What do people really need to know about menopause - at home, at work, and in everyday life - when it’s still a topic many feel uncomfortable talking about?
In this episode of The Journey Node Real Talk, Thao sits down with Sally Sidani-Wilkinson (Registered Health Coach | Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner) and Claire Dreyer (Personal Performance Coach | Former CHANEL Leader) for an open and insightful conversation about menopause - breaking down what it actually is, what people experience during it, and why understanding it matters for individuals, workplaces, and communities.
From the early signs of perimenopause to the impact menopause can have on confidence, wellbeing, and professional life, this discussion aims to remove stigma and replace confusion with clarity. Claire and Sally also share personal insights and professional perspectives on how menopause can shape identity, performance, and wellbeing - and how organisations can create cultures where people feel supported rather than silenced.
This is a conversation about awareness, empathy, and real-life experience - helping people feel informed, supported, and empowered through a life transition that millions experience but few openly discuss.
