raw conversations from Season One — an intimate discussion with Amanda B. Hinton (https://substack.com/profile/7562263-amanda-b-hinton) on the intersection of burnout, neurodiversity, and identity. As part of this new mini-series exploring the golden moments from past episodes, this clip invites listeners to pause and reflect on the emotional toll of constantly trying to “fit in.” Amanda shares her lived experience of discovering her autism later in life, the exhaustion of masking, and how societal expectations can create a constant undercurrent of burnout. The episode also weaves in reflections on recent psychological research — particularly the 2025 Lakito et al (https://acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jcpp.70003). paper on emotional burden in school as a source of mental health challenges associated with ADHD and autism — connecting academic insight with deeply human experience. I also reflect on how purpose, guilt, and rest intersect with burnout recovery, and how redefining success means learning to honour our humanity, not our productivity. 🧭 Key Takeaways * Burnout isn’t always about overwork — sometimes it’s about doing too little of what makes us feel alive. * Masking and trying to “normalize” oneself can be a powerful but exhausting survival strategy for neurodivergent people. * Societal expectations often push us to disconnect from our true selves, leading to chronic emotional fatigue. * Identity stress can emerge when who we are inside conflicts with what the world expects us to be. * Rest and purpose are equally vital parts of recovery — we need both to feel whole. * The conversation highlights the importance of understanding neurodiversity not just clinically, but compassionately, in education and beyond. * The journey to reclaiming purpose can transform lives. * Taking a break can lead to unexpected opportunities. * Guilt often accompanies the need to pause and reflect. * Education systems need to adapt to diverse needs. * Emotional burdens affect mental health differently across individuals. * Self-acceptance is key to overcoming identity crises. * Creating a supportive environment is essential for growth. 📚 Further Reading & Resources * Lakito et al. (2024). Emotional Burden in School as a Source of Mental Health Problems Associated with ADHD and/or Autism. * Dr. Tony Attwood — Renowned clinical psychologist specializing in autism, especially in women and girls. * Internal Family Systems (IFS) by Richard Schwartz, as discussed by Gabby Bernstein — a therapeutic model for exploring our inner “protector parts.” * Marisa Guthrie offer: https://marisaguthriecoaching.co.uk/apply-now-form (https://marisaguthriecoaching.co.uk/apply-now-form). * Get 30% off Claire Venus’ Substack here (https://sparkleon.substack.com/subscribe?coupon=d3c216c9) * Link to Amanda’s full episode: What is the cost of hiding who we really are?

Menopause Parties, Cortisol Cocktails, and Hot Minutes; Reframing Menopause with Jo Fiddy

Published 19 Oct 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] The life of women is just so busy. It's so busy, there's no off switch. But what happens is when the cortisol keeps coming up, it has a detrimental impact on our health. I talk about it as the cortisol cocktail that we're drinking. And when we come into perimenopause, if you imagine perimenopause is like your friend, it's like, we're not doing it. You have to slow down. No, you don't want to. But I am going to make you slow down whether you like it or not because also what I found, this blew my mind, is that when elevated cortisol goes up, not to mention it impacts your creativity, it can actually shrink your memory by the time you hit 50 based on this.
