2024 and The Changes in Conversations Around Menopause

Season 4 · Episode 186

Monday, December 9, 2024 • Duration 34:48

This year has marked a significant shift in how menopause is perceived and discussed, both globally and in our region. We've witnessed a great move towards openness and support.

In Australia we have seen a Senate inquiry into perimenopause and menopause, resulting in 25 recommendations aimed at better supporting women. In New Zealand, we’ve seen organisations like Gender at Work being instrumental in promoting menopause awareness and celebrating World Menopause Day on October 18, 2024, with resources designed to smash stigma and highlight support options.

Globally, high-profile women like Michelle Obama, Naomi Watts, Halle Berry & more, have been candid about their menopause journeys, further normalising the conversation and advocating for increased research and education on menopause.

In addition to this, we talk through some other key highlights including:

Menopause-inclusive workplace initiatives in New Zealand and beyond.
Breakthrough research on hormone therapy and its impact on health.
Lifestyle Implications and the role of active lifestyles in managing menopause symptoms.
Personal wins, challenges, and reflections from our host, including the success of the embrace Program.
The M Factor Movie.
A couple of great books to explore to support your menopause transition & symptoms.

As we wrap up the year, I encourage you to reflect on your wins and lessons learned. We tend to focus on what we didn’t achieve or what went wrong, but let’s focus on what you did do really well, what lessons you learned even if through challenging times and what has this led you to do differently?

What are you ready to leave behind in 2024, and what are your goals for 2025?

Join our community in the Menopause Conversations Facebook group. Here's to thriving in 2025 with even more progress in the Menopause transition space.

🎧 Listen now and celebrate the journey with us.

The Menopause Senate Inquiry with Sonya Lovell

Season 4 · Episode 185

Monday, December 2, 2024 • Duration 56:48

Were you aware of Australia's Senate inquiry into Menopause over the past few months?

If not, you're not alone.

In today’s episode of Menopause Conversations, I’m joined by Sonya Lovell, an advocate for challenging societal stigmas and taboos, and for promoting better education and resources for all people as they transition through menopause.

Sonya’s journey began at 47 when she experienced induced menopause due to breast cancer treatment. Feeling overwhelmed, unsupported, and under-educated about menopause, Sonya struggled to understand what was happening to her rapidly changing health.

Experiencing anxiety, mild depression, and a host of other physical symptoms, Sonya set off on a mission to understand everything she could about peri-menopause and menopause.

This has led her to recently presenting at the Senate inquiry into Peri-Menopause and Menopause, and she’s here to discuss:

What a Senate inquiry is and why it was necessary
What unfolded during the inquiry
Who participated, including people with lived experiences, health professionals, government bodies, University Representatives
The key recommendations and next steps

We also explore how every one of us can contribute to ensuring these recommendations are implemented—whether by writing to local and federal representatives or initiating conversations at schools, workplaces, and in our personal lives.

Menopause impacts everyone: over 50% of the population will directly experience the transition, and 100% will feel its ripple effects. By starting conversations and advocating for change, we can make a significant difference for the generations to come.

This inspiring & encouraging episode highlights the power of advocacy, education, and conversation in creating real change.

I encourage you to learn more about Sonya Lovell and what you can do to advocate for change by taking a look at these resources:

Ageing is an Attitude with Lynda Dyer

Season 4 · Episode 176

Wednesday, October 2, 2024 • Duration 40:30

In this week's episode of Menopause Conversations, I sit down with Lynda Dyer, an accomplished coach, speaker, and author of 11 best-selling books, as well as an NLP Master Trainer, to explore the mindset around aging. We live in a society that often glorifies youth, leaving many older women feeling invisible or unworthy. But is it solely society’s influence, or do our personal and family beliefs about aging play a role too?

Lynda, the author of Age is an Attitude, shares insights on how we can reshape our experience of growing older by changing our perspective on aging. She also dives into fascinating research by Dr. Mario Martinez, a clinical neuropsychologist, who examines how cultural beliefs impact our health and longevity.

