Today’s conversation goes deep into what really happens when women finally step into a menopause support space, the privacy they protect fiercely, the relief they feel when they discover they’re not alone, and the hunger for real, accessible care. Guiding this exploration is Angela MacGregor, the powerhouse founder of the National Menopause Show. Angela is rewriting the script on how Canada talks about menopause: bold, future-focused, and grounded in evidence and humanity. Together, we unpack why so many women show up to these sessions quietly and alone, why access to informed care still feels out of reach, and how normalization and community are slowly breaking decades of stigma. Angela brings her signature clarity and courage as we explore what it truly means to elevate menopause from a whispered topic to a national priority,  one honest conversation at a time. What You’ll Hear in This Episode Why privacy is a top reason women attend menopause sessions solo The massive access gap in menopause care — and how it impacts real lives The moment of “Oh… it’s not just me” that shifts everything How stigma dissolves when menopause becomes a normalized, public conversation The cultural shift Angela is championing through the National Menopause Show Key Takeaways Women often seek menopause support alone for privacy Access to menopause-informed care remains limited Shared experiences bring relief, connection, and validation Every menopause journey is unique — and deserves respect Education empowers women, providers, and workplaces Larger cultural conversations are changing fast Safe, stigma-free spaces are essential for women’s health and confidence Chapters: 00:00:00 -  Introduction to Angela MacGregor  00:03:00 - The National Menopause Show’s Impact 00:09:00 - Challenges Women Face During Menopause 00:15:00 - The Importance of Community and Education 00:21:00  - Advocacy and Support from Healthcare Providers Let’s Stay Connected: Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Got questions or feedback?

In this powerful and informative episode, Lisa is joined by nurse and menopause health coach Amanda Otterman to unpack the realities of perimenopause and menopause. Amanda shares her deeply personal health journey—from adenomyosis to hysterectomy—and how it led her to become a passionate advocate for women’s health. Together, they explore the lack of education, the stigma around hormone therapy, and why vaginal estrogen is more than just a “nice to have.” They dive into what it really means to support women through midlife, how men can better understand and show up during this transition, and why community connection and honest conversations matter now more than ever. ✨ Key Takeaways: Amanda’s journey began with adenomyosis and resulted in a hysterectomy. Many women are left in the dark about perimenopause and menopause. Community education and workshops are essential for empowerment. Men need education too—so they can support the women in their lives. Midlife can be overwhelming; support systems are everything. Hysterectomies often create confusion around menopause symptoms. Vaginal estrogen is an underused tool that can improve quality of life. Hormone therapy advocacy is still deeply needed. A holistic, collaborative approach to women’s health changes everything.

Welcome to a very special episode of Transforming 45! Today, I find myself in a completely different setting because I'm joined by the incredible Trish Beasley, a brilliant photographer embarking on a unique project called 40 Over 40. This project involves capturing the essence of women in their 40s and beyond, celebrating their strength, resilience, and individuality. I had the pleasure of meeting Trish earlier today to discuss my involvement in this inspiring initiative, and we decided to record this episode on the go, marking the debut of Transforming 45 on the Road! Trish's passion for empowering women is evident in her work. She believes fiercely in equality, advocating for women's rights and standing against any form of discrimination. Trish's journey as a photographer has been a gradual evolution fueled by her deep-seated belief in the power and beauty of women. During the challenging times of COVID-19, Trish recognized a growing need among women. Many found themselves confined to their homes, juggling multiple roles without a break. This realization birthed the idea of 40 Over 40. It became a platform for women to reclaim their identities, to reconnect with who they are beyond their roles as mothers, partners, or professionals. In this episode, we delve into Trish's inspiring journey, exploring her passion for women's empowerment and her vision behind 40 Over 40. We discuss the transformative power of photography, the ability to capture the essence of a person, and how this project is becoming a beacon of strength and self-discovery for many women. Join us as we celebrate the uniqueness of every woman and explore how photography can be a transformative tool in the journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Get ready for an episode filled with inspiration, empowerment, and the celebration of womanhood.

The idea for this episode came through on the weekend and has been very noisy. It wouldn't leave me alone until I sat down and began the creative process. It truly became a process, a somatic experience of sensory memories that come flooding into my body in powerful ways. I explain my process and then tell the story that accompanies each of the 15 songs. If you know me, it is highly likely that you will hear a memory that also belongs to you. If you don't know me, I'm sure you will also hear some of your own experience. Please let me know how you relate to these songs and what memories they bring up for you. My invitation is to engage in this process, what songs are on your soundtrack? How does listening to those songs with intention of revisiting those moments allow yourself access to sensory experiences you have been numb to?

