Mastering Menopause with Hope: A Success Story

Seven years ago, my guest described her life as feeling like it was "crumbling down." Today, she's here to share her incredible journey of overcoming those challenges and how she’s transformed her experiences into a successful business that helps others facing similar struggles. What could have affected her so deeply? It’s something that 13 million people in the UK and around 1.2 billion globally are currently experiencing, yet it remains somewhat of a taboo topic: perimenopause and menopause.

For this episode of Coaching Conversations, I talk to Angela, a fellow coach who is now dedicated to helping others through her coaching business.

Whether you are approaching menopause, currently navigating it, or supporting someone who is, this video is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Let’s break the silence and start a conversation about what menopause truly entails.
