Amanda shares her frustration with the outdated beliefs and dismissive attitudes she encountered from healthcare professionals. She emphasizes the importance of education and awareness about menopause and the need for better support and resources for women going through this transition. The conversation revolves around the misinformation and confusion surrounding menopause and hormone therapy. The lack of mandatory training for doctors and the absence of intergenerational conversations have created a knowledge gap. Women are left feeling lost and vulnerable, while some medical professionals and coaches take advantage of this situation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of supporting women through their menopause journey and providing accurate information. It also highlights the need to focus on lifestyle interventions, such as exercise and nutrition, alongside hormone therapy. The chapter titles could include 'The Knowledge Gap in Menopause Care', 'The Influence of Celebrity Doctors and Coaches', and 'The Importance of Supporting Women and Sticking to Basics'. In this part of the conversation, Amanda and Aram discuss how to shift the conversation around women in midlife and focus on how they feel and show up in the world, rather than their appearance. Amanda shares her personal experience of feeling unhappy with her body during perimenopause and how she took steps to redefine herself and prioritize her well-being. They also discuss the importance of accepting and adjusting to the changes that come with menopause, as well as the role of strength training in building confidence and feeling capable. Amanda provides resources for finding knowledgeable healthcare practitioners and emphasizes the importance of community and open conversations about menopause.

This week we have Joanna Eisele, a college professor with a Doctorate in Sociology and studies/teaches social inequality including racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. as well as a Crossfit Coach!  Aram blew up the internet this past week and had hundreds (nearly a thousand) comments/messages about how he shouldn't use certain terminology when referring to women.  You may be surprised when you hear the story, but this is a great conversation to have to create awareness around the way we talk and how people perceive it.  WIth this, you can decide if you want to change the way you talk or not.  Are we responsible for others feelings?  Do we care?  How can we be better?  Should we?  When should we?  Listen and maybe learn.

This is part 2 of our conversation with Ed Nissen.  Here is a little about what Ed does from his website:

I am an executive coach, but you may consider me a “Purpose Coach” because I specialize in empowering people to be the ultimate version of themselves by having a deepened sense of purpose, which allows us to carry out the most meaningful professional roles. I do this by simplifying the approach to life’s obstacles based on a model that teaches people how to respond to such obstacles efficiently and confidently. More specifically, this approach involves understanding your personality and optimizing the way you make meaning in your life. This will enable you to shift your focus to maximizing your potential in all aspects of your life.

I also happen to be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and my clinical experience gives me a unique perspective on the human experience. As I teach you my approach, not only will you become skilled in overcoming professional and personal challenges, you will refine yourself in ways that transform your life and enable you to reach your potential.
