Becoming Menopoised

Gloria Smythe is a fashion designer and takes life with both hands in being bold in embracing the change of menopause - stylishly and confidently.   Having worked with multiple women to help them regain their confidence through what they wear and finding their style, Gloria has enabled many to go from feeling like a hot mess to feeling like themselves again.  Gloria knows first hand that holding onto the past with your wardrobe - saving those clothes that simply don't fit anymore, prevents you from being present, which can hold you back more than you would believe.  With her mantra to 'get up and show up', Gloria's wardrobe detox and back to basics approach can boost the confidence of every woman going through change.

Ali Hendry makes people gasp in more ways than one –  this episode is packed with insight, support and advice from her as an expert in the field of menopause and communication. Ali works as a corporate trainer and coach in public, private, voluntary and military organisations, as well as working with couples on relationship issues, most recently showcased by Chanel 5's Lesbian Guide to Straight Sex;  which is not as salacious as it sounds - encompassing very rude words beginning with C, such as communication, connection and talking with couples about how they can actively improve their relationships. There’s no end to this woman’s talents, as Ali is also a writer, comedian and compere – so there is no subject that is off limits.

Nicki Williams is a pioneer in busting taboos around menopause. As an award winning nutritionist, author and speaker, Nicki has changed the way we talk about hormones and nutrition, to help women of all ages to reclaim their health and feel better than ever. Something so needed for anyone entering peri/menopause.

After failing to find any medical help for her health issues herself in her early 40’s, Nicki discovered that she could turn things around using diet, lifestyle and natural supplements. This led her to founding Happy Hormones for Life, where she and her expert team use state of the art hormone and other health testing to identify the root cause of symptoms so that they can resolve imbalances for good.

We love it when a woman on a mission makes such an impact and that is an understatement when that woman is Rebekah Brown.

Turned away by her GP because she was ‘too young’ to have symptoms of menopause, Rebekah she found herself trawling the aisles of the local health food store, staring at a vast range of products and ingredients she knew nothing about – faced with imagery that certainly didn’t represent her or her friends.

Curiosity cut through the brain fog. And applying her creative, research investigator mind, Rebekah looked further into the bio-chemical changes the female body goes through in menopause and what vitamins we all need at each stage, regardless of symptoms.

Armed with insight, Rebekah took things into her own hands and MPowder was born.

She is now on a mission to reframe midlife and deliver the community, services and co-created product range to help women everywhere. With the rallying cry to help women make menopause their superpower.

In fact she hadn’t shared her story at all. Her bravery in doing so now, is helping to blow the doors off the menopause taboo. This episode is as raw as it is entertaining - with plenty of advice and laughter along for the ride.

Rosi Viljoen is co-founder of The Midlife Hub and on a mission to help people live their (mid) lives to the max. After 20 years in the luxury travel industry working for a global financial services company, Rosi was inspired by her experience of perimenopause to create her own midlife pivot - jumping out of the corporate world and into creating a lively social enterprise. 

Rosi shares her frank and heartwarming perspective on the trigger for change and how much enjoyment there is along the way. Along with how having invisible symptoms doesn't mean you're going mad - even if you can't remember the word for biscuit occasionally.
