⭐️Personal share time! Becoming a women’s health at midlife expert was not on my dance card. But I was called up to serve and I was ready. 🌹 I was barely 30 when the first woman showed up for menopause help, my knowledge then was textbook. 20+years later add in my own perimenopause, thousands of women helped, nearly 3 million downloads of the NYMM podcast, and the enlightenment of the lived experience and here we are. If you have ever felt called to help, register to join me at my upcoming info sessions on how (and why!) you might want to become a Menopause Doula. It is the MOST rewarding work.
