We are stronger together. When we as women support women 👭, lift each other up, encourage each other, and celebrate one another, we are powerful. And this is especially true and needed in midlife. Many women I speak with feel alone, and even I felt alone when I hit perimenopause. Not only because of symptoms, but because of how it can affect all parts of our lives. ➡️In this episode I'm sharing the importance of supporting each other through midlife and menopause ❤️ ➡️I also share the challenges we may face in our female relationships 😣 ➡️And the magic that happens when we come together in sisterhood✨✨✨ Enjoy!

I'm thrilled to bring you this new episode! I get to interview Marie-Josée Bourassa, the founder of the Méno-Joie clinic here in Montreal. As you may already know, finding a good (let alone great 🙌) healthcare practitioner during the menopause transition can be tough. ➡️ I'm talking about someone who... will take the time to truly listen and take you seriously is educated and specialized in this crazy but natural transition offers you real solutions, choices and options when it comes to symptom relief I've mentioned this Montreal clinic before and it truly embodies all these aspects. And today, I get to ask Marie-Josée all about it, and also discuss other important topics like: 10:26 - Menopause healthcare in Quebec, including the petition to have the province cover the cost of bio-identical HRT 14:42 - When choosing HRT: Bio-identical (or body identical) hormones versus synthetic 20:18 - What you can do BESIDES HRT to manage your symptoms 29:08 - What you NEED to know before meeting with your healthcare provider, to get the relief you want I know you'll get a lot of great nuggets from the episode, whether you live here in Montreal, or abroad. Enjoy! Debbie P.S.

I love ❤️ sharing stories of women who have gone through transformation, proving that midlife can be just the beginning. And Kristine's story is just that. Kristine Darley-Kline, like many of us, went through a challenging divorce (although it happened during the pandemic and while being weaned off of anti-anxiety medication! 😳)... But she's come out the other side of it more enlightened☀️and fulfilled. ➡️➡️ Although devastated, she quickly found herself opening up to tremendous creativity and a calling to change the world. She surprised herself with a capacity for creativity and a confidence she didn't know she had. I hope you find inspiration in what Kristine has to share. And who knows, it may spark something deep inside you, too.💥 Enjoy the episode! Debbie P.S. Here's the YouTube link to the video version: https://youtu.be/0vj_xrkbu9M Kristine's bio: Kristine Darley-Kline is a writer and producer for film and television, a senior copywriter and a journalist who is experiencing a very creative phase in her life. It started by going through a divorce during the lockdown and weening off an anti-anxiety medication she’d been taking for 25+ years. These big changes led to being open to the world—and that’s meant discovering abilities she didn’t know she had. Not only did she film her first movie last year, she’s created her own film production company, written a book for a musical (with another one on the way), an animated TV series pilot, and an animated feature. Recently she’s been a guest on podcasts, performed standup comedy on open mic night at and she’s set to perform voiceover in her animated TV series.
