If you’ve ever wondered how I went from a 20-year corporate career to becoming a menopause health coach—and why I’m so fired up about helping women in their StrongHER Era—this episode tells the whole story.

🎙️ StrongHER Voices is the empowering podcast helping women navigate their StrongHER Era with clarity, confidence, and the honest, expert-backed support they deserve.

Hosted by Ashley Basilio — certified menopause health coach, fitness professional, and women’s wellness advocate.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ My nontraditional path—from engineering and corporate life to fitness and coaching.

✅ The moment teaching dance aerobics changed everything and sparked my passion for women’s wellness.

✅ Why the pandemic became the catalyst for leaving corporate life and stepping into purpose.

✅ My confusing, dismissed entry into perimenopause—and the doctor’s reaction that lit a fire in me.

✅ How that experience led me to become a certified Menopause Health Coach and create StrongHER Together.

✅ The mission behind this podcast: giving women clarity, confidence, and a community that actually gets it.
