  • Can Crystals and Reiki Actually Help With Menopause?

    Can Crystals and Reiki Actually Help With Menopause?
    2026/07/14
    In this episode, I sit down with Karen Tucker — author, menopause coach, keto enthusiast, jewellery maker, knitter, photographer, and proud self-described multipotentialite — for a wonderfully wide-ranging conversation that proves menopause support can come from the most unexpected places.We explore Karen's fascinating journey from holistic wellness student to newly qualified menopause coach, and how she has woven her love of mindset work, nutrition, and alternative therapies into a coaching programme that is entirely, authentically her own. Karen shares how a ketogenic lifestyle transformed her energy, focus, and creativity — and why she now champions it as part of her approach to midlife health.We talk about the power of community, the importance of niching, and why even an astrologer who initially dismissed menopause completely ended up pivoting her entire business after working with Karen. We also discuss the very real challenges women face in workplaces that are yet to take menopause seriously — and what's coming down the line legislatively that will change that.And if you've ever wondered whether crystals, chakras, or tarot cards have any place in a menopause coaching conversation… Karen makes a pretty compelling case.00:00 Introduction00:37 Karen's background as a writer — and childhood dreams that have quietly come true01:50 Crystal Companions: the book that teaches you how to use crystals, not just collect them06:12 What it means to be a multipotentialite — and why Karen wears it proudly09:13 The day job: eight years in hospital social care, and an early retirement on the horizon10:15 The road into menopause coaching — and how Lauren's story played a part13:03 What it means when your mum's entire description of her menopause is "terrible"15:20 Karen's experience on the Menopause Coach Diploma17:11 Key takeaways from the programme — and the joy of mutual coaching sessions18:06 How Karen adapted the Menopause Plan to make it her own19:17 Going keto in 2021: losing a stone and a half, running uphill voluntarily, and getting herself back21:00 The next learning adventures (chakra and tarot coaching, anyone?)22:42 Fast-forward to June 2027: what an ideal retirement day looks like23:55 Practice clients — including the astrologer who completely changed her business26:14 What the ILM Level 5 coaching qualification taught Karen about herself (and her family)29:30 What Karen loved most about the diploma experience31:50 The big dream: a country house, eco-homes, a farmstead, and a charitable foundation35:23 Closing thoughts and where to find KarenConnect with Karen:Website | www.embrace-coaching.orgBOOK:Crystal Companions by Karen Tucker Available on AmazonMeet your host Lauren ChirenLauren Chiren is a leading voice in menopause awareness and workplace inclusion, dedicated to ensuring no one navigates menopause alone.As the Founder and CEO of Women of a Certain Stage, she works with organisations worldwide to create menopause-savvy and supportive environments.With a background in psychology, sports therapy, and nutrition, and an extensive suite of coaching certifications, Lauren is on a mission to train 20,000 Menopause Coaches and Champions, equipping them with the tools to support individuals and workplaces through this transformative life stage.Join her as she breaks the silence, challenges the stigma, and empowers people to thrive at midlife and beyond.About Women of a Certain StageWe are committed to transforming the menopause experience — both for individuals and the organisations that support them.Our mission is to empower people through education, advocacy, and expert-led training, ensuring menopause is no longer a barrier to confidence, health, or career success.Join us and our global network of professionals dedicated to breaking the stigma, improving workplace culture, and ensuring no one navigates menopause alone.Find out more here: https://www.womenofacertainstage.com/Connect with LaurenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenchiren/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themenopausecoach/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WomenOfACertainStageYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@womenofacertainstageTwitter/X: https://x.com/LaurenChiren