I am grateful for this deep dive into the heart, with Life Cycle Celebrant and Metaphysical Minister Jessie Brandon. Today I was feeling wrung out after a morning of intense and necessary learning. Through the learning I realized that even though I thought I was showing up as my full self, I have continued to hide behind the carefully crafted shell I have created around the most vulnerable part of my soul. This conversation was medicine for the part of me that continues to abandon the truth of who I am. The deep knowing that I am spirit, that connection with energy and source is real and that is the beating heart of my identity. Trigger warning - there is discussion of personal experiences of sexual violence. Take a listen to this conversation with an open heart and mind. It shifted something in my, I hope you can feel your own shift through these words. Thank you Jessie, I'm grateful for this connection.

When I came up from recording this episode, my Cardinal was in my window. This will make perfect sense once you listen. This episode is a very personal exploration of the complexity of grief and how it can evoke multiple emotions and perspectives about the same experience.

I hope by diving into the multifaceted nature of my own grief journey, I can provide valuable insights and understanding for anyone who may be navigating their own grief journey or seeking to support others who are grieving.

This conversation goes to all the places. Daniela and I could have talked all day and I think this conversation captures the magic of what it means to be a curious human. I could have picked 100 different themes to highlight in this conversation but the transformative power of curiosity presents itself clearly through out this entire conversation. When we approach conversations, relationships, systems from the position of curiosity it allows up to detach our personal meaning and worth from the 'thing' which means we can look at it from different perspectives and learn, grow and change from those perspectives.

In this deeply insightful episode of Transforming 45, Lisa Boate sits down with Eric Collett, CEO of A Mind For All Seasons, to explore the intersection of brain health, curiosity, and midlife transformation. Together, they unpack how asking better questions leads to deeper understanding, and how honoring emotional intelligence can enhance both personal relationships and professional life. From the lingering impact of COVID-19 to the science behind hormones and cognition, this conversation is a compelling call to embrace curiosity and explore the possibilities of personalized medicine. If you’re navigating the complexities of midlife or simply interested in preserving cognitive vitality as you age, this episode is filled with meaningful takeaways. 🧠💬 Curiosity fuels growth, especially in midlife transitions. Asking better questions leads to breakthroughs. We are not our symptoms—our identity is deeper. Brain health is influenced by hormones and stress balance. Personalized medicine is the future of effective care. Midlife can be a transformative season—like metamorphosis. Emotional fluency is essential in healthy relationships. COVID was a pivot point for many, sparking reimagination. Support and listening matter more than solving. Health is deeply personal—what works for one doesn’t work for all.

Big week, big, big week! I’m shaking it up with a new mic and man in the studio! I thought it was only fitting that the first male to appear on Transforming 45 should be the one and only Ken Boate, my husband.  A real trend in conversations I’ve been having lately is, how challenging it can be to maintain a long term relationship and how to be together again when children are no longer the main focus of the relationship.  Ken and I are not marriage experts and we are not perfect (who wants to be perfect) but we have maintained a loving and healthy connection over 22 years of marriage. The conversation that unfolds starts with our love story and weaves its way to the keys we have discovered to staying connected and committed to our relationship.  Even after 22 years, I’m never tired of talking to this human and I even had a few ‘aha’ moments.  I hope you enjoy this conversation from the heart.  *Fact check, Walter Ostenak (The Polka King) is still alive, he is 87 years old.

I am grateful for this hour spent with Amanda Kirkland, she is a Personal Growth Coach who is at a similar place in growing her business that I am. It is always cathartic to have a conversation with someone who can relate to the challenges of entrepreneurship and also clearly talk about what we do! Amanda is open and vulnerable in sharing the harmful relationships she experienced and how those experiences served as a platform for growth and transformation. She left a career she had excelled at for 30 years to jump into the unknown and land in work that fills her heart and soul. In this episode, we examine what makes a harmful (toxic) relationship, some hallmarks of how those relationships can impact our own heart, soul and mind and what we can do to move through those relationships. This is a powerful episode that asks you to think deeply about the relationships, be they with friends, family, work, spaces or things. and discerning if they are healthy, functioning and and serving your highest good.

I have been looking forward to this conversation and it didn't disappoint. The magic is always found in the unexpected places, this conversation is full of unexpected magic. We meander through how the shift in our Mothering roles has created space for us to lean into who we really are, the really complex intersection or accepting who we are as we are and the empowering aspects of how we choose to present ourselves in the world. At the heart of this conversation is self love and allowing ourselves to embrace who we truly are despite the narrative we have woven to protect ourselves.  You can find Tina on Facebook - Tina's Beauty Corner As always, you can join my email list and download my free guide (3 Reasons Why you are Struggling with your Empty Nest) - lisa@leaninfindhome.ca --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lisa-boate/message Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a short and sweet episode inspired by International Women's Day. One of the most joyful things I get to do in my Coaching work is to facilitate a Healing and Visioning Circle. We met last night, March the 8th, International Women's Day, how perfect. We began the circle by saying the names of our ancestors and telling a little bit about their stories. As each person told the story of a woman who had come before them and how they had impacted their lives, this beautifully complex picture began to immerge that defied the generational stereotypes that create a paper doll history of women who were fascinating, strong, complex, powerful. Women have been defying the roles assigned to us forever. In this episode, I say the names of the women who's shoulders I stand on. I encourage you to say out loud the names of the women who helped forge your identity. Share their stories here. I can't wait to hear them.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lisa-boate/message Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This conversation surprised me in all the best ways. Yes, Laura is a Financial Planner but she is the opposite of what you expect when you think of a Financial Planner. She spontaneously leads us in a really powerful meditation to get connected with how we experience the flow of money. Have you ever done a meditation with a financial planner, this experience was deeply impactful.  Laura's approach to wealth development is unique, "With a belief in your own worthiness and proper education about your money and investments, you can grow your wealth abundantly and realize your dreams.  If this sounds like an episode you might want to skip, I challenge you to listen, I grantee you will leave with a new perspective, I sure did!!

