If menopause has ever left you feeling confused, overwhelmed, or like you’re losing touch with yourself - this episode is for you.
I’m joined by the incredible Catherine O’Keeffe, Ireland’s first menopause coach and founder of Wellness Warrior, for a powerful and deeply relatable conversation. Catherine shares her personal experience with perimenopause, the misinformation she had to untangle, and how that journey led her to become a leading voice in menopause support.
We chat about the early warning signs, the emotional rollercoaster, and the real-life strategies every woman deserves to know - whether you’re in perimenopause or fully in the thick of menopause. We also discuss how workplaces can step up to support women better and why reframing menopause as a time of empowerment and renewal can be life-changing.
This is an honest, hope-filled episode that cuts through the confusion and delivers clarity, compassion, and confidence.