Lynda's key takeaway? Let go of anything that no longer serves you as you embrace the journey of aging. For Lynda, 70 is the new 50.

To learn more about Lynda’s work or explore her books, visit https://lynda-dyer.com

Share your biggest takeaway from this conversation on Instagram or Facebook and feel free to tag me @angelacounsel. I’d love to hear how you're planning to shift your mindset around aging!

The 4 Stages of Menopause

Season 2 · Episode 86

Sunday, March 20, 2022 • Duration 10:55

Many women think that menopause is a single event that happens when in fact it is a time of transition. This transition can take up to 12 years (maybe even longer) to occur and for most women this transition generally starts in their early 40s. This is when hormones gradually start to shift, and some symptoms might start to occur. It is important to note that every woman’s transition is different, so ages and symptoms could vary.

If you have had a full hysterectomy or some cancer treatments then you will likely skip all four stages and go straight to post-menopause.

The 4 phases are as follows:

Phase 1 – Very early peri-menopause

Can start in late 30 to early 40s
Generally last between 2-5 years
Cycles can shorten to 21-26 days
Less progesterone
More oestrogen which can lead to heavier periods, increased period pain, migraines and sleep problems

Phase 2 – peri-menopause

Starts around mid 40s
Can last up to 5 years
Your cycle can start to become more irregular
Progesterone is lower, due to missed ovulation
Oestrogen is fluctuating up and down, and when it drops it goes lower than before this can trigger worse hot flushes

Phase 3 – late peri-menopause transition

This phase can last for up to 4 years
This is when you start to miss periods and have cycles that can last over 60 days (note – cycle is time between bleed)
Hot flushes and night sweats could get worse
Breast pain should ease
you might still have a couple of very heavy periods

Phase 4 – menopause transition

This is the time when you are waiting to see if your last period was really your last
This period is 12 months
Symptoms should start to ease as oestrogen levels stabilise at a lower level

Breaking the Gender Bias

Season 2 · Episode 84

Tuesday, March 8, 2022 • Duration 28:31

I am back after 12 months break with a re-vamped podcast. New name and new content. As I re-launch this podcast it is International Women's Day and the theme for this year is #breakthebias and I thought that I would talk about the bias that happens in healthcare and medical research. For too long women have been dismissed when it comes to what is considered complicated health problems. The terms hysteria, attention seeking and emotional are words that are often used when women speak to their Drs about the way that they feel especially when standard testing doesn't reveal anything significant. Unfortunately many Drs simply don't understand enough about women's hormones and particularly the changes that happen as women move through menopause. It is time for this bias to stop!

I am passionate about educating women about how their hormones work because I believe with knowledge comes power and when women have a better understanding of the changes that are happening in their body they can make more informed choices rather than relying on the limited knowledge of someone else.

If you want to continue this conversation why not join me in the Menopause Conversations facebook group where I share more information that will help you to navigate your menopause transition with ease.

Going AF wit Mitlè Southey

Monday, November 30, 2020 • Duration 55:06

When I first heard the term going AF, I wasn't sure what it meant until I asked Mitlè Southey to explain it to me. In this episode of Wise Women Conversations we chat about being alcohol free (AF), I am not sure why we need another label but here we are. Mitlè shares her journey with alcohol and how she got to the stage where she considers herself to be AF. I also don't drink alcohol, I stopped drinking it 2 years ago because I was sick of being in constant pain. Once I stopped the small amount of alcohol that I was drinking all of my body and muscle pain went away. I don't really miss the alcohol and I also don't miss the constant chatter in my head about whether I will drink or not on a night out, Mitlè talks about this in our conversation. Alcohol has serious impacts on our health and wellbeing, yet many women are reluctant to give it up. Society has taught us that we can turn to alcohol in the good times and the bad, in the happy times and the sad. Listen to this open conversation between Mitlè and me and make up you own mind about your relationship with alcohol. To learn more about the work Mitlè does visit her website - mitlesouthey.com or follow her on instragram - @mitlesouthey.
