Middlescence Podcast

Get silent to hear the whispers

Jacqui O'Connor is a seasoned nurse with 30 years of experience in mental health, wellness, and integrative care. Her powerful transition through menopause led to a profound dismantling and rediscovery, inspiring her to create registered charity Heart Place Hospital, a safe, sanctuary for healing mind, body, and soul. What began as a personal journey to fill the gaps she found in her own care became a lifeline for many others who needed the same support. Heart Place Hospital’s mission of guiding transitions and transformations extends beyond individuals, creating ripple effects that help all of society thrive and grow together.

Stripping back the layers of Burlesque, Bikini's and Body Image with Fanny Starr

Maison Burlesque

Well this series just got very very interesting.  When I started this project I knew that Catherine would be one of the very first people I wanted to chat with, as her story is inspiring. 

She does it for herself, and found a version not inhibited by social norms and expectations.  

She found a place where she feels safe to strip down to a bikini, wear heels and perform in front of an audience.
