Menopause hmmm…. You cannot avoid it ladies, however, what you can do is start doing things now that will carry over into your transition through menopause to support you having the best experience possible.

It is often the case that we wait for things to happen before we “do something about it,” or make changes in our life to make a situation better.  Well here is some really good news… you know that menopause is something you will experience in your lifetime and you don’t have to wait to do things that will help you navigate this transition. 

In this podcast, Coach Tonya Fines and Samantha Harrison talk about what women can maybe expect as part of their menopause experience, and also what are some of the things women can start doing, even well before those “change of life” years, to support a better menopause experience. 

 

 

"You have a genetic blueprint, I have a genetic blueprint, your daughters have a genetic blueprint so while we are all going to experience menopause, how we experience it is going to be very different from one woman to the next…"

-Tonya Fines
