42. Self Advocacy and Community: A Conversation with Psychotherapist Natacha Pennycooke Perimenopology

    • Mental Health

Today I am sharing my conversation with my colleague Natacha Pennycooke. She is a psychotherapist who is doing amazing work and helping so many people in the process. I wanted to have her on the podcast to talk about self-advocacy - both from a medical perspective and a workplace perspective.

In this episode, we talk about


 Issues and common themes that can come up for people when they are advocating for themselves in a medical context and a workplace context.
 How to prepare for a medical appointment to get the outcome you are looking for
 What to do if you feel your doctor isn’t giving you what you need
 How to navigate perimenopause in the workplace through the lens of different intersecting identities
 Finding community
 Owning your worth

 

Natacha’s Professional Bio:

Not only is Natacha a mom, wife and lover of popcorn, but she is also an award winning psychotherapist, keynote speaker, workshop facilitator and corporate consultant. She is the clinical director of Natacha Pennycooke Psychotherapy (NPP), where her team of expert psychotherapists are changing the face of therapy and mental health on a global scale.

Natacha's team works from an anti-oppressive, healing focused, trauma informed, anti-racism lens and social justice framework.

She is currently offering corporate, leadership and organizational workshops on workplace mental wellness, inclusion & belongingness, creating an anti-racist environment, and supporting leadership equity.
