Midlife, Perimenopause & Motivation: Real Talk with Leanna & Laura
Welcome back to Season 2 of the podcast where Leanna & Laura spill the truth, share the laughs, and break down the realities of midlife, business, and everything in between! 🌿💪
This premiere kicks off with two fan-favourite segments — Banned Words and Confessions — before diving deep into a brutally honest chat about menopause, hormones, and health.
Laura opens up about her journey through fatigue, brain fog, and HRT — including a hilarious “crab walk” phase involving hormone gel 🦀 — while Leanna reflects on leadership, energy, and learning to prioritise well-being without guilt.
They also tackle a listener’s question about team resistance — offering smart, practical, and heartfelt advice for clinic and business owners navigating communication, money transparency, and what real leadership looks like.
It’s funny, raw, and full of the warmth and honesty that make this duo so relatable. 💛
