Episode 4: Is It All In Your Head?

In this episode of MedicAlert: Moments that Matter, Annie sits down with Paula Bradbrook, women's health advocate, menopause educator, and Founder of Your Menopause Doula, to explore the realities of perimenopause and menopause, women's health and why these conversations matter.For many women, perimenopause and menopause can bring unexpected physical, emotional, and cognitive changes, yet many still feel underprepared, unsupported, or unheard.Together, Annie and Paula discuss the signs and symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, the impact hormonal changes can have on relationships, careers, confidence, and identity, and why education, support, and open conversations are essential.Whether you're currently experiencing perimenopause or menopause, supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to better understand women's health on a broader level, this episode offers practical insights, reassurance, and a reminder that what you're experiencing is real, valid, and not "all in your head."Learn More & Stay ConnectedIf today's conversation made you think that MedicAlert could be helpful for you or someone you care about:MedicAlert Foundation AustraliaWebsite: https://www.medicalert.org.au/FAQs: https://www.medicalert.org.au/faqsPhone: 1800 88 22 22Email: enquiry@medicalert.org.auDonate: https://www.medicalert.org.au/donate?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Podcast&utm_campaign=26%27-Riverside-DonateGet in touch with the podcastEmail: marketing@medicalert.org.auFollow MedicAlert on Social MediaInstagram: @medicalert.auFacebook: MedicAlert Foundation AustraliaLinkedIn: MedicAlert Foundation AustraliaTik Tok: @medicalertauThis podcast is written, hosted, and produced by Anneliese Pittman, with support from MedicAlert Foundation Australia.Special thanks to Paula Bradbrook for joining us for Episode 4, Is It All In Your Head?To learn more about Paula:Your Menopause Doula: https://yourmenopausedoula.com.au/Midlife Advantage: https://www.midlifeadvantage.com.au/Her Health Hero: https://herhealthhero.com.au/Article: Why Supporting Women's Health Is Just Smart Business https://intheblack.cpaaustralia.com.au/people/why-supporting-womens-health-is-just-smart-businessKeep an eye out for Paula's upcoming mini-book, Leading Through the Change, designed to help women navigate midlife with greater confidence, knowledge and leadership.
