Truth. Impact.

Turning lived experience into action that shifts conversations, systems and lives.

I’m not here to soften the edges of menopause or cancer - I’m here to expose the silence, challenge the systems and demand better.

My journey into this space is personal.

I was 47 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Treatment was life saving, but it came at a cost: immediate, intense, medically induced menopause.

There was no roadmap. No clear answers. And certainly no coordinated support.

It was a crash course in everything I didn’t know about women’s health.

Like thousands of other women, I was expected to just cope quietly.

I didn’t.

Today I’m a speaker, podcaster, and unapologetic advocate demanding equity for women’s midlife health - because the cost of silence is too high, and I’ve lived it.

My work is grounded in honesty, heart, and action. I don’t believe in sugar-coating. I believe in truth telling - because when we tell the truth, we open the door for others to do the same.

Through my podcast, Dear Menopause, I elevate raw, unfiltered stories and amplify the voices of those often dismissed or excluded.

I speak in workplaces, at conferences, and to policy makers - about the reality of menopause, the gaps in post-cancer care, and the urgent need to redesign systems that serve women like afterthoughts.

I bring a unique lens: lived experience backed by a decade in health and wellbeing, combined with a no-BS approach to leadership and communication.

I don’t just share stories, I use them to drive real change.

Because women in midlife aren’t invisible. We’re powerful - and we deserve better.
