    Shifting conversations in society and workplaces, with Melanie White

In this episode, we are chatting with Melanie White again, who appeared in Episode 88 of the podcast.  Melanie is a passionate advocate for women’s health and wellbeing, dedicated to elevating the lives of women through compassion, connection, and collaboration. With a mission to transform how women experience and navigate their health journeys, Melanie focuses on driving better health, social, and economic outcomes for women at every stage of life. As peers and colleagues in the menopause space, we share a commitment to breaking the stigma surrounding women’s health and empowering women with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to thrive. And so, for today’s episode we thought we’d have a chat about what we have seen and experienced this year. Key Discussion Points COVID catalysed health and relationship awareness, with growing discussions around women's health issues like menopause and endometriosis. Generational shifts and innovations like apps, wearable tools, and workplace initiatives are empowering women to demand change, leading to more open conversations, empathy and activism around menopause. Overcoming dismissal in healthcare, with women often facing limited access to HRT and insufficient guidance on lifestyle changes, and Younger generations are valuing employers who prioritise health and well-being alongside financial benefits.   THE MENOVEST In partnership with Over The Bloody Moon, we have recently launched the MenoVest in Australia. Its Founder, Lesley Salem, was our guest on the podcast in Episode 135. You can find out more information about the MenoVest on our website.

    Menopause Inquiry Recommendations, with Senator Larissa Waters

    Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife. In this episode, we invited Senator Larissa Waters back to share in the response and recommendations following the Australian Senate Inquiry into Menopause. Reflecting on what was presented to the Senate, it highlights how vitally important this awareness is and how all of our collective power can be the change we want to see for us and for women following us.  For those who missed the first chat we had with Larissa, you can find that at Episode 126. Key Discussion Points There was rare cross-party consensus on the recommendations for women's health issues, including perimenopause and menopause. There are still significant gaps in education on women’s health, particularly by medical professionals. The report highlighted a significant lack of domestic data on menopause, workplace participation and access to treatments, and how this impacts policy design, and Why workplace rights and flexibility were central to the recommendations and could combat stigma and improve workplace equity.   THE MENOVEST In partnership with Over The Bloody Moon, we have recently launched the MenoVest in Australia.
