There were days when you'd wake up feeling anxious for no reason, wondering what's wrong with you. Turns out, it's menopause. During this life stage, anxiety creeps in as hormonal fluctuations stress your nervous system. But here's the good news: you can manage it. The key is reducing stress through science based practices like meditation. When you meditate, your brain takes complete control over your body, actively lowering cortisol and calming your nervous system. It's not woo-woo, it's neuroscience. By incorporating meditation into your daily routine along with focusing on the present moment and letting go of what you can't control, you can significantly reduce anxiety and take back your power during menopause.

What if the reason you're stuck in your career isn't about your performance, but about a gap in the leadership training women are given? In this episode, I sit down with Lori Lalonde, founder of Her Executive Ascent Inc., who spent three decades in tech before identifying a critical problem: women were being overloaded with operational work while missing the strategic skills needed to advance. Lori shares how she's helping women break through the messy middle of management and step into their power as executive leaders, plus she opens up about navigating perimenopause while climbing the corporate ladder and why it matters that we address both at the same time.

Join us as we explore the journey of Tafik Akhir, aka Mr. Menopause, who shares his mission to educate women and men about menopause, its symptoms, and the importance of support and understanding. Discover insights on hormone health, the role of men, and practical tips for navigating menopause with confidence.

Tafiq's journey began watching his own mother suffer through menopause in silence without support or answers. That experience sparked his mission to help women understand what's happening in their bodies so they can make informed, intentional decisions about their care. His book, Decoding The 80 Symptoms & Side Effects Of Menopause, emerged from witnessing countless women suffering with symptoms they didn't even realize were menopause related.
