Body Smart’s Coach Natasha was thriving in her dream career until ‘perimenopause smacked her around the face’.
Her symptoms were so severe, her mental health plummeted and it got to the point Natasha felt she couldn’t even leave the house.
After learning to navigate it herself, Natasha is now leading the charge at Body Smart to empower mid-life women to take control of their own menopause journey. ‘You don’t have to just grin and bear it’ she told Stacey and me when she joined us on this week’s episode.
If you’re struggling through perimenopause or worried that it’s approaching, you should definitely listen-in.
And even if you’re not quite in that stage of life yet… Natasha shares priceless coaching tips throughout the episode, relevant to anyone wanting to get stronger and healthier than they’ve ever been before!
The team chat about:
😢 The debilitating anxiety and pelvic health issues Natasha experienced
🔮 Common menopause myths that give midlife women limiting beliefs
💊 The pros and cons of HRT and how to get the right treatment
🧑 Why you don’t need to ‘just get on with it’ like previous generations
💡 Practical steps & mindset tips to improve your symptoms & wellbeing
Plus, we talk about one little-known menopausal side-effect you can actually look forward to – a ‘devil-may-care’ attitude that can help you embrace life in a way you haven’t before and find a confidence you never thought you had – just like Natasha did 🙌
She’s proof that menopause doesn’t spell the beginning of the end, it can be an exciting new chapter!
