🎙 Speaker | Podcaster | Advocate | Workshop Facilitator | Cancer & Menopause Ambassador| Women’s Health Champion

I help women feel seen, heard, and supported through one of life’s biggest transitions: menopause. With lived experience of medically-induced menopause following a breast cancer diagnosis at 47, I bring real-life insight, empathy, and evidence-based conversations to the forefront of wo

men’s health. As the host the Dear Menopause podcast, I’ve spent 3+ years interviewing global and local experts, sharing lived experience stories, and sparking vital conversations. My background includes over a decade as a personal trainer and studio owner, 10+ years as a speaker and workshop facilitator, and a deep commitment to empowering women with knowledge, confidence, and community. Whether I'm speaking on stage, behind a podcast mic, or facilitating transformative group sessions, I advocate for better awareness, education, and support for women navigating menopause — especially those going through it as a result of cancer.

🎤 Available for speaking engagements, podcast interviews, brand partnerships, and collaborative projects focused on women’s health, menopause, and cancer survivorship.

Advocacy doesn’t always look like a placard or a protest.
Sometimes, it’s a woman in midlife, refusing to be quiet about the things we’re told to keep hidden.

When we speak from lived experience, we change conversations.
When we own our truth, we change systems.

This is advocacy. And I’m not done yet.

But someone, somewhere, is waiting for it.

Huge thank you to for such a fantastic conversation on the podcast!

We had a great chat about how I transformed personal trauma into radical impact by educating and inspiring audiences across workplaces, healthcare, and the media, as well as on my own podcast, .

And my work as an advocate helping to shift the conversation around menopause, cancer, and women’s health, especially for those of us in midlife who’ve been too often ignored.

There was a time I stayed silent.
About the night sweats. The fear. The menopause because of cancer. The anger.
Because as a younger woman raising her voice, I was told I was “too much.”

Turns out, my “too much” is exactly what someone else needed to hear.
Speaking up didn’t make me too much - it made me enough.
And it made me free.

🎤 Book me to speak — because women’s stories should be heard, not hidden.

“With lived experience as my anchor and an unapologetic voice, I turn taboo into truth, silence into strength, and lived trauma into radical, relatable impact.”

I’m not an expert in theory - I’m an expert in reality.

And in a world that too often dismisses women’s pain, stories like mine - and yours - are not just powerful. They’re necessary.

📕Provide evidence to influence better medical training, awareness, and patient-centred care�
📕Help shape future resources, advocacy, and support services for this often-overlooked community

The conversation around relationship shifts comes up often in my community.

🙋🏻‍♀️Why do so many relationships unravel during perimenopause and menopause?

🙋🏻‍♀️ Why now, when the kids might finally be older, careers more stable, and some kind of rhythm established?

In a recent podcast conversation with Psychologist Kirstin Bouse, we dove deep into this question.

Her insights, drawn from over 15 years of working with women, shed light on an increasingly difficult pattern to ignore.

Have you experienced a shift in your relationship during perimenopause or menopause?

I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below or share this with someone navigating similar waters.
