Welcome back to Peri Menopause Power where we dive deep into the conversations that empower women navigating midlife and beyond. In this week's episode, get ready to be inspired as we're joined for the second time by Kathryn Elliott one of Australia’s leading specialist alcohol and binge drinking coach for high-functioning professionals.

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

She explores why alcohol is often used as a coping mechanism during challenging transitions, emphasizing the need to address this trend. Kathryn also offers healthier coping strategies and lifestyle changes for managing stress and navigating life's transitions without relying on alcohol.

In this episode of Peri Menopause Power, we delve into the world of PMDD with Adriana Tantau, a global fitness consultant and host of The PMDD Podcast. 

As you know our podcast has a specific focus on Peri Menopause, but it is important for us to also acknowledge that Menopause doesn’t just happen. We experience our reproductive years and menstrual cycles in the lead up to Peri Menopause and those experiences become part of our story and contribute to our Menopause experience. 

So it is important for us to bring to you the awareness of various conditions and experiences women have around their menstrual cycles and life phases, because these are vast and varied.

Adriana shares her personal journey with PMDD and endometriosis, highlighting the challenges and triumphs along the way. Through her advocacy work, Adriana is on a mission to raise awareness and promote education on menstrual health, aiming to destigmatize and empower individuals. 

This was an incredible conversation that at times left both Nat and Lisa speechless. We also loved Adriana's journey to supporting herself and nurturing her body with what she needed physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Originally from London, Emma’s career has seen her live and work in the UK, US and the last decade, Australia.
