S2, Ep11: Georgie Smith
Stop Pouring from an Empty Cup - Reclaiming Time, Energy & Identity in Midlife
Ever feel like you’ve been living on autopilot? Like time’s just... slipping through your fingers, and you’re always giving to everyone else but never really to yourself?
In this episode, I’m joined by Georgie Smith - a brilliant midlife coach and menopause practitioner who helps women navigate the big transitions of midlife with more ease, clarity and you at the centre. Georgie shares her own wake-up call moment (spoiler: it was a slooow burn, not a lightning bolt) and the gentle but powerful shifts that helped her move from emotional exhaustion to empowered clarity.
This one’s for anyone who’s felt stuck, burnt out or like you’ve lost touch with who you are. Especially if you’ve been running on fumes and putting everyone else first. We talk self-kindness, inner critics, taking the scary-but-tiny first step and why rest is productive.
We’re not here for hustle. We’re here for peace, presence and a life that feels like yours again.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Georgie’s story of burnout, perimenopause and rediscovering herself
What "midlife" really means (and why it's not about your age)
The time challenges her clients face and how she helps them get unstuck
How guilt, procrastination and emotional exhaustion mess with our time
The magic of mindfulness, body awareness and learning to be instead of do
Why values work is essential to reclaiming time and clarity
Tiny first steps you can take when you're stuck in the thick of it
Why hobbies and joy matter just as much as strategy and structure
