Peri Menopause Power

In this week's episode we speak with The Alcohol Mindset Coach Kathryn Elliott. 

It was a fascinating conversation and in fact rather than having a structured interview for this episode, we simply hit record on our conversation. 

Kathryn Kathryn works as a certified This Naked Mind alcohol coach and has been living alcohol free since July 1, 2019. As a former binge drinker for over 30 years,
Kath coaches from lived experience and believes vulnerability and sharing our own stories is one of the most powerful tools in finding a more balanced relationship with alcohol.

We talk about Kathryn's personal story of how she became a coach supporting others around alcohol consumption, she openly shares her experience of having breast cancer and how that ultimately led her to early Menopause as well as sharing some of the real benefits she has seen and felt as a result of choosing not to drink. 

We talk often about the impacts of alcohol on our health and wellbeing and it can be a tricky conversation to navigate because most of us all like to have social drink but the reality is that it is not great for our health and can be a huge contributor to Peri Menopause symptoms. 

We hope you enjoy this conversation and listen to it with an open mind and heart. 

You can learn more about Kathryn via her website https://www.thealcoholmindsetcoach.com or she has kindly provided her email address too [email protected]

In our 50th episode we have a wonderful conversation with Dr Kath Kovac. 

Kath is a science editor and workshop facilitator based in a small community one hour from Canberra. She also teaches the mindful arts of tai chi, qigong and meditation, and facilitates women's circles in her local community and online. Through her new business, Kupala, Kath wants to combine her experience from community women's circles and mindfulness teaching with her professional workshop facilitation skills to help women support each other better in the workplace. She would love to see true female-friendly working environments where all women feel safe, valued, heard and respected, connected to and supported by each other as though they truly belong. As a woman a few years post menopause, Kath would particularly like to help women in the workplace cope with the challenges and massive transformation that menopause brings.

Our chat is incredibly insightful as we talk through women's life cycles from menarche to menstruation to Menopause and beyond. Kath is very open and honest about her feelings of having only finally understood the power of cycles in her late 40s and extremely honest about life as a post menopausal woman.

In this episode, we channel our best Brene Brown inspiration to talk about vulnerability and in particular finding a way to be vulnerable with not just others but with ourselves. 

We know that you know what a change going through Peri Menopause is and we appreciate the challenge of talking about what we are experiencing, but sometimes our greatest breakthrough can come from being vulnerable with ourselves to help us be vulnerable with others. 

As you listen through this episode, we'd love you to think about your own vulnerability and where you can start being more vulnerable with yourself and others.

In this week's episode we have an incredibly impactful conversation with Barbara Hamilton-Bruce. Barbara is head of client and business operations at Simmons & Simmons Solutions Limited, an international law firm based in the UK. And Barbara has been pivotal in bringing Menopause awareness and education to her workplace in the UK. 

Barbara gets deeply personal about her own experience of starting Peri Menopause at the age of 40 not long after the birth of her second child. She talks openly about her symptoms and shares how her one attempt to bring her experience up with her workplace did not end as she had hoped. 

Barbara is a woman on a mission to champion Menopause conversations and awareness and she is a wealth of knowledge and experience when starting the conversation in the workplace. We had a little chuckle after recording about the release of this episode being dropped on Halloween. If you do not know the history (an episode will come on this) we were often considered witches in our older years back in the day.

In this episode, Natalie and Lisa talk through this idea of "thriving" through Menopause. 

The word thriving comes up a lot in conversations as we try to shift the mindset about Menopause and the experience. A recent workshop we facilitated brought some fascinating insights and ones which we wanted to share with you. 

We talk though what we believe thriving is, how you can learn to thrive in the midst of struggle and how a whole health approach can help you decide what thriving looks like to you. 

In the episode, we talk about our 5 pillar framework, you can read this blog article of ours to learn more about the pillars and the application to your own life.

In this episode, we speak with Dr Kerri-Ann Hughes, Senior Lecturer from Massey's School of Nursing. Dr Hughes is part of an international research team looking at nurses' experience of Menopause. 

In this insightful conversation we speak with Kerri-Ann about her international research and the desired outcomes to support nurses, why Menopause is not a mental health issue and we discuss the important theme behind this years World Menopause Day. 

World Menopause Day is Tuesday October 18th. The theme for World Menopause Day is Mood and Cognition and bringing to light how Menopause can impact our mood and cognition. We also see it as an opportunity to bring to light some of the lifestyle strategies we can all be doing to support our mood and cognition, leading into and during Menopause. 

To celebrate World Menopause Day, we are hosting a FREE webinar Menopause in the Workplace: Starting the Conversation. This webinar aims to address why we need to address Menopause at work and will explore ways to build confidence around having the conversation about it. We'd love you to join us and book in to attend this webinar. BOOK IN HERE We are hosting this webinar October 18th 12pm (Australian EDST).

In this episode we celebrate one year of our podcast! 

As we share in this episode, having our own podcast was on our list of things to create and achieve over the last couple of years. It wasn't until we realised the real lack of education and awareness of Menopause and the fact that many women are struggling that we had a podcast we could create and that would give incredible value.

We have absolutely loved bringing you our podcast and our episodes each week and we hope you have loved listening to us every week. We hope that you have been inspired, informed and made aware of how you can support your whole health leading into, during and beyond Menopause. 

We look forward to another 12 months of episodes and guests. Please feel free to send us your guest suggestions or send us any questions that you would love answered for our podcast. 

If you have loved listening to this episode and all of our others we'd love you to leave us a review or subscribe or share it around to someone who would get great value from listening.
