A Simpler Path to Perimenopause Support : How Simple Wellness, Intuitive Movement, and Daily Meditation Build Sustainable Midlife Wellness with Sonia Azad [Ep 67]

Have you ever reached a point where the career you worked hard to build no longer matches the person you are becoming, leading you to consider a career change that brings you closer to your life purpose?

In this episode, I’m joined by Sonia Azad, a two-time Emmy Award-winning health journalist, global yoga retreat leader, and wellness entrepreneur who spent more than 20 years working in television.

Sonia and I talk about the professional transition that took her from a successful television career into leading retreats and building a wellness company. We explore how stepping away from familiar routines can create personal clarity, why solo travel has strengthened her intuition, and how practical awareness helps her navigate unfamiliar places.

We also discuss the need for more open conversations about perimenopause support and the hormonal changes women may experience in their 40s.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize when a successful career no longer supports the life you want
• Why daily meditation can strengthen patience and emotional steadiness
• How retreat circles encourage reflection, honesty, and connection
• What silent Vipassana courses taught Sonia about listening and simplicity
• Why mindful living can begin with eating, eye contact, and quiet
• How supportive communities can help midlife women share questions without shame
• Why honest conversations are an important part of midlife wellness
• How journaling can create space for ideas, emotions, and intentions
• Why simple wellness can include nourishment, flowers, movement, and a calmer home
• How intuitive movement can help us choose exercise based on what our bodies need

This conversation is a reminder that we need enough quiet to notice what is no longer aligned, reconnect with what matters, and choose our next chapter with intention.

Hit play and let's grow together, Kimberly
