In this episode of the Women of a Certain Stage Podcast, host Lauren Chiren welcomes Amanda Carlile, formerly a senior leader in Australia’s women’s empowerment sector and now a certified menopause coach, who’s blending menopause training and one-to-one coaching to transform workplaces and individual lives.

After her own perimenopause challenges nearly derailed her worklife, Amanda came home to the UK, completed the Women of a Certain Stage and CPD Certified Menopause Coach Diploma, and launched a thriving practice in southwest London.

Amanda shares how she first sparked menopause conversations in her corporate life and now delivers bespoke workplace coaching programs and women’s wellness retreats.

Amanda’s journey offers practical insights and actionable steps.

Key Takeaways

1. Start Menopause Talks Early: Normalise perimenopause conversations and educate young teams so everyone understands the transition.
2. Leverage Coaching Frameworks: Use the Women of a Certain Stage structured “Menopause Plan” coaching model to guide clients through hydration, movement, mindset, and self-care, yielding measurable breakthroughs.
3. Blend Group & One-to-One Support: Combine intimate one-to-one coaching for deep work with scalable group programs, Amanda’s 8-week cohort model is a prime example.
4. Expand With Toolkits & Retreats: Reinforce learning with downloadable menopause toolkits, interactive cooking-for-wellness workshops, and immersive retreats that marry nutrition, movement, and community.