  • Her Doctor Shrugged and Left the Room

    Her Doctor Shrugged and Left the Room
    2026/07/07
    In this episode, Lauren sits down with Cherie, a biologist-turned-culvert inspector-turned-menopause coach, for a candid and deeply inspiring conversation about what happens when the medical system fails you — and what you do next.Cherie spent six years visiting specialist after specialist, only to be dismissed because her tests came back normal. She knew something was wrong, but no one could name it. That experience of being unheard, undiagnosed, and left to figure it out alone became the fuel for a complete career pivot — and a mission to make sure other women never feel that way.We explore how Cherie went from inspecting bridges under New York State's roads to building a business dedicated to menopause education and coaching. We talk about the gap between having personal knowledge and having the professional tools to truly help others, why certification matters in a space flooded with misinformation, and how the right coaching program can create life changes you never thought possible — including giving up the coffee and wine that bookended her days.We also dig into why cultural change around menopause can't happen by only talking to women who are experiencing it. Families, partners, and employers all have a role to play — and Cherie is already planning how to reach them.And if you've ever wondered what "whine nights" have to do with menopause coaching… listen in.Timestamps00:00 Introduction01:25 Cherie's Unusual Career: Culverts, Biology & Life on the Road04:11 Six Years, Six Specialists & Being Dismissed by the Medical System05:23 Finding the Right Coaching Certification — and Why Others Fell Short06:47 What Drew Cherie to Women of a Certain Stage08:10 Reflecting on the Diploma: Key Takeaways09:17 The Power of Community and Classmate Camaraderie10:19 Trusting the Coaching Process11:12 Life Changes She Never Expected — Coffee, Wine & Baby Steps13:12 Expert Access and the Value of Asking Deeper Questions14:25 What's Next: Website, YMCA Talks & Whine Nights17:34 Who Cherie Wants to Help Most18:54 Group Coaching, One-on-One & Working with Corporations and Families19:39 Why Menopause Is Everyone's Business — Partners, Families & Employers20:33 Closing Reflections & Words of GratitudeConnect with Cheriehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cherie-fetterman-86514541/ Meet your host Lauren ChirenLauren Chiren is a leading voice in menopause awareness and workplace inclusion, dedicated to ensuring no one navigates menopause alone.As the Founder and CEO of Women of a Certain Stage, she works with organisations worldwide to create menopause-savvy and supportive environments.With a background in psychology, sports therapy, and nutrition, and an extensive suite of coaching certifications, Lauren is on a mission to train 20,000 Menopause Coaches and Champions, equipping them with the tools to support individuals and workplaces through this transformative life stage.Join her as she breaks the silence, challenges the stigma, and empowers people to thrive at midlife and beyond.About Women of a Certain StageWe are committed to transforming the menopause experience — both for individuals and the organisations that support them.Our mission is to empower people through education, advocacy, and expert-led training, ensuring menopause is no longer a barrier to confidence, health, or career success.Find out more: https://www.womenofacertainstage.com/Connect with LaurenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenchiren/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themenopausecoach/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WomenOfACertainStage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@womenofacertainstage Twitter/X: https://x.com/LaurenChiren

    She Left 18 Years in Luxury Business to Become a Menopause Coach.
    2026/06/30
    In this episode, Lauren sits down with Letizia, a multilingual sales and marketing executive who spent 18 years at the top of the luxury goods industry — before menopause, burnout, and a moment of radical honesty changed everything.Letizia shares her deeply personal journey from a high-pressure corporate career to becoming a certified Menopause Coach, unpacking how years of unrecognised perimenopause symptoms — from brain fog and sleep disruption to anxiety she never even identified as anxiety — quietly eroded her performance, her confidence, and ultimately her career.Together, Lauren and Letizia explore the dangerous silence that surrounds menopause in the workplace, even in large, progressive multinationals with strong wellbeing and diversity policies. They discuss why Southern Europe is lagging behind in the menopause conversation, how women can be empowered to advocate for themselves with their doctors, and why the beauty and cosmetics industry represents a massive untapped opportunity for menopause awareness.Letizia also reflects candidly on her experience going through the Women of a Certain Stage Menopause Coach Diploma — what surprised her, what transformed her, and why she'd do it all again. And in a moment of real-life resilience, she shares how she's been recovering from a broken ankle and kneecap — and still showing up.Timestamps00:00 Introduction00:37 Meet Letizia — Languages, Background & Career02:38 What Brought Her to Coaching03:48 The Peak of Her Career — and Her Menopause Symptoms06:45 Burnout, Brain Fog & Mistaking Menopause for ADHD07:59 The Decision to Leave Her Job08:43 The Sabbatical That Changed Everything10:13 Going Down the Rabbit Hole — Discovering Menopause Education11:28 Finding Women of a Certain Stage13:20 The Discovery Call That Wasn't a Sales Call16:17 Inside the Menopause Coach Diploma — The Cohort Experience19:42 What Made the Programme Stand Out23:35 Advocacy in the Workplace — The Missing Conversation25:18 The Menopause Gap in Italy and Southern Europe34:22 What Menopause Coaches Can and Can't Do — and Why It Matters35:05 Empowering Women to Talk to Their Doctors36:29 A Hospital Stay with No One Asking About Menopause41:19 Where Letizia Is Headed NextConnect with Letiziahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/letiziamontani/ Meet your host, Lauren ChirenLauren Chiren is a leading voice in menopause awareness and workplace inclusion, dedicated to ensuring no one navigates menopause alone.As the Founder and CEO of Women of a Certain Stage, she works with organisations worldwide to create menopause-savvy and supportive environments.With a background in psychology, sports therapy, and nutrition, and an extensive suite of coaching certifications, Lauren is on a mission to train 20,000 Menopause Coaches and Champions, equipping them with the tools to support individuals and workplaces through this transformative life stage.Join her as she breaks the silence, challenges the stigma, and empowers people to thrive at midlife and beyond.About Women of a Certain StageWe are committed to transforming the menopause experience — both for individuals and the organisations that support them.Our mission is to empower people through education, advocacy, and expert-led training, ensuring menopause is no longer a barrier to confidence, health, or career success.Join us and our global network of professionals dedicated to breaking the stigma, improving workplace culture, and ensuring no one navigates menopause alone.Find out more: https://www.womenofacertainstage.com/Connect with LaurenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenchiren/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themenopausecoach/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WomenOfACertainStageYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@womenofacertainstageTwitter/X: https://x.com/LaurenChiren
