I don’t know about your algorithm, but as for mine — everyone is talking about perimenopause. In my opinion, this wasn’t so much the case around 5 to 10 years ago. However, this natural stage of life is still clouded with some mystery, confusion, and lack of support.
Today, I am speaking with Adaugo Botchway, a Registered Nurse and Certified Health & Wellness Coach that specializes in perimenopause & hormonal shifts.
In today’s episode we discuss:
* Adaugo’s perimenopause journey
* Adaugo’s experience caring for women as a Registered Nurse & her transition to coaching women as founder of Rooted in Her Essence
* Developing the skill of body wisdom & awareness through personal health data to improve an individual’s agency while meeting with a doctor
About our guest:
Adaugo Botchway is the founder of Rooted in Her Essence Coaching where she assists women with navigating and decoding their body signals that occur during hormonal shifts. As a Registered Nurse, she spent over 25 years caring for women and families at all stages of life— from antepartum and postpartum units to newborn, pediatric, and nursing informatics care. Aduago holds a master of science in Nursing and is also a Certified Health & Wellness coach. She also served on the Board of the Junior League of Wilmington DE for two years and is currently serving as a member of the Delaware Valley Chapter of Mocha Moms.
I truly believe Adaugo’s story and nuggets of wisdom that she gained from her own mid life transformation will benefit others who are experiencing perimenopause. I hope you enjoy our conversation!
P.S.
As Adaugo and I talked, I thought about various plant allies that are very supportive to the perimenopause & menopause journey. The herb that stood out to me the most was Motherwort — a personal favorite of mine. I didn’t get into the details of motherwort in our episode, however I had a great conversation with fellow herbalist Erika Parker-Smith, a couple of seasons ago, about her own relationship to the plant and how it helped her navigate life transitions.
