SPECIAL EPISODE: Guiding Women Through the Fire of Menopause with Dr. Fiona Lovely

✨In this special bonus episode of the Not Your Mother's Menopause podcast, I share my own story of becoming a menopause coach for women. For 20 years, I've walked beside women in midlife — through the confusion, the hot flashes, the anxiety, the sleepless nights, and the deep questioning of "what is happening to me?" I share the surprising (and unexpected) story of the very first patient I helped and how it lit a fire in me that burns bright to this day! 💎

In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how I came to this work, why I call my students Menopause Doulas, and why this moment in women's health matters so profoundly.

We'll talk about what perimenopause really is — not a blip, not a hormonal hiccup, but a whole-body renovation — and how understanding this changes everything.

If you've ever felt the quiet tug to guide other women through the fire, to bring care, compassion, and clarity to a time when so many feel lost — this episode is for you.

📚 In this episode:

• The story that changed my clinical path forever

• Why perimenopause is a renovation, not a decline

• The 8 areas of health that are critical to menopause wellness

• What it means to be a guide for women with both science and soul

• How to become part of a growing community of Menopause Doulas

Our Favourite quote from the episode:

"You're not broken. You're renovating. And that change deserves support."
