This episode is one I could not wait to share with you — I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Shirley Weir, founder of Menopause Chicks, who is changing the narrative around midlife and menopause in the most empowering way.

Shirley shares her journey of hitting a breaking point in her early 40s and realizing the information and support women were receiving just wasn't enough — or accurate. She took matters into her own hands and has since built one of the most respected, community-centered menopause platforms out there.

In our conversation, we talk about:

✨ Why midlife is the perfect time to rewrite your own rules

✨ The massive gap between what we should know about menopause and what we're actually told

✨ The real story on hormone therapy — and what the research (not fear) actually says

✨ How to confidently speak to your healthcare provider about symptoms and treatment

✨ The difference between perimenopause and menopause — and why knowing the difference matters so much

Whether you're navigating hot flashes, mood shifts, sleep struggles, or just wondering "Is this normal?" — this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and supported.

Shirley has a gift for making complex information feel human and empowering, and I love how she encourages women to get curious, advocate for themselves, and choose what's right for them — not just what they've been told to tolerate.
