The Menopause Disruptor Podcast
Welcome to The Menopause Disruptor Podcast, formerly, All Things Menopausal! I’m your host, Mary Lee, a compassionate Menopause Doula and Licensed Menopause Champion in partnership with The Menopause Expert Group.
My mission is to challenge outdated narratives around menopause. Leaning into my own personal encounters with misogyny and a serious lack of reliable, current information surrounding hormone health, I realized there are far too many women being dismissed and outright ignored by healthcare professionals. This has to stop!
Menopause is a natural phase of life that deserves to be embraced, not stigmatized. In each episode, I tackle taboo topics and disrupt the status quo on how we think, act, and treat menopause - peri to post.
Join me in these informative conversations, either alone or with credible guest experts, as I dive into real, raw, and relatable discussions surrounding the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging. It’s time to reclaim our voices and advocate for our health with confidence.
Midlife should be the best life, and it will be!
