We can't wait to take you on this powerful journey through each podcast episode. We are your hosts Lisa Saunders and Natalie Moore. We are two certified holistic health coaches passionate about empowering women to embrace their female physiology for greater whole health, wellbeing and vitality during this pivotal life stage.  Join us for our weekly podcasts where we will bring you learning, strategies, stories and new research for how you can tap into your power during Peri Menopause and beyond. iamnataliemoore.substack.com

We share our personal growth through this experience and our continued commitment to women's health education. Finally, we encourage our listeners to stay connected via other platforms and thank them for their support, emphasising that this is a pause rather than a permanent goodbye.
