Episode 07 Part 2- 'Your One Wild & Precious Life' Featuring Dr Sonu Haikerwal

In this episode I had pleasure of sitting down with Dr Sonu Haikerwal who is the co-owner and founder of the successful Haan Health and the founder and owner of Kiran Wellness. Dr. Sonu's career spans over 20 years and across three continents, having worked as a medical doctor in Australia, the UK and India. Graduating from the prestigious AIIMS College in New Delhi, India, she completed her Physicians training in London and was a Practice partner in South West England before settling in Australia. As co-owner and founder of the successful Haan Health clinics, Dr Sonu has spent two decades as a General Practitioner and team leader, and over 15 years teaching medical students and GP Registrars. During the Covid pandemic, Dr Sonu successfully ran a Federal Government Respiratory Clinic, as team leader on the front line of infection control and vaccination. Her tireless dedication during this time, often seeing hundreds of patients a week, earned her a nomination as Australian of The Year award Gold Coast for 2022. As a teacher, Dr Sonu has spent over 15 years teaching medical students and GP Registrars. She is on the faculty of Bond University, Griffith University and General Practice Training Queensland. Dr. Sonu has travelled extensively to over 50 countries and draws on what she has learnt from many different cultures, alternative therapies and healing modalities from yoga to Ayurveda and spirituality. She marries this understanding of ancient healing teachings with thoroughly backed medical science to access the sweet spot at the cross roads of Eastern and Western medicine, to bring her clients true healing and long lasting change in their health and life.

Episode 06- 'Small Steps, Big Gains' Interview with Nat Evans from Menopause Health & Fitness

In this episode 'Small Steps, Big Gains' I had the pleasure of speaking with Nat Evans. Nat is a women's health and fitness coach who specialises in menopausal health and fitness. Nat has helped hundreds women change the way they do things and to thrive during menopause – her passion is to help women to feel & look amazing again & move better than they ever have! Nat is what they call in the industry -a habit change specialist and she definitely gets results. I absolutely loved listening to the lived, researched, and expert information and advice Nat had. Nat hit peri-menopause at 39. Nat knew how she felt wasn't right, but no-one was talking to 39-year-olds about MENOPAUSE or women's very specific Health & Fitness needs! So, she started researching her symptoms and searched for the right practitioner. Nat found her guide to living the fullest life imaginable beyond 40 and she had also found her calling as a Women's Health & Fitness Coach. For 15 years Nat Evans has helped hundreds women change the way they do things in a specific way, because as Nat says- A COOKIE-CUTTER EXERCISE & DIET PLAN DOES NOT CUT THE MUSTARD ONCE YOU ARE OVER 40!

Episode 04 - 'One in Five- Our Sisters' who are Childless not by Choice'

Today I'm talking with Judy Graham. She's the founder of WomenHood, where she provides specialist support for women who are childless not by choice. 20% of Australian women do not have children when they reach midlife, or the end of their reproductive years. For many women, not having children involves deep sadness, and can really rock their sense of identity and belonging. When society has such a strong emphasis on motherhood, women without children often say that their friendships and relationships are also impacted by their situation; that friends and family often don't really understand, and so they grieve their losses silently. If you're like me, and you're shocked to hear that 20% of women - our friends, colleagues and family members - don't have children and may be feeling isolated with their experience, then please listen in, because this is a conversation about women supporting women and making the invisible, visible. Please leave a review or direct message me with comments or suggestions. I would love to hear from you.

Episode 01 - 'Let's Talk About Menopause' Round Table Conversation

Menopause, by definition, is one point in a continuum of life stages for a woman and marks the end of their reproductive years and most women experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55 years of age (World Health Organisation). As midlife women, we know that the lived definition of menopause is a constant state of confusion about the peri-menopause stage and how long that lasts, the change in our bodies both internally and externally as well as the many debilitating symptoms that bombard us all at once. 'Let's Talk About Menopause' is the first of our Round Table Conversation episodes. So please join me, Lorena Connor, in my conversation with four wonderful midlife ladies who provide you with an insight to what their thoughts and experience have been so far on midlife and menopause.
