Ashleigh Tobin is a master storyteller who uses words as colours and her voice as a paintbrush.
As a hormone health coach, registered nurse with 35+ years experience and TEDx speaker, she helps women navigate the profound transformation of midlife not as decline, but as awakening.
In this conversation, we dive deep into the four stages of womanhood: maiden, creative, enchantress, and sage.
That third stage, enchantress or warrior woman, coincides with our forties and fifties, exactly when society tells us we're "over the hill."
But Ashleigh reveals this as the time when our greatest resources are waiting to emerge.
We explore how the stories we tell ourselves either open or close possibilities, why curiosity is the antidote to certainty and criticism and how to navigate the break in continuity when you start becoming someone new.
This conversation also touches on the profound moment when Amanda chose her creative calling over traditional motherhood, leading to an identity shift from "escape artist" to "creative wayfinder", proof that we can rewrite our stories at any stage of life.
