In this episode, I’m joined by Anu Verma—certified trauma recovery coach, holistic therapist, and author of Victim to Victor.

Anu’s story is one of courage and resilience. She opens up about her own experience of childhood trauma, the years she spent in survival mode, and how she eventually found the tools to begin her journey of healing and empowerment.

Through her work today as a trauma recovery coach, Anu helps others process unresolved trauma, rebuild self-worth, and move from victimhood into strength and possibility.

In our conversation, she shares not only her personal story but also the practical approaches and mindset shifts that can support anyone on the path of trauma healing and recovery.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this conversation:

• How Anu’s early experiences of childhood trauma shaped her life—and the turning points that helped her begin the journey of healing.
• Why telling your story can be a powerful step in trauma recovery and reclaiming your voice.
• The practical tools and holistic practices Anu used to move from surviving to thriving.
• How rebuilding self-worth and resilience creates the foundation for lasting transformation.
• Inspiring insights on moving from victimhood to empowerment, and finding hope even after the hardest experiences.

On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Lucy & I are talking about people pleasing.

We all do it - particularly women - but is it actually serving us? The need to belong and be liked often sees us doing or saying things that aren’t in alignment with who we truly are.

When we put the needs of others above our own, we often end up feeling resentful and depleted, which is no good for anyone!

In this conversation, Lucy and I give examples of how we’ve both been people pleasers in the past, but how we’re now much more discerning about what we say yes to and - importantly - what we say no to.

We hope you’ll find something useful in here.

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

This week on Menomorphosis, I’m joined once again by the wonderful Karen Newby — nutritionist, author, and the go-to guide for using food to support your body through menopause.

We’re diving into her brand-new book, The Natural Menopause Method Cookbook — a refreshing, symptom-led approach that takes the guesswork out of eating well during this life stage. Think less “follow this diet” and more “nourish yourself in ways that meet you exactly where you are.”

Karen shares her wisdom on food as medicine, how it can help manage menopause symptoms, and how we can make simple yet nourishing meals part of our everyday menopause care.

What you’ll learn:

• How to choose meals based on how you’re feeling (e.g., irritable, fatigued, or brain fogged)
• The powerful connection between food and menopause symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, and midsection weight gain
• Why digestion matters just as much as the food you eat, and how to optimise it
• Simple, nourishing, and time-saving recipes that anyone can whip up – no culinary skills required!
• How cooking can become an act of self-love and nourishment, rather than just another task on your to-do list

If you’re looking for ways to improve menopause symptoms with food and add more easy to cook and nourishing meals to your life, this episode is packed with practical tips and inspiration.

📖 Pre-order The Natural Menopause Method Cookbook now and start building meals that work with your body, not against it.
