  • Self-Perception, Confidence and Menopause - Jean's Journey

    Self-Perception, Confidence and Menopause - Jean's Journey
    May 21 2026

    I had such a meaningful conversation with Jean Leggett on the podcast.

    We spoke openly about confidence, self-perception, menopause, and how easy it can be for women to lose sight of themselves through different stages of life and career. What I loved most was how honest and human the conversation felt.

    Just two women talking candidly about growth, identity, and finding your voice again.

    The episode is now live S2 Ep7.

    Leadership and Menopause - Laura's Journey
    May 18 2026

    How many high-performing women are silently navigating menopause while still expected to lead at full capacity?

    In S2 Episode 6 of What the Pause?!, I sit down with Laura Kusto to talk about her menopause journey, identity, and what true leadership looks like when supporting women through this transition.

    Menopause is not just a personal issue. It is a workplace conversation.

    If leaders want stronger cultures, better retention, and healthier teams, emotional intelligence is no longer optional.

    Are organizations truly ready for this conversation?

  • Telehealth Menopause Care in Canada - Amalia's Perspective

    Telehealth Menopause Care in Canada - Amalia's Perspective
    May 11 2026

    Canadian women are paying private telehealth clinics for menopause care because the public healthcare system keeps failing them.

    Women wouldn’t be forced into paying hundreds or thousands out of pocket just to feel human again.

    This isn’t about attacking telehealth. It’s about asking why women have been left with this as their only realistic option.

    THAT'S SYSTEMIC BIAS.
