   235: Perimenopause: Understanding Your Symptoms and Advocating for Your Health with Dr. Madison Healey

   What if the anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog or changes in your body aren't simply the result of a busy life? Perimenopause can look different for every woman, and too often, symptoms are dismissed as stress or something women simply have to accept. In this conversation, family physician and menopause specialist Dr. Madison Healey explains what women need to know about perimenopause, menopause treatment and protecting their health for the years ahead. This episode covers: - How to recognize perimenopause, including symptoms that can appear years before periods become irregular. - Why women are often dismissed when they raise concerns about changes in their health. - The connection between estrogen, muscle mass, bone density, cardiovascular health and long-term wellbeing. - Why strength training, nutrition and sleep deserve a place on your priority list. - What women should understand about hormone therapy, non-hormonal treatments and common misconceptions. - How to advocate for yourself when your doctor isn't addressing your symptoms. - What the research actually tells us about testosterone, brain fog and menopause treatment. Madison's message is clear: women don't have to accept feeling miserable simply because they're getting older. Understanding what's happening in your body, asking informed questions and finding a healthcare provider who will take your concerns seriously can make a meaningful difference. Your health today matters, but so does the strength, independence and quality of life you're building for the decades ahead.

   Don't Quit Your Day Job: Build a Career That Works for You, with Aliza Knox

   What if building a successful career isn't about climbing a straight ladder, but learning how to make choices that work for your life? Aliza Knox has spent four decades building an international career across consulting, financial services, and technology, including leadership roles at Google and Twitter. In this conversation with Stephanie Mitton, she shares what she's learned about taking career risks, navigating international moves with a family, building relationships that support your growth, and deciding when it's time to leave a job. This episode covers: How to weigh the opportunities and trade-offs of an international career move. Why adaptability and resilience matter when your career takes an unexpected turn. What corporate boards do, what the commitment involves, and how to approach your first opportunity. How to build a personal board of directors instead of relying on one mentor. The habits that build trust and prepare you for greater responsibility. How to use AI and emerging technology to increase your value at work. When to stay, when to make changes, and how to approach leaving a job thoughtfully. Aliza's advice is a reminder that you don't have to make every career change at once, and you don't need to have your whole future figured out before taking a step forward. Whether you're considering a new role, balancing ambition with family life, or wondering what comes next, this conversation offers practical ways to move forward with greater intention.
