Grief can be a tough emotion to process, but it’s something all of us will experience at some point in our lives. Grief often follows a major life shift, like the loss of a loved one, job change, relationship change, or health challenge - experiences especially common in midlife.It can be tempting to suppress these uncomfortable emotions, stuff them down and sweep them under the rug.

Through her experiences, she shares powerful practical advice for emotional healing, channeling love and emotions into positive actions, and finding the silver linings in even the most devastating circumstances. “Feel all your feelings. Grief is normal, it's natural. And it's necessary that we feel grief when we lose someone or something that's important to us.” -Amy Lindner-LesserHighlights15:57 Importance of feeling all emotions19:55 Grieving life transitions24:07 How adversity promotes personal growth and resilience27:29 Power of action-based responses to griefAmy Lindner-Lesser is a Grief Recovery Method™️ Specialist, Certified Life Transitions Coach, and MSW, who supports women through the emotions of loss and grief that arise with major life transitions.

One huge reason there’s such a leadership gap between men and women in senior positions is that women leave the workforce at a higher rate than men at different stages of their careers.Like during their childbearing years or when taking a leave of absence to care for an ailing family member.But did you know one in ten women leaves the workforce at the peak of their skill, wisdom, and experience, due to unsupported menopause symptoms? And it’s costing companies billions.A study in Canada showed an annual impact of $3.5 billion on the economy from women in their menopausal years leaving the workforce and taking with them all the education, training, and experience companies have invested in them over the years. In the US, the cost is even higher.During this phase of life, women are dealing with unique physical and emotional challenges - like fatigue, memory loss, irritability, hot flashes, headaches, and anxiety - that are completely unrecognized and unsupported in the corporate world.My guest on this episode is Lisa Boate, founder of Liberated Menopause Consulting. She has made it her mission to support menopausal women to remain in the workforce through creating “Menopause-Empowered Workplaces.”She works with companies and individuals to create awareness around this issue and to implement policies for providing specific health and wellness benefits, flexible working conditions, and more environmental control, so women can continue doing the work they love and are so good at.Highlights Timings:[10:07] Why women are leaving the workforce during menopause[12:50] How menopausal symptoms impact work and family life[20:34] Why there are fewer women in leadership roles[25:51] Creating a work-life balance for women in menopauseGuest Bio:Lisa Boate, Certified Menopause Coach and Founder of Liberated Menopause Consulting and Coaching, is a passionate advocate for creating Menopause Empowered Workplaces.

Your body is always sending you signals, but so many of us have become disconnected due to stress, busyness, and thinking we have to do it all. We’ve conditioned ourselves to ignore the body’s messages, like headaches, pain, and mood changes. We even tune out hunger and thirst in an effort to power through our never ending to-do list.But these symptoms are a signal that something isn’t quite right. It’s a “check engine” light from our body.My guest on this episode, Thalia Pellegrini, nutritional therapist and former BBC journalist, shares her wisdom on decoding the underlying causes of symptoms that can occur around perimenopause and menopause and how to address the root causes.Highlights Timings:[04:47] Perimenopause hormone fluctuations[10:48] What period pain could mean[20:29] The importance of supporting your liver[28:19] Menopausal changes and prioritizing self-careGuest Bio:Thalia Pelligrini is a Registered Nutritional Therapist, with degrees from Cambridge University and the Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London.
