from Power Of Women podcast

In this episode of the Power Of Women Podcast, Di Gillett sits down with triple Olympian and women’s health advocate Lisa Curry to discuss the reality of perimenopause and menopause - physically, emotionally and psychologically.For most of her life, Lisa trusted her body. As an elite athlete, she understood discipline, resilience, and endurance. But when her emotional stability began to shift in her 30s, she found herself thinking:“What the fuck is wrong with me?”No one was talking about perimenopause in the 1990s. Not even her doctor had language for what she was experiencing.In this conversation, Lisa shares how hormonal change affected her identity, relationships, mood, and confidence, and why women do not have to wait for symptoms to escalate before becoming proactive. Together we explore:The emotional volatility of perimenopauseThe invisible load carried by working mothersWhy pushing through is not always strengthThe importance of tracking symptomsEducation versus “being managed”The debate between HRT, natural therapies and informed choiceWhy sleep, anxiety and weight gain remain the top concerns for womenHow lifestyle choices compound or reduce symptomsWhat post-menopause actually feels like Lisa is now co-founder of Happy Healthy You, a platform supporting over 1.5 million women through hormonal education, community and evidence-based solutions.Her message is clear:Hormonal change is biology. You can’t beat it. But you can work with it.Knowledge is power when navigating menopause. New podcast episodes drop every Monday to power your week. Be the first to catch inspiring interviews, empowering stories, and thought-provoking conversations.🎧 Watch and subscribe to: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts.✔ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeuAx74qUBrHxaQPEnxRpTw?sub_confirmation=1✔ Follow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4hUXLl9Oc8xSSmR652wP3c?si=554c1a25f0e848a8✔ Follow on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/power-of-women-podcast/id1735659590✔ Follow on the website: https://powerofwomen.com.au/podcast/ Who is Lisa Curry?Lisa Curry OAM is a triple Olympian, Australian sporting icon and women’s health advocate.
