338. Menopause: Could This ACTUALLY Be Your Window of Opportunity?


Listen Later

Menopause. Just the word can strike dread in the hearts of women of any age. It’s the beginning of the end! The time when things go haywire and your body starts to fall apart!

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Meet Donna Klassen, the CEO and co-founder of Let’s Talk Menopause, a national nonprofit organization that is invested in helping women get the information they need and the healthcare they deserve. She’s also a practicing therapist and licensed clinical social worker, and has her own remarkable story about her journey with menopause and cancer.

In this conversation, Donna talks about the need to change the conversation around menopause, emphasizing that it is not a time to be afraid of and that it's okay to talk about it. We discuss becoming your own advocate with your doctor, practicing self-compassion and acceptance, and the long-term health risks and opportunities women should keep in mind. And so much more!

Don’t miss today’s episode as we flip the menopause conversation on its head!
