E52 - Menopause - The Hidden World of Women

The Hidden World of Women

Every year, twice a year in fact, we put out a service evaluation asking people what they would like to see us cover. Every time people say ‘menopause’ but when we offer information sessions people just don’t come. Whether that is because of the stigma that still surrounds talking about menopause or it is because women in perimenopause years are ‘busy’, maybe they are stressed or maybe they just forget (turns out they are both symptoms of perimenopause, who knew?) but, in an effort to give information on a topic that has been requested this episode is about menopause and perimenopause.

In this episode I chat with Lisa Saunders from Own Your Health Collective about all things menopause and healthy aging in general.

If you want to find out more Lisa and her business partner Natalie have information on their website www.ownyourhealth.com.au as well as a podcast specifically focused on perimenopause called Peri Menopause Power (available on all good streaming sites but here is a link to make it easier https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/peri-menopause-power/id1588187655).

In the episode Lisa spoke about stress and the benefit of mindfulness to your health in menopause and in healthy aging. If you want to find out more about mindfulness we have a course on our sister organisation The Hidden World of You https://hiddenworldofyou.com.au/courses/introduction-to-mindfulness/
