This week, Michelle talks with Mellanie Parry, a powerhouse who turned personal adversity into leadership. Mellanie's story highlights how she was told she was "too young for perimenopause" by her GP despite chronic symptoms, leading to a breakdown at forty-five before receiving HRT, and which sparked a huge personal reinvention
Mellanie used this as the fuel to create a community of over eighty thousand women by sharing her honest experience with perimenopause and an ADHD diagnosis, eventually taking her mission to the Houses of Parliament.
In this powerful episode, listen as Mellanie talks about the ways in which she empowers women who refuse to be silenced, blending mindset and inner strength.
Mellanie Reveals
BEST MOMENTS
"What if the very symptoms you're told to ignore are actually the ones screaming for change?"
"I begged for help. I was gaslit and told 'Well, you are a bit irritable, aren't you?'"
"I didn't see a way forward... I couldn't think how can I get, how can I feel better... and I'd read other women's stories about HRT had helped them. So I do believe that having this hope was something that I was there, so that lifted me."
"I was so anxious and so low and so just incapable of like mixing and being around people and holding a conversation.' So, it was life-changing within weeks."
