What happens when the very thing we’ve been told to hide becomes the one thing that unites us? In this conversation with Ali Daddo, we step right into the heart of menopause, shame, and the stories women carry about aging and self-judgment.

Ali shares openly about her own transition, from being one of Australia’s most recognized models to becoming an advocate for women’s health. We talk about the symptoms that shook her, the silence that made it harder, and the empowerment that comes from bringing these conversations into the light. This episode is honest, raw, and ultimately a reminder that we are never alone in this experience.

Key Takeaways

Self-Judgment Runs Deep – Many women struggle more with their own judgment than the perception of others as their bodies change.

Hormone Education Matters – Understanding what’s happening biologically can ease fear and shame during perimenopause and menopause.

Symptoms Can Be Overwhelming – From sleep loss to mental health challenges, menopause affects every aspect of life, and talking about it is key.

Support is Under-Resourced – Women in rural and urban areas alike often struggle to access informed care and compassionate practitioners.

Partners Play a Role – Men can become allies by learning about menopause and showing up in supportive ways, which strengthens relationships.

Self-Care is Essential – Menopause can be the turning point that finally makes women prioritize rest, nutrition, and emotional wellbeing.
