In this powerful and informative episode, Lisa is joined by nurse and menopause health coach Amanda Otterman to unpack the realities of perimenopause and menopause. Amanda shares her deeply personal health journey—from adenomyosis to hysterectomy—and how it led her to become a passionate advocate for women’s health. Together, they explore the lack of education, the stigma around hormone therapy, and why vaginal estrogen is more than just a “nice to have.” They dive into what it really means to support women through midlife, how men can better understand and show up during this transition, and why community connection and honest conversations matter now more than ever. ✨ Key Takeaways: Amanda’s journey began with adenomyosis and resulted in a hysterectomy. Many women are left in the dark about perimenopause and menopause. Community education and workshops are essential for empowerment.
