Menopause Goes Mainstage with Angela MacGregor

Today’s conversation goes deep into what really happens when women finally step into a menopause support space, the privacy they protect fiercely, the relief they feel when they discover they’re not alone, and the hunger for real, accessible care. Guiding this exploration is Angela MacGregor, the powerhouse founder of the National Menopause Show. Angela is rewriting the script on how Canada talks about menopause: bold, future-focused, and grounded in evidence and humanity. Together, we unpack why so many women show up to these sessions quietly and alone, why access to informed care still feels out of reach, and how normalization and community are slowly breaking decades of stigma. Angela brings her signature clarity and courage as we explore what it truly means to elevate menopause from a whispered topic to a national priority,  one honest conversation at a time.
