Lauren Tetenbaum has taken on many roles throughout her career - but they all share a common mission: to empower, support, and connect women.  Early in her journey, Lauren earned both her Master of Social Work (MSW) and Juris Doctor (JD) degrees simultaneously in her hometown of New York City after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania. As an immigration lawyer, she provided compassionate support to clients escaping persecution, abuse, and trauma. She later shifted her focus to maternal mental health and now offers career and life coaching specifically for millennial women navigating life's transitions.  In this episode, Lauren shares her transformative journey from law to social work, her focus on women's health, particularly around menopause, and the challenges she faced while writing her book, 'Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life’s Next Period'. This conversation emphasizes the need for open discussions about women's health issues, the value of community support and finding purpose in one's career! More about Lauren below:
