In this episode, Laura Rowan, pelvic health occupational therapist and founder of Essential Pelvic Health, sits down with Edi Pasalis, founder of the Be Your Power menopause leadership program, to explore a powerful shift in perspective—what if menopause isn’t a breakdown, but a breakthrough?
Together, they unpack how menopause is not just a collection of symptoms, but a transformational stage of growth, self-awareness, and leadership evolution. From navigating physical changes to redefining identity and power in midlife, this conversation reframes menopause as an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, deepen your awareness, and lead from a more authentic place.
This episode is especially meaningful for high-achieving women who may feel challenged during this transition, offering a refreshing perspective: instead of fighting the body, what if we learned to listen, adapt, and grow with it? 💡
