Episode 12: Menopause, Anger & Acceptance: The Emotions We Don’t Talk About with Alison Bale

In this powerful and refreshingly honest conversation, Dr Nikki Ramskill sits down with Alison Bale, former chiropractor and founder of Mind Insight, to explore one of menopause’s most misunderstood emotions: anger.

Alison shares her personal experience of hitting menopause while running a busy healthcare clinic, and how unexpected bursts of rage left her questioning who she’d become. Together, Nikki and Alison unpack why so many women feel shame around anger, how suppressed emotions can resurface during perimenopause, and why learning to notice your feelings rather than fix them, can be deeply healing.

They discuss:

The hidden link between hormonal change, identity, and suppressed rage
How anger can signal unmet needs rather than “bad behaviour”
Practical ways to work with, not against, your emotions
The power of curiosity, journaling, and self-compassion in midlife
Why “doing less” and listening to your body is sometimes the real growth

Alison also explains her therapeutic approach through Mind Insight, offering compassionate support for women navigating anger, burnout, and emotional overwhelm, particularly around menopause and fertility loss.