This episode came straight from both of our hearts. I can't think of a better way to celebrate 10 episodes that with this brilliant human. This episode also marks the first time I recorded with another human live in the Transforming 45 studio, I can't express how much I loved this experience.  This is a wonderfully meandering conversation that moves from how we met and how that work experience bonded us in the most unexpected ways, to Amy opening her heart to let us into her Cancer story and the way she is healing and advocating her way through this journey, a journey that has become a mission. We talk about it all and one hour was not enough. I'm pretty sure there will be part two for this one.  Here are the resources Amy referenced in her learning around Menopause:  Book: The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism (Dr. Jen Gunter) Very comprehensive and empowering. https://drjengunter.com/the-menopause-manifesto/ Podcasts: Dr. Louise Newson Podcast (every episode focuses on some aspect of menopause) Available on all platforms; Apple link here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-dr-louise-newson-podcast/id1459614845 Menopause and Cancer Podcast (specific to menopause in cancer patients and survivors) https://www.healthywholeme.com/menopause-and-cancer-podcast/# As always you can find me: @lboate and leaninfindhome.ca I hope you love this one, let us know, connections with the listeners is the very best part.  Please like, subscribe and share, your support does so much to grow the Transforming 45 community. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lisa-boate/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Today you get just me. Fear and rejection have been my constant shadow companions for a long time. They are there hovering over my shoulder and I am learning to welcome them in, to let go of my resistance to them. I am learning to welcome them as valuable parts of myself.  This is a vulnerable look at the ways in which we reject ourselves to avoid external rejection, the harm that causes and how we can move to loving ourselves first, rather than rejecting our true self out of a deep desire for self protection.  I hope you can feel the love and care in this episode friends.

I am still vibrating with the energy of this conversation. I am grateful to Sara Rogers for weaving together the most beautiful words that captured my story and reflected my experiences of living in this female body. The theme running through this conversation is the power of language, it's ability to oppress and it's ability to liberate. Language holds weight, while it's something we read on a page, it's also a medium when we can feel in our bones when the rules are broken in ways that make room for intuition, magic, and truth.  I will be holding this conversation in my heart for a long time. Sara's words create beautiful containers for thinking, feeling and creating. This episode also feels like a celebration of the powerful voices who went before us. I'm grateful to truthtellers Azure Antoinette and Elizabeth Gilbert for seeing and valuing Sara's voice in the anthology Pivot and Pause. You both blazed the way for Sarah and I to express our truths. Also thank you @indigogirlsmusic for providing the music of my cells and showing me that words, poetry, music, create connection, love, hope and healing for a lifetime. I hope you all enjoy this time as much as we did!

This Episode is a joyful conversation with two of my Soul Sisters Deb Kunsch and Leah Getchell. Camp is a huge part of my story, I introduced this in my first episode. This episode dives into fun memories and it also is a love letter to the sacred space where we met, the power of the community we created every summer and how the seeds of the women we would become were planted then and continue to bloom in our lives to this day. One of the things we didn't talk about enough, was the power of female leadership. Gerry Adam, the Director of Camp Huron modeled for us every day how to be a strong, heart led leader who strives to lift people up while holding them accountable to the highest good of the community. I think I feel another episode brewing! Thank you to my chosen sisters who opened their hearts to this conversation. I hope you hear the joy and connection in every word.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lisa-boate/message Learn more about your ad choices.

This 45 minutes was time very well spent with Reiki Master, Spiritual Teacher, Self Love Advocate and Author, Vanessa Marie Dewsbury. In this conversation we examine how your way of being in the word evolves when you operate from a space of self love. There are a number of thoughts that will be living in my heart and mind as I process and integrate the power of their resonance.  We also talk about Vanessa's collection of Simple Journals and how the practices built through the journaling process can create space for healing.  To learn more about Vanessa check out her webpage: https://www.vanessamariedewsbury.com/ As always you can find me at: https://www.leaninfindhome.ca/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lisa-boate/message Learn more about your ad choices.

Wowza, this was an emotional roller coaster. Our identities are so tangled with the roles we play, especially the role of mother. This is my motherhood story, at least it's the story up to this point, there are many more chapters to be written.
