  • Slow Living and Mental Health: Transforming Lives in Midlife and Beyond

    Slow Living and Mental Health: Transforming Lives in Midlife and Beyond
    2026/09/01

    In this episode, I sit down with licensed therapist and private practice owner Jennifer for a warm, wide-ranging conversation about menopause, mental health, and the power of slowing down. We talk about her path from solo counselor to running a practice with eight clinicians, and how the skills she built through the Menopause Coach Diploma helped shape that growth.

    Jennifer opens up about her own early menopause at 41, the isolation she felt before finding community, and how a COVID infection years later unexpectedly intensified her menopause symptoms. We dig into the mental health side of menopause that often gets overlooked — anxiety, identity shifts, and the pressure so many high-achieving women put on themselves — and why Jennifer now centers her work, and her own life, around slowing down.

    We also get into the practical side of running a private practice: referral sources, hiring her first VA, navigating US insurance and state licensure, and the ongoing challenge of keeping therapy chairs filled. And we talk about why a community — having a tribe that simply understands — can be just as healing as any clinical intervention.

    She Had ME/CFS and Perimenopause Hit at the Same Time
    2026/08/25
    In this episode, I sit down with Bridgette — known to everyone as Bee — for an honest, heartfelt, and deeply inspiring conversation about what happens when multiple sclerosis and perimenopause collide. Bee shares her remarkable journey from being completely bedbound to completing the Great North Run, and how lifestyle changes, community, and a refusal to give up transformed her life.We unpack the frustration of being told "you're too young" for perimenopause while already managing an MS diagnosis, and why the medical system so often fails women when two complex conditions overlap. We explore how nutrition, movement, hydration, and self-compassion became Bee's most powerful tools — and why consistency beat intensity every single time.We also talk about Bee's transition from dog groomer to menopause coach, the creation of her group coaching programme The Hive, and why she believes no woman should have to navigate menopause — or MS — without a community around her.And if you've ever struggled to say no, invest in yourself, or ask for help… this episode is for you.00:00 Introduction00:37 When MS and Perimenopause Hit at the Same Time03:00 Getting the MS Diagnosis First — and Perimenopause Being Overlooked04:25 What Support from the MS Team Actually Looked Like05:08 Disease-Modifying Treatments and the Quality of Life Cost07:26 Going Medication-Free and What Made the Difference09:11 The Psychological Impact of Chronic Illness10:00 Duvet Days, Fatigue, and Learning to Rest Without Guilt12:07 MRI Results and Where Bee Is Today13:15 The Decision to Train as a Menopause Coach15:34 From Fence-Sitting to Full Commitment16:30 Finding Fulfillment Beyond the Dog Grooming Salon20:36 Lifestyle Changes Before and During the Diploma22:16 Small, Consistent Changes That Moved the Needle23:43 From Bedbound to the Great North Run26:19 Running for MS and Menopause — Raising Money and Awareness28:00 The Power of Atmosphere, Community, and a Good Partner29:15 Building The Hive — A Group Coaching Programme31:00 Why Community at Midlife Is So Powerful32:44 What Makes the Women of a Certain Stage Diploma Stand Out36:57 What's Next — Events, Radio, and Marketing the Hell Out of It40:42 It's Okay Not to Be Okay — Invest in Yourself43:05 The NHS Mindset and Why We Struggle to Pay for Our Own Health44:28 Why the Menopause Plan Matters Whether You Take HRT or Not45:03 Hydration, Energy Protection, and Learning to Say No47:44 Closing ThoughtsConnect with Bee:LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/bridgette-lowe-a9912869/Connect with Lauren:LinkedIn | 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/LaurenChirenAbout Women of a Certain StageWe are committed to transforming the menopause experience — both for individuals and the organisations that support them.

