Is menopause the end of your vitality—or the beginning of your most empowered chapter yet?

At age 57, Angela launched the first national event of its kind to combat stigma, educate women, and connect them with trusted, science-backed healthcare providers. From navigating her own perimenopause struggles to challenging a fragmented healthcare system, Angela shares how she transformed her frustration into a platform for personal growth, community, and lasting impact.
