🎙 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 women’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.

World Menopause and Cancer Awareness Day. Here’s what I believe needs to change.

For many women, menopause after cancer isn’t a side note to treatment. It’s caused by it. It can arrive suddenly, hit hard, and come with almost no support.

⭐️ Informed consent at diagnosis. Before treatment starts, women should be told it may bring on menopause, what that could look like, and where to go for help.

⭐️ A proper handover. Care shouldn’t end at “see your GP.” GPs need the guidance and education to pick it up.

⭐️ Shared decision making as the standard. Every woman deserves a real conversation about her options, including HRT, with the reasoning explained. Not every diagnosis is an automatic no. The decision belongs to her, made with full information.

⭐️ Menopause after cancer in health professional training. Women shouldn’t have to educate their own clinicians.

Thank you Menopause And Cancer ✨ Support & Community for all the work you continue to do raising global awareness 🙏

It’s not that hard to share the most up to date, clinically recommended and evidence based information when you’re creating content for social media. Especially when you’ve recently received $8.4M in Government funding to “improve health outcomes for women” and your own CEO claims “Every woman, regardless of where she lives or her background, should be able to access quality health information at every stage of her life…”. I’d be interested to know why this information was posted when it doesn’t meet current guidelines.

Following the stunning announcement by AstraZeneca that Zoladex 3.6mg would be pulled from Australia, this morning they have made a U-Turn.

This comes after significant criticism from advocates, patients and a Change.org petition calling for urgent action gathered more than 42,000 signatures.

AstraZeneca has today announced it will supply Zoladex indefinitely to those whose doctors determine there are no other suitable treatments available. A massive win for patients. 👏 👏

🥱 If you’re exhausted, foggy, flat, and you’ve chalked it up to menopause, you might be right. You might also be dealing with sleep apnea but almost nobody is checking you for it.

Doctors are trained to look for loud snoring. Women don’t always present that way. So it gets missed, misdiagnosed, or brushed off as “just menopause”, and you keep white-knuckling through days on broken sleep.

If this sounds familiar, ask your GP for a referral to a sleep study. Don’t wait for them to bring it up first.

For six years, I was afraid of oestrogen. Because I was told my ER+ breast cancer meant HRT was never going to be an option. So I stopped asking, until the day I learned the evidence was far more nuanced than I had been told.

You also deserve an explanation, a discussion of the evidence, and a supportive and informed clinician willing to look at you and your whole picture. I wrote the article I wish I’d had been able to refer to back then.

Comment READ and I’ll send you the link.

Today I was stoked to be featured as one of six women in Sunday Life who are changing menopause care in Australia. And I’m genuinely so glad this cancer survivorship conversation is getting the recognition it deserves.

Breast cancer put me into medically induced menopause. No conversation was offered to prepare me for what that would actually mean and no plan was in place for what care I would need after treatment ended. I worked it out alone, the hard way and closing that gap in care is exactly why the support I offer today exists.

Getting to talk about that publicly, in a piece that treats menopause as worth serious coverage rather than a punchline, means so much. Thank you for including me Jane Rocca and thank you to everyone who’s trusted me with their own stories along the way.
