Have you ever noticed how some of the biggest life changes end up leading to something far bigger than yourself?
This week, Michelle is joined by Rachel from Our Remedy, who after co-founding a healthy cafe, suddenly found herself facing serious health challenges that threatened to change everything.
After failing to find the support she needed, Rachel began to share her story with the world, and soon found an audience of likeminded women going through the same thing. In this episode, she talks about turning her pain into purpose, why women’s health still lacks real conversation, and how she built one of the UK’s most empowering wellness brands from the ground up.
Rachel Reveals
- How experiencing a hysterectomy at a young age can lead to early menopause, often with little information or support available.
- Why it’s vital to understand menopause and advocate for oneself in medical settings
- How building a community around shared experiences can provide invaluable support for women
- Why sharing personal stories can resonate with others and create a sense of belonging.
- There is a significant gap in knowledge regarding women’s health, particularly menopause.
- How many women are unaware of the symptoms and effects of menopause
- How nutrition and lifestyle choices play a vital role in managing menopause symptoms
BEST MOMENTS
“I really fought to not have a hysterectomy… I wanted to be healthy and well for my son.”
“The biggest gap is speaking to a doctor once and saying like, something’s not right.”
“I think we are completely entitled in the UK to ask for a second opinion, a third opinion, a fourth opinion.”
“I feel like I’m searching for answers to the problems I have.”
