Wild Flow with Charlotte Pointeaux – Details, episodes & analysis

What if midlife isn’t a breakdown… but a turning point?

I'm joined by nutritionist and women’s health coach Annie Gaudreault to explore the deeper reality of midlife - beyond symptoms, into identity, truth, and transformation.

Together, we unpack why so many women feel like they no longer recognise themselves, how the body begins to speak more clearly during this phase, and why this season can be an opportunity to release people-pleasing, reconnect with your values, and step into a more aligned way of living.

This is a conversation about listening, not fixing - and meeting midlife as an invitation into clarity, self-trust, and renewal. In this episode, we explore:

• Why midlife often brings a loss of identity — and what it’s really revealing
• The shift from people-pleasing to clear boundaries and self-trust
• How to relate to your body as a messenger, not a problem
• Simple practices like journaling and movement to access clarity
• Why this phase of life can be a powerful “upgrade,” not a decline.

What if Autumn Equinox is not just a seasonal shift, but a real threshold into descent? In this episode of Wild Flow, Charlotte explores the Southern Hemisphere Autumn Equinox (21st March) as the turning point into the dark half of the year, and why so many women feel that call in the body and psyche before they can fully name it.

This is a conversation about descent, shadow, discernment, and the importance of having a map. Charlotte speaks to the sacred space-holders, coaches, healers, priestesses and facilitators who are often holding so much for others, yet may be tempted to override their own inner turning.

She weaves together cyclical wisdom, the seasonal threshold of autumn, the myth of Inanna, the exiled feminine, leadership, collective fear, and the basic skills that help us stay close to what is true when the ground begins to shift.

In this episode, Charlotte explores:

• Why autumn equinox marks a real threshold into the dark half of the year
• How women often sense a descent before they understand its terrain
• Why autumn can bring grief, resistance, tenderness, truth, and deeper listening
• How this shows up for sacred space-holders and women in leadership
• The difference between getting lost in descent and having a map to walk it consciously
• Inanna’s descent as a sacred mythic framework for stripping back to essence
• How collective fear can distort discernment, and why presence matters now
• The importance of self-care, community care, witnessing, and coming back to centre
• Why women who know how to descend consciously become steadier - and more potent leaders and space-holders.

This episode is a reminder that descent is not punishment. It is a return. To truth, to alignment, to your centre. And when we know how to walk it, the dark becomes a place of truth - not something to fear.

Charlotte also shares that she will be opening the Inanna journey in the second half of April - an online experience held through the Southern Hemisphere autumn and winter months for women ready to meet descent as initiation.

Perimenopause is more than just a physical transition—it’s an initiation into deeper wisdom, self-trust, and empowerment. Yet, in a world that keeps us in constant doing mode, many women navigate this shift feeling disconnected from their bodies, overwhelmed, and unsupported.

In this episode, I sit down with Sinead Quinn, Certified Breathwork and Soulflow Embodiment Facilitator, to explore how nervous system regulation, breathwork, and community can transform your perimenopause journey into an experience of power and presence.

Together, we discuss:
✨ How perimenopause is a rite of passage—not something to fear but to embrace
✨ The impact of stress and fight-or-flight mode on hormonal balance and well-being
✨ Why nervous system regulation is essential for thriving through perimenopause
✨ The power of breathwork and embodiment practices in supporting hormonal shifts
✨ The importance of sisterhood and community in navigating this transition

Join Us at the Fearless Retreat
Sinead and I are co-hosting Perimenopause Power: Fearless—a one-day retreat in the Southern Highlands on March 8, 2025. Whether you’re deep in the throes of perimenopause or just beginning to sense its approach, this gathering will equip you with knowledge, tools, and community support to navigate this transition with intention and grace.

Listen in and walk away with:
🌿 A new perspective on perimenopause as an opportunity for empowerment
🌿 Simple, effective breathwork techniques to support your hormones and nervous system
🌿 A deeper understanding of why connection and sisterhood are vital during this transition

In this episode I sat down for a delicious conversation with my friend Clare Foale, a writer, an artist, a teacher, a space holder, a tapping practitioner, a questioner and an ocean-lover. She is also a First Moon Circle Facilitator, and creator of her brand new oracle cards SPACIOUS which we explore together today.

Clare and I spoke about:

• What cycle awareness means to both of us,
• How we can use incredibly simple reflective questions to support us through the more challenging as well as expansive moments of our menstrual cycles, and daily life as women, mothers, space holders,
• Why Clare does not like the term self-care and her own personal practice that she finds infinitely more nourishing instead,
• She looks back at the last decade of her life from turning 30 to turning 40, and shares the love notes of wisdom she shares with her younger self, 
• And she offers us a card reading from her new card deck Spacious to hold space for ourselves through the four phases of our next menstrual cycle. 

