Welcome to our 100th episode of Peri Menopause Power! 

We have celebrated a few milestones over the lifetime of the podcast, but this is a very special milestone. We are very proud of what we have achieved and appreciative of you our listeners, who share your time with us and for that we say thank you! 

For this episode we wanted to highlight two key messages:

1. “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.” - Mother Theresa. We all have a part to play when it comes to changing the narrative, shifting stigma and squashing taboos! And this is why we created this podcast to close the gap in the lack of education and to create ripples of awareness with the view that as collective we can make great change together. 
2. "The power of community to create health is far greater than any physician, clinic or hospital." - Mark Hyman. We want to bring home the power and love we can get from connecting with others and sharing in our experiences. There is so much to gain from being around others and when you come together with like minded individuals who get you and want to support you,  it will truly bring at your greatest self, health, life and the way you show up to the world. 

We have a light hearted conversation about the road to this episode and as we celebrate a year of being with our own Thrive Together community, we welcome the wonderful words of some of the ladies who have been part of this community to inspire and highlight what they have gained by being part of it. You will hear from Bron Williams, Leigh Evans, Kylie Espandiar and Bianca McKee. 

Whether this is your first episode or your hundredth, we see you as being part of this community that is Peri Menopause Power. 

Thank you for listening, supporting and following along with each of our episodes.  We are officially signing off for 2023, but will be back in 2024. Feel free to contact us with any guest or topic suggestions and if you haven't had the chance to leave a review, we would love you to do so! 

Have a wonderful festive season and a safe and enjoyable New Year. See you in 2024. 

With love and gratitude, Lisa and Nat

In this week's episode we re-ignite the conversation about Menopause in the workplace. It's been a little while since we've spoken about businesses and workplaces but with the year drawing to a close we thought it was a great time to talk about it again. 

We have seen so much change over the last 12 months, momentum is definitely building and individuals across the business world are becoming part of this conversation. But there is still a very long way to go.

In this conversation, we talk through some stats from a recent Deloitte's survey, we discuss the impact that the lack of support is having on women at work and we round out our conversation with some ideas on how workplaces can start to introduce this topic and more. 

We'd love to hear from you, is your workplace talking about Menopause? And if not, what is the obstacle?  Feel free to send us an email

Thank you for always listening, we love and appreciate that you share your time with us. 

If you haven't already we'd love you to let us know what you think of our podcast, will you leave us a review? And don't forget to subscribe and share it around with others. The more we all talk about Menopause, the more we can normalise it and create the change we want to see.

• the importance of being kind to yourself as you navigate this life stage.

Welcome back to Peri Menopause Power. In this week's episode we give you the opportunity to take some time to connect with where you are right now - that might be physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

As we near the end of the year there are so many external factors that can play a critical role in how we are feeling, with or without Menopause symptoms. Unfortunately, the busyness of this time of year leave us feeling depleted, stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. This of course can hinder our energy levels and increase the impact of our symptoms.

During this episode we give you journal prompters that you can use to help you better connect with how you are feeling, set yourself an intention for the day ahead or simply be the beginning of your tracking your symptoms and energy levels. 

You may like to pause the episode after each question and write down your answers or you might just like to have a moment of quiet contemplation whilst you are listening. Either way, we hope you enjoy this episode. 

Have you been able to leave us a review yet? We would love to hear from you. If you can spare us a minute would you leave us a review and let us know what you think of our podcast. And of course feel free to reach out to us anytime.

In this week's episode, we have a thought provoking conversation about our beliefs, thoughts, feelings and actions around Menopause. 

Always inspired by a quote, Natalie shares a quote from strategic coach Dan Sullivan which is "your eyes see and your ear hears what your brain is looking for". This is a powerful quote that can be applied to the lens of Menopause because consciously or subconsciously we all have beliefs, thoughts and feelings about what it is, what it means and our own personal experience. 

Listen in to the conversation with Nat and Lisa have as they guide you through the thinking behind CBT and how you can start to unearth your beliefs and thoughts and make your own choices around how you want to feel, think and experience Menopause. 

Have you been able to leave us a review yet? We would absolutely love it if you could. And don't be shy in sharing our podcast with those in your life who could do with a little Peri Menopause Power.

In this week's episode, excitedly bringing you the inspiring and thought provoking conversation we had with two of our past guests Penny Locaso and Grace Zielinski.

During this conversation we discuss the common myths that are associated with Menopause, some of the challenges women have together with their desires in support, how to have open and vulnerable conversations about this phase and then of course we talk about lifestyle health.

Welcome to this week's episode where we speak with solicitor Jessica Heron. We have been following Jessica's work over the years and knew that it was time to have her on our podcast. 

Jessica is currently a practicing solicitor at Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, and specialises in the area of Employment and Industrial Law. In September 2022, Jessica established a working group with some of her union clients to uncover ways in which reproductive health issues could be better dealt with by workplaces. Jessica has continued to lead the strategy for the working group’s campaign, with the focal point being the need for reproductive health to be considered under the Fair Work Act through the inclusion of additional leave days and flexible work entitlements. 

During our conversation Jessica shares: 

• Her own personal story of why she is so passionate about advocating for greater menstrual and menopause awareness
• How she is seeing shifts in awareness and acceptance
• Her role in supporting menstrual and menopause leave
• Her aspirations for bringing legislation and laws into workplaces to support women around reproductive health. 

Jessica's passion is so evident and her commitment to her work and cause even stronger. We know you will love this conversation and be touched by Jessica's story and work. 

You can learn more about Jessica or connect with via LinkedIn
