S01E88 Menopause and saving a life

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Empowered Women Life Leaders podcast with your host Karen Bashford. In today’s deeply personal and sensitive conversation, Karen shares the story of “Sophie”—a woman navigating the heartbreak of menopause, the grief of lost motherhood, and the crushing impact of feeling abandoned by those meant to support her. This episode explores fertility, menopause, suicidal thoughts, and emotional resilience, and how one honest conversation helped Sophie step back from the edge and reclaim hope. Listener note: this episode discusses suicidal ideation and may be triggering for some.
