In this episode of the Seasonal Sisters Podcast, Janice Saunders welcomes Lauren Jones, founder of Mpowered Menopause, for an honest conversation about navigating menopause with confidence, knowledge, and self-advocacy. Together, they explore why women deserve better support, more research, and practical solutions for managing the physical and emotional changes that come with this season of life.
From the benefits of strength training and protecting bone health to tracking symptoms and finding the confidence to speak up with healthcare providers, Janice and Lauren share simple, actionable ways to prioritize your well-being. They also discuss the importance of reducing stress, staying connected with other women, and rejecting the belief that suffering through menopause is simply "part of getting older."
