Do You Have a Health Plan for Midlife and Beyond?You have a business plan. You have a financial plan. But what about a health plan?In this episode of the Menopause Conversations podcast, Angela poses one of the most important — and overlooked — questions midlife women need to ask themselves:Do I have a plan for my health as I age?With honesty and insight, Angela dives into the concept of health span vs. lifespan, and there’s a difference you probably haven't considered. Most women begin to experience a noticeable health decline around the age of 63 BUT that doesn't have to be your reality.She explores the everyday symptoms so many women brush off or tolerate — brain fog, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight gain, aches and pains, hot flushes, rising blood pressure or cholesterol — and explains how these are signals your body is out of balance, not just inevitable signs of aging.You’ll also hear:The real reason symptoms only show up once the body is already under stress.What movement does to your brain and hormones (and why you need more of it).How simple, sustainable choices — from better food to fresh air — can help you thrive.An honest question to ask yourself about where you want to be in 6 months, 1 year… or even 5 years?Angela shares her personal story of slipping out of balance earlier this year, how she found her way back through consistency and mindset shifts, and how you can do the same — without overhauling your entire life.This episode is your invitation to stop putting your health last, and start building the future you want to live in.Grab your free guide: Thriving in Menopause

In today’s episode of Menopause Conversations, I’m joined by Sonya Lovell, an advocate for challenging societal stigmas and taboos, and for promoting better education and resources for all people as they transition through menopause.Sonya’s journey began at 47 when she experienced induced menopause due to breast cancer treatment. Feeling overwhelmed, unsupported, and under-educated about menopause, Sonya struggled to understand what was happening to her rapidly changing health. Experiencing anxiety, mild depression, and a host of other physical symptoms, Sonya set off on a mission to understand everything she could about peri-menopause and menopause. This has led her to recently presenting at the Senate inquiry into Peri-Menopause and Menopause, and she’s here to discuss:What a Senate inquiry is and why it was necessaryWhat unfolded during the inquiryWho participated, including people with lived experiences, health professionals, government bodies, University RepresentativesThe key recommendations and next stepsWe also explore how every one of us can contribute to ensuring these recommendations are implemented—whether by writing to local and federal representatives or initiating conversations at schools, workplaces, and in our personal lives.Menopause impacts everyone: over 50% of the population will directly experience the transition, and 100% will feel its ripple effects.

She also dives into fascinating research by Dr. Mario Martinez, a clinical neuropsychologist, who examines how cultural beliefs impact our health and longevity.Lynda's key takeaway?

This week's podcast topic is such an important one as we focus on Menopause in the Workplace. For many years the topic of menopause was not discussed in public and certainly was not spoken about in the workplace. In fact, a study showed that when asked, women felt a sense of secrecy, isolation, being too scared to speak up because of the stigma around the topic and being discriminated against. One in four women consider leaving their job when in menopause, yet, more and more menopausal women are in the workplace, so it is so important that we start talking about what is happening to them and find ways to assist them to fulfil their job roles. Women report that their greatest concern at work is their brain fog and inability to retain information, this leaves them fearing that they will lose their jobs and impacts their confidence. This is where my guest Thea O'Connor comes in. Thea's program 'menopause at work' focusses on helping organisation's become menopause-friendly through awareness, education and small workplace support. As a result, this can increase the engagement & retention of some of the work forces more experienced people. After all, it is a natural and temporary stage of life. It is up to all of us to start having more open conversations about menopause and to stop treating it as a joke or as a medical condition. I loved this conversation and I hope that you do as well, please let us know what you thought by leaving a review.

On this week's episode of Menopause Conversations we revisit a previous episode (previously the Wise Women Conversations Podcast), and look at what happens to relationships as you move through your menopause years.For some women it is a time of new beginnings, for others it is a time of endings, and some may find relationships challenging so in this episode I chat with Couples Counsellor Iman Iskander to talk through all of this.Iman shares the different stages a relationship goes through and what happens if we happen to get stuck at a particular stage of relationship development. We also talk about women who “stay for the kids” and what happens once their kids are older and no longer dependent on them.Relationships with one person for a lifetime can be hard, but are we really supposed to be with the same person for our entire adult life? This is the question that I ask Iman and she shares different research studies that show whether this is a good thing or not. This leads to a conversation about different cultures and how they see relationships and the role of women.This was a great conversation and I am grateful to Iman for sharing her expertise in this episode, it certainly got me thinking about my relationship. Will I be looking to move to the country and setup a community of only women? Only time will tell, but I do already have the farm in the country!!!If you would like to learn more about the work that Iman does you can visit her website or follow her on Facebook @Culture of Care - AUWant to learn more about the menopause transition?
