Shifting Perspectives on Menopause with Stephanie Shaw

My Third Bloom

Our next guest is Stephanie Shaw, a renowned health and wellness expert, speaker, and host of the "Hello Hot Flash" podcast. She holds two holistic nutrition certifications and a master's degree in science from Northeastern University, equipping her with the knowledge and expertise to address the often taboo subject of menopause. Stephanie's perspective on this topic is shaped by her belief that there needs to be a shift in the conversations surrounding menopause, extending beyond just women who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal to include younger women. Drawing from her personal journey of overcoming a challenging two-year illness, she advocates for a change in the workplace, similar to trends she has observed in the UK, where organizations are beginning to address menopause and provide support for women in various job roles. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of changing the narrative and removing the shame and stigma associated with menopause, encouraging open and honest conversations about this natural phase of life.
