027: Energy, Hormones and the Truth About Thriving as a Woman in Business With Adele Johnston

There’s a hidden cost to pushing through. Behind many high-achieving women is a nervous system on the brink, hormonal imbalances dismissed as “just stress,” and success built on self-abandonment.

In this powerful episode, Lucy is joined by Adele Johnston, menopause educator, hormone specialist, and host of The Menopause Coach Podcast. Adele shares her deeply personal story of burnout, hormonal collapse, and what it took to rebuild a life and business from the inside out. Together, they unpack the pressure of perfectionism, the silence around emotional well-being, and the biological cost of always being “the strong one.”

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, in the thick of entrepreneurship, or simply craving more alignment with your body, this conversation is a must. You’ll walk away reconnected to your feminine rhythms, with a deeper understanding of how hormone health is performance health—not a “women’s issue” to deal with later.

This episode is especially for powerhouse women who:

• Are holding it all together on the outside, but feel disconnected or depleted inside
• Suspect their stress, fatigue, or emotional swings might be more than “just burnout.”
