In Episode 29 of the Positive Outlooks Podcast, I’m joined by the incredibly knowledgeable Dr Anna Kearney from YP Pelvic Pain Clinic for an honest and empowering conversation about perimenopause and menopause.

Anna shares her wealth of knowledge in a way that feels reassuring, relatable and easy to understand. Together, we explore the hormonal changes women may experience, symptoms that are often overlooked, intimacy, pelvic health and the importance of feeling informed and supported throughout this stage of life.

We also step beyond the medical clinic to discover more about Anna, the woman behind the expertise, what has shaped her and the passion that drives her work.

This is a conversation I truly believe every woman needs to hear. After speaking with Anna, I felt more informed, confident and reassured about navigating the ever-changing nature of women’s hormones—and I hope you will too.

• Complementary Therapies for Menopausal Symptoms – Australasian Menopause Society
