How I Bounced Back From Burnout And Reinvented Myself In Midlife – Rosie Nixon

How can you bounce back from burnout and is it really possible to reinvent yourself mid-menopause? 🤝 Get your own personalised menopause support from Dr Naomi Naomi Potter and her team: https://www.menopausecare.co.uk/what-... In today’s episode of Is It Hot In Here? Dr Naomi Potter is joined by the former Editor of Hello! magazine, Rosie Nixon. Rosie is no stranger to an intense, highly demanding job. While at Hello! Magazine, she was facing press nights every Friday, deadlines against the clock, and covering exclusive stories with A-List celebs. Robbie Williams, the Royal Family, you name it! For a long time she thrived… until she didn’t. In her late 40s “I collapsed on the bed in a pool of tears,” she recalls. “And I just thought: I am done.” The timing was not a coincidence. Although she didn’t, at the time, recognise the symptoms, Rosie was also experiencing peri-menopause. So how much of this work-related stress was exactly that – and how much was being exacerbated by midlife hormonal turbulence? Rosie’s journey to psychological, social and professional reinvention is emotional, inspiring and educational. Want to know how you could do the same? This episode is just for you.