About Clare

When I turned 30, I was a new Mum struggling with PND which didn't yet have a name. I was a Personal Assistant on maternity leave. I was finding life overwhelming and was grappling with some big questions like, "who am I?" and "what do I like?" which I couldn't find words for. My work now - whether holding space 1:1 for people, holding Circles, teaching tapping (EFT) - keeps coming back to the question "who am I?" and leaning in and listening to the answers and exploring what is present in curious conversation.

If you've ever heard someone say that they're currently in their Inner Winter, you may have wondered what on Earth this means... 

But when you remember that you ARE nature, not separate from it, you can see the natural world reflected within you - in your menstrual cycle. 

Your menstrual cycle gives you your own inner birth/death/rebirth cycle right inside you every month. When you figure this out, you can spot deeper patterns explaining why you love / struggle with different parts of your cycle. 

In this episode I explain:

• What the Inner Seasons of the Menstrual Cycle are, 
• How your body feels like you're moving through 4 seasons in 4 weeks, and what this might mean for you.
• And I share how the female archetypes and seasons show up within my cycle too.  

If you love it, I'd be so thrilled if you'd leave a review and share this with someone who you think would love it. 

Thank you!

*Unfortunately, there's some occasional, slight background noise on this one, because I live in a small country village in rural Australia. If you're up for some fun, let's have a game of Country Bingo: spot the chickens fighting next door, the cockatoos roosting in the huge gum tree, and the chainsaws coming out at just the right moment.... Oh well what are you gonna do - I prefer to embrace the imperfections, rather than not record this at all. So here goes. I hope you get so much out of this.

We have been taught over generations to distrust our bodies, to look to medical experts for the answers and it has resulted in us living in fear and distrust of our own bodies - the wild, unpredictable, emotional homes of ours that we are led to believe can let us down. As a result, most of us have lost complete touch with our bodies and the understanding of how our cycles work. 

In this episode, I explain:

• What cycle charting is and what the benefits are of this powerful practice whatever your menstrual cycle is like (regular, irregular, and also if you don't currently have a cycle).
• The pros and cons of charting with pen and paper VS apps
• How cycle charting empowers you to take control and understand your menstrual health
• How to turn cycle charting into an embodied spiritual practice through daily ritual
• Why and how to encourage your daughter to cycle chart too, and how to share it with your family. 

If you love this episode, I'd be so thrilled if you'd leave a review and share this with someone you think would love to listen - thank you!

Happy charting!⁠

So how exactly do I help women as a Menstrual and Moon Cycle Coach? What are some first steps can you take to live more in alignment with your cyclic nature, to call in greater abundance, support and wellbeing? How can you banish hustle in favour of trusting your cycle to create a schedule that feels easier, less overwhelming, and more centred around YOU and your health and priorities?

In this episode I'm sharing some simple strategies I helped three different clients integrate into their full lives as multi-passionate women, mothers and business owners to do just this, and the transformations they experienced as a result. 

My intention is for you to see elements of yourself in them, and to begin to get a sense of some small changes you could explore so you too can live in greater flow as a cyclical woman. 

I'd love to know what resonates with you, what your struggles are in your day to day, and what your suggestions are too!

Understanding exactly what is going on within our bodies as cyclical beings is incredibly profound - in fact it's life altering, and potentially culturally transformational.  When the majority of girls grow up feeling very disconnected from their bodies and reject their menstrual cycles, as they are overwhelmed by cultural and familial menstrual shame, the effects of this play out in a multitude of ways across all realms of our lives. So by learning what your period is, and what your menstrual cycle is as a whole, and intentionally supporting and seeking support during our rites of passages is a sacred reclamation. From the cycle being recognised at the fifth vital sign of health for women and girls, to healing ancestral patterns, I explain why everyone - not just those who have a cycle - should care about periods.

Cyclical living is at the heart of what I teach and how I try to live my life. In this episode, I'm sharing that Cycle Awareness is the observation that all of life occurs in cycles, in a rhythm, in a revolving pattern that is on the whole fairly stable and predictable. Then cyclical living is the practice of following those patterns - and living in alignment with them. I explain what the different cycles are in the natural world, our bodies, and the outer culture we live in,  and how fighting these cycles can lead to painful periods, burnout, sickness, and overwhelm.
