The moment you think a surprise party is coming and HR walks in instead—what happens next? We sit down with author and broadcaster Sheridan Stewart for a raw, uplifting tour through radio’s hidden gears: legends and layoffs, emergency broadcasting that steals your sleep, and the quiet courage it takes to start over when the wheel turns without you. Sheridan’s number-one ratings didn’t shield her from a mid-show redundancy; they became the soil for a deeper career built on service, empathy, and a powerful declaration: I am enough.

We trace the arc from Triple M Adelaide to the ABC, from back-to-back bushfires into a pandemic, and the lesson that 150 percent is a myth. Sheridan breaks down her 90-day challenge—no non-essential spending, using what you have, and a hard line on unpaid overtime—and explains how it reset her money story, her focus, and her energy. She draws a crisp line between affirmation and declaration, showing why claiming enoughness now (not later) protects your capacity for real emergencies, loved ones, and the work that truly matters.

There’s joy here too: an “increasing joy” plan that led to dancing in the dark, daily movement, and a lighter way to carry ambition. We talk midlife friendships that act as touchstones, gratitude practices that stick, and the scary-fun leap into building a values-led business—courses, publishing, and owning the pipes after years of making value for others. If you’re navigating burnout, big pivots, or a creative reboot, this conversation offers humane productivity, practical boundaries, and small rituals that change everything.

Listen, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review to tell us your first 90-day rule. Then visit sheridanstewart.com to learn more and find her book, I Am Enough.

Ready to crack open the Hot Flush Files? Dr. Sian Hebron, women's health expert and self-described "hormone whisperer," joins us for a candid conversation about the journey through perimenopause and menopause that no one adequately prepares us for.

With refreshing honesty and medical expertise, Dr. Hebron demystifies the difference between perimenopause (when hormones go "wacky" in a chaotic dance) and menopause (after your final ovulation when hormone levels flatline). She explains why so many women feel they're "losing the plot" during this time, experiencing everything from unexplained rage to complete emotional disconnection from their usual selves.

The conversation tackles the hard questions about Hormone Replacement Therapy – is it safe or dangerous? Dr. Hebron provides a balanced view, explaining who might benefit and what precautions are necessary. For those seeking natural approaches, she offers practical advice about sleep, nutrition, exercise, and which supplements actually have evidence behind them.

Perhaps most valuable is her encouragement to be your own health advocate. Too many women are dismissed with "put up with it" or "you're too old" when seeking help for menopausal symptoms. Dr. Hebron empowers listeners to demand better care and provides tips for finding healthcare providers who will take their concerns seriously.

This episode delivers exactly what women need: straight-talking medical information, practical solutions, and the reassurance that midlife doesn't have to be miserable. Whether you're currently navigating the hormone rollercoaster or want to prepare for what's ahead, this conversation offers wisdom without judgment and solutions without shame.
