Hormones, Confidence and Menopause: Her Evolution with Sarah Jordan
Episode Overview
- Women’s hormonal issues such as heavy periods, extreme pain and mood swings should not be dismissed as “normal”; specialist assessment is vital.
- Perimenopause can start far earlier than many expect, and symptoms go far beyond hot flushes, with over 48 recognised signs.
- Workplace cultures often misunderstand menopause, leading capable women to leave their roles; education for both HR and men is needed.
- Gut health and balanced nutrition, alongside hydration, movement and strength training, play a key role in long-term wellbeing and bone health.
- Building community events and access to trusted experts helps women feel less invisible and more confident at every life stage.
“If they feel there is something wrong with them, with relation to anything in life, with pains, with periods, that isn’t normal. We’ve been told it’s normal. It is not normal… Do not suffer.”
Curious about how others manage hormones, confidence and health all at once? This chat between Feng Shui consultant and Chinese astrologer Janine Lowe and guest Sarah Jordan puts women’s hormonal health centre stage, with plenty of humour and honesty along the way. Sarah, co-founder of Her Evolution Collective, talks about how her friend and business partner Mandy’s brutal menopause symptoms and toxic work environment sparked their mission to support women from adolescence through to post-menopause.
You’ll hear how Mandy’s zero oestrogen levels, workplace stress and lack of understanding pushed her to create a space where women don’t feel dismissed or “crazy” for what their bodies are doing. Sarah shares her own story of endometriosis, perimenopause starting in her late 30s, misdiagnosed “cystitis” that turned out to be vaginal atrophy, and the struggle to access hormone treatment while living in the Middle East.
She and Janine swap experiences of hysterectomy, early menopause and ex-partners who simply didn’t get it, shining a light on just how isolating these issues can be. The conversation widens out into gut health, strength training, bone density, and why water and home-cooked food still matter more than any quick fix. Sarah describes Her Evolution’s first event in Horsham, bringing together menopause specialists, gut health experts, yoga teachers and colour analysts to boost women’s confidence from the inside out.
One of the strongest threads is Sarah’s insistence that pain, extreme mood swings and heavy periods shouldn’t just be written off as “normal”. Her message is clear: ask questions, seek proper assessment and don’t settle for being fobbed off. If your hormones have ever left you wondering “Is it just me?”, this conversation might be the reassuring nudge you need to keep asking for answers and support.