  • Why Asian Women Are Suffering Through Menopause in Silence

    Why Asian Women Are Suffering Through Menopause in Silence
    2026/08/18
    In this episode, Lauren sits down with Viola, a Singapore-based menopause coach and IT sales professional, for a fascinating and eye-opening conversation about what menopause looks like in Asia — and why so many women there are suffering in silence.Together, they explore how cultural attitudes, diet, lifestyle, and limited access to menopause-specific healthcare are shaping the experience of women going through perimenopause and menopause in Singapore and across Southeast Asia. Viola shares her personal journey — from discovering perimenopause through her research into anti-inflammatory nutrition, to completing the Menopause Coach Diploma and now supporting women in her community through education, coaching, and workplace advocacy.We dive into the fascinating differences in symptom profiles between Asian and Western women, the role of a high-carb diet in menopause experiences, and why joint pain — not hot flashes — tends to top the list for women in Singapore. We also explore the healthcare landscape in Singapore, from the role of GPs and specialists to the Women's Hospital Wellness Centre, and why MHT remains largely out of reach for many women without specialist referral.Viola also opens up about the generational silence around menopause, the dual pressures of work and family life, and why she believes it takes courage and wisdom to age well. And she shares some brilliant advice for men — both partners and line managers — on how they can show up and truly support the women in their lives.00:00 Introduction01:03 Viola's journey into menopause awareness and coaching02:13 How perimenopause sparked a passion for nutrition and lifestyle03:25 Working in IT sales and connecting with HR professionals04:28 Bringing menopause into the workplace — and the men who dial out05:13 Menopause symptoms in Singapore vs. the West — joint pain, sleep, and anxiety06:39 Diet differences — high-carb Asian diets and the impact on menopause08:07 How Viola is using her Menopause Coach Diploma in practice09:00 Offering 15-minute clarity calls and pro bono coaching10:11 Collaborating with nutritionists and doctors for International Women's Day talks12:20 Healthcare in Singapore — GPs, specialists, and the Women's Wellness Centre13:39 Standard health checks, DEXA scans, and the cholesterol conversation15:52 MHT in Singapore — how it's accessed and viewed16:31 Testosterone — available for men only (for now)17:08 Key takeaways from the Menopause Coach Diploma18:24 Average age of menopause in Singapore — and the juggle of work, family, and symptoms19:01 Viola's dream for menopause advocacy in her own workplace20:09 What men need to know about menopause — and Viola's husband's response22:19 Advice for male line managers and the case for flexible work arrangements23:53 Comparing lifestyles across generations — Viola's mum cycling 80km a day25:12 Genital urinary symptoms and the silence of older generations26:12 Viola's big dream — and why she coaches pro bono for now27:38 Closing wisdom: it takes courage and wisdom to age wellConnect with Viola:LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/viola-yau-v0500y/ (Please update with Viola's actual social media links)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 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

  • Menopause for Men: What to Do When Your Partner Changes (Brain Fog, Rage, Sex, Sleep)

    Menopause for Men: What to Do When Your Partner Changes (Brain Fog, Rage, Sex, Sleep)
    2026/08/11
    In this episode, I sit down with Sam Anderson for an honest, warm, and often laugh-out-loud conversation about what it's really like to support a partner through perimenopause — from the male perspective. Sam, a lecturer, menopause champion, and author of The A to Z Guide for Us Idiots, shares how his partner's experience with brain fog sent him on a journey of training, learning, and ultimately writing one of the first books on perimenopause written by a man, for men.Together, we unpack why communication is the single most powerful tool a man can have, why so many men make it about themselves when it really isn't, and how showing up without trying to fix everything can completely transform a relationship during this stage of life.We explore the dynamics of male menopause support groups, where intimacy and sex dominate the conversation, and why the men who communicate openly with their partners fare so much better than those who don't. We also talk about the importance of early education, the growing menopause market, and the very real problem of misinformation — from Instagram influencers to menopause-branded chocolate bars.And yes — there's a blooper moment tucked in there too, because even the most important conversations come with a little real life thrown in.00:00 Introduction to the Podcast 01:16 Sam's Personal Journey into Perimenopause Awareness 02:22 Becoming One of Scotland's First Male Menopause Champions 06:59 Writing The A to Z Guide for Us Idiots 09:01 Self-Publishing and Finding the Right Title 12:03 Sex, Intimacy, and Staying Close When Everything Feels Different 13:50 Support: Showing Up Without Acting Like a Hero 17:38 Inside Male Menopause Support Groups 20:13 Communication as the Key to Getting Through It Together25:15 Hormonal Decline in Men — and Why Nobody Wants to Talk About It 27:17 What Should Have Been Taught Earlier — Education and Awareness 29:49 Menopause in the Classroom and the Workplace 31:22 The Menopause Market, Misinformation, and Menowashing 36:13 The 10 Do's and Don'ts Every Partner Needs to Read 41:19 Sam's Next Projects — Including a Children's Book Series 45:08 Final Thoughts and Where to Find Sam's BookConnect with Sam:https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-anderson-822480a9/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 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/WomenOfACertainStage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@womenofacertainstage Twitter/X: https://x.com/LaurenChiren

