In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of talking, learning, and laughing (a lot!) with Raquel Riggle, founder of Menopalz. "As a certified menopause coach, health warrior, and founder, she suffered through a whirlwind of misdiagnoses (Celiac disease!) and perimenopause brain fog...and then she turned her experience into a mission. Menopalz is your warm, supportive space to navigate menopause with purpose, joy, and a dash of sass. Whether you're feeling confused, empowered, burnt out, or all of the above—this is your place to land, learn, laugh, and thrive." Raquel is a true source of wisdom for anyone moving through menopause or perimenopause. Follow @mymenopalz on Instagram Her story isn’t just about challenges—it’s about finding laughter, connection, and a sense of community in the midst of change. We dig into the everyday ups and downs of menopause, including 54+ symptoms that women may experience! Along the way, we swap stories, share honest moments, and even find the humor hiding beneath the surface. There’s something powerful about being able to laugh through hot flashes and mood swings, and realizing we’re all in this together. If you’re currently in the menopause or peri journey—or just want to understand it better—this episode promises real talk, support, and (importantly) some well-earned laughs. Here’s to facing change with community, hope, and a good sense of humor! MORE ABOUT MENOPALZ "Welcome to Menopalz, your midlife sanctuary for real talk, real tools, and real transformation. This isn't a one-size-fits-all program. This is a choose-what-you-need, when-you-need-it experience designed with real women in mind.
