Send a textYou're in for a treat!! We're diving deep into menopause with Mary Lee, the host of All Things Menopausal. Learn more about what to expect, how to handle it, and how to make sure you aren't doing "the change" alone.About Mary:Mary is a retired veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces serving more than  24 years. Since retiring from service, and as a PR practitioner Mary has  worked in numerous industries, including healthcare, education, aviation, government, mining, bio innovation, and life sciences. She has an insatiable appetite for knowledge, especially in health and wellness. In fact, Mary has pursued fitness and wellness as a side hustle for close to 30 years. In this field, she was been more exposed to woman experiencing the same issue - peri menopause. The story is always the same, weight gain, sleeplessness, brain fog, hot flashes, and issues with digestion. It came to her that this is an area that sadly lacks information and support and that more resources are needed. Motivated by her own negative encounter with the misogynistic views and lack of knowledge and empathy for women's health issues, Mary has made it her mission to debunk the misunderstanding and mistruths about hormonal health. Mary haphazardly came across the Menopause Doula certification course and promptly enrolled with Doula Training based in Toronto, Canada. Since completing the program Mary has continued in her learning journey with numerous other qualifications including Ayurveda Principles,  Menopause 2.0 with Dr. Stacy Sims, Brain Health for Menopause with Dr. Fiona Lovely, Women’s Health Coaching Certification through Girls Gone Strong, and Yoga for Traumatic Brain Injury through the Love Your Brain Foundation. Mary  is the owner of Emme Elle Coaching and host of her second podcast All Things Menopausal a podcast that  features an array of guest experts in the field of menopausal health -  from the physical and mental to the emotional and spiritual. Find Mary at:https://emmeellecoaching.com/*************************************If you're a woman who appreciates connecting with other women in community with vulnerability and compassion, please join us in the Solidarity Sister!
