Welcome to this week's episode where we continue our "grassroots" conversations with "everyday" women, who are opening up and sharing their own Peri Menopause story to help better educate other women and bring awareness to this pivotal time of life.
This week we welcome Michele Owen to our podcast. Michele is a mum to 3 adult children, a passionate change manager and a woman who has learnt about her life and self so much across her lifetime and now continues to grow and learn through this next phase of her life, being Peri Menopause.
Michele takes us on a reflective journey through her Peri Menopause experience as she shares the highs and lows of her symptoms, her desire to "fix" what she has been experiencing to then eventually accepting this phase of life. Michele openly talks about the ambiguity of Peri Menopause and her desire to understand what this phase means for her.
Michele shares a wonderful quote with us towards the end of our conversation "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want". We loved how this quote sums up beautifully Michele's personal story as well as how she comes into her power through learning. We also see how much this quote can bring every woman experiencing Menopause, a learning and growth perspective. There's no doubt, Menopause brings with it a set of challenges for all women in some way, but as you strive to manage and support yourself, you may not quite get what you want (in an outcome or improvement) but you do get an experience, a learning and an opportunity to use that learning for the rest of your life.
We know you will love this chat with Michele. If you do we would love to hear from you, will you leave us a review? Or please feel free to share our podcast with others in your life. We can all be a collective force for change and as we often say, no woman should be left behind.
Thanks for listening as always!
