Menopause Empowerment: The Role of Self-Advocacy with Dr. Joy'el Ballard

My Third Bloom

Dr. Joy'El Ballard is known as the Menopause Mogul. She's a board certified obstetrician, gynecologist, and business coach for black women over 40. a passionate advocate dedicated to empowering women, through the menopause transition by promoting self-advocacy and self-care in all aspects of their lives. She believes in the importance of acknowledging the unique experiences and challenges faced by black women during menopause and perimenopause. Her perspective has been shaped by the need to address the underrepresentation of black women in the discourse around women's health, particularly during menopause. Dr. Ballard's approach goes beyond addressing physical symptoms and delves into cultural nuances and emotional well-being, especially for black women who often prioritize strength and resilience over vulnerability. Through her Menopause Moguls coaching program, upcoming books on self-care and menopause, and her commitment to creating a safe space for women, Dr. Ballard aims to empower women to prioritize their holistic well-being during their menopause journey.
