In this episode of The Art of Self, I’m talking with Tracy Minnoch, the woman behind Sexy Ageing. Tracy is an advocate and educator for women navigating menopause in midlife, and she shares her journey with honesty, warmth, and hope.

We explore what it really means to age well - from confidence and choice, to feeling at home in your body and reclaiming your voice in midlife. Tracy also dives into visibility and why so many women feel invisible as they age, and how stepping into your creativity and agency can transform this stage of life.

We discuss her long career in the fitness industry, how her own menopause experience inspired Sexy Ageing, and how she’s now sharing her expertise as a UGC (user-generated content) creator, connecting authentically with audiences in new ways.

If you’re navigating change, questioning old narratives about ageing, or feeling called to create something new in this season of life, this episode is for you.

Sarah shares practical, pressure-free ways to reconnect with your body, your pleasure, and your partner - reminding us that intimacy is something we can gently rebuild, at any stage.

Menopause is often talked about as something women just have to “get through”, but what if that’s not the full story?

In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Jennings from Jennings Holistic Health for an honest conversation about menopause, health, and what’s really happening beneath the symptoms.

We talk about why some women struggle deeply during this stage of life while others seem to breeze through, and why menopause itself isn’t the root cause - but often the trigger. Steve shares a holistic perspective shaped by decades of experience supporting women (and couples), and explains how stress, immune health, gut health, sleep, nutrition, and emotional load all play a role during this season.

We also explore common myths, the role of HRT, how partners can better support women through this transition, and why your body isn’t broken - it’s communicating.

This conversation is for women navigating menopause or perimenopause, and for partners who want to better understand what their loved one is experiencing. It’s grounded and focused on long-term wellbeing - not quick fixes.