  • Why High-Achieving Women Are Secretly Struggling Right Now

    Why High-Achieving Women Are Secretly Struggling Right Now
    2026/08/04

    In this episode, Lauren sits down with Jayne, an executive business partner and newly qualified Menopause Coach, for an honest and uplifting conversation about navigating menopause in the workplace — and why the best chapter of your life might still be ahead of you.

    Jayne shares her deeply personal story of being plunged into surgical menopause just weeks after her 40th birthday, and the years of confusion, isolation, and inadequate medical support that followed. Together, Lauren and Jayne unpack why so many high-achieving women are silently struggling — and what it really takes to feel confident, capable, and supported at this stage of life.

    They explore the critical importance of workplace awareness, why line managers don't need to be menopause experts (just good listeners), and how coaching can bridge the gap that the medical system so often leaves wide open. Jayne also shares how becoming a Menopause Coach has transformed not just her clients' lives, but her own — and why she's on a mission to support the men around menopausal women too.

    Brain Fog, Anxiety, & Sleepless Nights in Menopause
    2026/07/28
    In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie, a former primary school teacher turned menopause coach, for an honest and deeply moving conversation about living with undiagnosed endometriosis, navigating hormone imbalance for decades, and finally finding relief — and purpose — on the other side.Stephanie shares her journey from being put on the pill at 14 for "bad periods," to receiving her endometriosis diagnosis at 40, to discovering that HRT was the first time in her life her hormones had ever truly been balanced. Together, we explore how years of dismissal by medical professionals shaped her drive to educate and empower other women — and why she chose to train as a menopause coach.We discuss the overlap between endometriosis, perimenopause, and menopause symptoms, the power of cycle tracking, and why women so often need permission to put themselves first. Stephanie also shines a light on the very real challenges faced by teachers navigating menopause in the classroom — and what workplaces, including schools, must do better.00:00 Introduction01:03 Stephanie's Journey into Menopause Coaching02:29 Living with Undiagnosed Endometriosis04:32 Years of Dismissal by Medical Professionals06:10 Finally Getting a Diagnosis at 4008:05 Why Menopause Coaching — Making the Leap09:00 Finding Relief Through HRT11:18 What is Endometriosis?

Claire also opens up about the unexpected gift of the coaching program — not just professional training, but a profound personal transformation that gave her her life back.And if you're sitting on the fence about whether menopause coaching could be for you — Claire has something important to say to you directly.00:00 Introduction01:19 How Claire and Lauren Connected02:01 Who Is Claire Stewart and What Is Better Beyond?02:24 Supporting a Client Through a Breast Cancer Diagnosis03:25 The Value of Live Training and Community04:15 Claire's Career Before Menopause Coaching05:33 The Moment Everything Changed06:12 Making the Leap: Going All In on Menopause06:43 Building a Business From Scratch — The Reality07:04 Getting Visible: Social Media, Networking, and Showing Up09:16 Reaching Out to Macmillan Cancer Centre10:30 Collaborating With Wellness Centres11:22 Structuring Your Week as a New Business Owner13:12 Setting Boundaries — With Yourself14:14 Upcoming Events and Exciting Collaborations15:26 Working With Companies to Support Their Staff17:19 Why Smaller Organisations Are Leading the Way18:26 Why Claire Chose the Women of a Certain Stage Diploma20:27 Key Takeaways From the Programme22:09 How Life Has Changed Since Graduating25:14 Being a Coachee vs. Being a Student26:58 Adapting the Menopause Plan for Clients27:26 The Power of Coaching — Putting Control Back in the Client's Hands29:26 What Makes the Difference Between Success and Stalling30:45 Claire's Advice: Keep Showing Up33:03 What Would You Say to Someone Sitting on the Fence?Connect with Claire:Website |https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairestewart5uk/ 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 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/WomenOfACertainStage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@womenofacertainstage Twitter/X: https://x.com/LaurenChiren

    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
