What if the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding are actually the ones that connect you most deeply to others?

In this soulful and hilarious conversation, I sit down with content creator, speaker, and menopause advocate Jesse Schewchuk, founder of Modern Muse Media and The Menopause Mission. We talk about the power of authenticity, the chaos of content creation, and why true leadership starts with self-connection.

From showing up visibly online to walking through the fire of menopause and still standing in her truth, Jesse shares her personal stories, her career evolution, and the hard-won wisdom that’s come from allowing herself to be seen—fully and unapologetically.

Whether you're navigating visibility, launching something new, or just trying to hold it together in midlife, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Jesse went from a video-obsessed kid to a 20+ year career in broadcast and content creation
• The new era of human-first storytelling
• The link between authenticity, leadership, and burnout-proof content
• Tips for showing up when you feel overwhelmed or "not ready"
• The unexpected birth of The Menopause Mission and its ripple effect
• Why asking for help is the most powerful leadership move
• How menopause brought her back to herself and gave her a new message to share
• Jesse’s upcoming book and the matriarchal legacy behind it
