| It's Never Too Late to Reinvent Yourself | Wellness, Journaling & Midlife Transformation with Lu | Hot Flushes & Higher Self | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:39:45 | |
Can you completely reinvent your life after 60? In this inspiring episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, I sit down with Lu (Lucia) Law, former secondary school teacher and author of Wellness With Wisdom, to explore how a health crisis in her 40s became the catalyst for an extraordinary personal transformation. After spending 25 years in education living in constant stress and survival mode, Lu discovered the power of nutrition, nervous system regulation, journaling, spirituality and conscious living. What began as a search for answers during perimenopause eventually led her to retire from teaching, publish her first book at 63, and dedicate her life to helping others create healthier, happier lives. In this conversation we explore: ✨ Why it's never too late to start again If you've ever wondered whether you've left it too late to change your life, this episode will remind you that your next chapter could become your best one.

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, "How did I get here?" Many women reach midlife feeling exhausted, disconnected and no longer sure who they really are.

| Your Body Always Knows: Repressed Emotions, HRT & Healing with Jacky Parker | Hot Flushes & Higher Self | 13 Nov 2025 | 01:01:08 | |
In this heartfelt and enlightening episode, Soraya is joined by Jacky Parker, founder of Body Wisdom Kinesiology, to explore how the body stores emotional memory and how unprocessed feelings can impact our physical and mental health. Together they dive into the connection between repressed emotions, hormonal balance, and midlife transitions, and discuss how modalities like kinesiology can help women understand what their bodies are really trying to communicate. Jacky shares her wisdom on working with the body’s innate intelligence, the emotional impact of HRT, and the power of releasing what’s been held inside — creating space for healing, clarity, and reconnection. The books that Jacky and I discussed in this episode can be found below. Very powerful reads as they show how much repressed emotions can manifest in physical dis-ease: The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel Van Der KolkAlso- the guest on the Diary of the CEO with Steven Bartlett, that I couldn't quite remember (thank you brain fog!) is eminent Psychologist and Scientist Donald Hoffman. It's a fascinating interview whetre he reveals the mathematical proof we’re living in a virtual illusion, how space-time is just a headset, and why consciousness is the real code.
