After losing her mother, Sophie Malahieude kept going. But she began experiencing shortness of breath and a persistent sense that something was wrong, even when medical checks offered no clear answer. Her experience led her to look more closely at grief and the emotions she hadn’t yet had space to process.
In this episode, Sophie, an emotional balance guide and author of Beyond Emotions, joins me to explore the connection between emotional well-being and physical health. We talk about the many layers of grief, why understanding a feeling doesn’t always help us move through it, and how self-compassion, movement, breathwork, and safe expression can support us through difficult emotions. For women navigating midlife and menopause, it’s a conversation about listening to ourselves with curiosity instead of judgment.
Sophie also shares small ways to begin: belly breathing before bed, a few intentional breaths in the car, or a pause before answering the phone. You don’t have to figure everything out today. You can start by noticing what you feel and giving yourself room to respond.
Listen in, share this episode with a friend who may need it, and tell us in a review: What is your body asking you to pay attention to?
