    • Menopause, Mindset & Style: Why Confidence Shifts in Midlife (and how to rebuild it)

      Menopause, Mindset & Style: Why Confidence Shifts in Midlife (and how to rebuild it)
      Feb 18 2026

      In this episode of A Styled Life, Alex sits down with Dani Diosi (menopause support coach, hypnotherapist, NLP Master Coach & trauma therapist) to unpack what really happens during perimenopause and menopause and why it can feel so disorientating.

      Dani explains the neural side of menopause, why confidence and body image often take a hit, and how years of conditioning around “thin = good” collide with a changing body.

      Together, they talk about the fashion industry’s age gap, the pressure to look younger, and why confidence isn’t a “look” it’s a practice. They also share practical mindset shifts: moving from cardio-and-calorie obsession to strength, longevity, and self-worth, plus why tracking symptoms can help you advocate for yourself with a GP.
