The Menopause Foundation of Canada: Women's Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey

Season 2 · Episode 21

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 • Duration 38:48

Each episode will share life stories and expert insight into women's health and your perimenopause and menopause journey.

This episode was recorded as part of Podcasthon 2025, a global initiative raising awareness for charities worldwide and inspiring millions of listeners to care, act, and make a difference.

For our contribution, we are dedicating this episode to The Menopause Foundation of Canada and are grateful to its President and Co-Founder, Janet Ko for sharing her story with us.

Like many women, Janet Ko was blindsided by perimenopause. Despite assurances from multiple medical professionals that she was quite healthy, she felt quite ill. So much so that her unmanaged symptoms negatively impacted her career trajectory and her quality of life. The injustice of this all-too-common experience is what prompted Janet to co-found The Menopause Foundation of Canada, sparking a national conversation and leading the charge with research and facts that society can no longer afford to ignore.

In This Episode:

Women should not accept poor health during menopause.
Menopause should be viewed as a health transition, not just an end to reproductive life.
Awareness and education about menopause are crucial for women and healthcare providers.
Creating menopause-inclusive workplaces can help retain talented women.
Access to menopause care is a human right, and yet women are still struggling with menopause.

Therapy: An Important Tool In Your Perimenopausal Toolkit with Stefanie Peachey

Season 2 · Episode 6

Wednesday, November 20, 2024 • Duration 43:20

Mikelle recently sat down with Stefanie Peachey, owner of Peachey Counselling to talk about the unique life challenges women face and why seeking professional help is not only okay, it’s really important. In some age groups, the proportion of women with a diagnosed mood disorder is almost twice that of men.

Women often experience significant stress balancing their multiple roles and when you add in hormonal changes, things can get overwhelming. And the all-too-common tactic of ‘just getting through it’ can be dangerous. Having a therapist help you understand and navigate this life phase can be life changing.

In this episode you’ll discover:

Why a therapist can be a very important tool in your perimenopausal toolkit
How anxiety can distort reality and requires cognitive reframing to manage effectively
Why building a support system is crucial for navigating life's challenges
Why therapy is a valuable resource for anyone, not just those in crisis

Regardless of your struggle, recognizing that you’re not alone and how and when to seek help, are universal first steps that every woman needs, and deserves, to understand.
