As a woman in my mid-40s, navigating the shifts and surprises of this life stage, I’ve come to realize how underserved we are when it comes to understanding menopause. It’s a natural transition, yet too often shrouded in silence, leaving many of us to figure it out alone. That’s why I’m passionate about shining a light on this crucial topic—not just for myself but for all the women who deserve better resources, support, and acknowledgment. In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Amita Sharma, the founder of Nourish Doc, whose work is breaking barriers and creating a movement to empower women through menopause and beyond. Her online platform for menopause wellness resources is an invitation to us all - men and women - to learn more about this very regular and often troublesome part of our lives. Amita shared her story and struggles of perimenopause and menopause amidst a corporate world that barely acknowledges its existence. She created her platform out of what she saw as an unmet need. Amita’s mission with Nourish Doc is to empower middle-aged women and bring much-needed awareness to the forefront. Our open exchange threw light on: ✨the taboo subject of menopause, discussing its impact on women’s professional lives, and the dire need for resources and understanding in the workplace. ✨the incredible potential of diet and lifestyle choices to maintain hormonal harmony. ✨the serious implications of gut health, mental well-being, and the profound influence of modalities like yoga and Ayurveda on menopausal symptoms. ✨menopause as a movement that’s gaining traction in spaces like big corporate and beyond, where menopause awareness in the workplace is finally being recognized as a pressing issue. Amita shared the exciting news of the Nourish Doc app, a beacon of support for women navigating this natural, albeit challenging, life stage. From acknowledging the cultural nuances of menopause to advocating for necessary accommodations, we underscored the importance of creating an inclusive environment where every woman can thrive, free from the shackles of silent suffering.

In this episode of the “And All The Things” podcast, I, Michaela, your host and your Joy Coach, branch out into a solo podcast that feels quite like I am walking out on a limb. I preach vulnerability, finding our voice, and taking the pause to reflect. I preach all of this, and yet…I was unwittingly ignoring all of it. In this solo episode, I share with you my own experiences with the addictive allure of audio content, and the challenges it poses to maintaining curiosity and creativity. Despite the irony of discussing silence on a podcast, I'll provide practical strategies for integrating moments of quiet reflection into our daily routines, empowering us to enhance our mental well-being and reclaim our focus. Even with my awareness of the profound impact that cultivating moments of silence can have on our lives, I found myself addicted to the noise - not so much the noise of our culture, but the noise (podcasts and audiobooks) that I was using voluntarily to silence my authentic voice.  To make sense of this, I began to explore the concept of addiction beyond substances, examining how even behaviors that aren’t “bad or dangerous” indeed can be when they hinder our personal development. By marrying scientific understanding with spiritual insight, I welcome you to reassess your relationship with noise and distractions, and to embrace the sanctuary of silence as a pathway to deeper self-discovery and fulfillment. Please enjoy this episode of “Silence & And All the Things”.

"Who were you? Who are you? And who do you want to be?" Meet Tara Gilvar: friend, mentor, colleague, and overall inspiration✨ Tara Gilvar is the Founder and CEO of B.I.G. Believe. Inspire. Grow. a global women’s empowerment organization.  A natural born connector, Tara spent the early part of her career, after graduating from Boston College as a political science major, working in Boston politics and building national consumer brands at a national advertising agency. Like many women, Tara left the workforce to raise her children. After seeing a bumper sticker on a teacher's car that read, “Remember Who You Wanted to Be,“ her life changed. She knew she had to act.  After gathering nearly 40 women from her town into her living room to discuss the pursuit of their business dreams one morning in 2009, Tara realized, immediately, how the development of B.I.G. could provide better balance, more personal fulfillment and a sense of intellectual camaraderie that had been missing for most of her adult life. It is a concept that she has been driven to share with women around the country. Website
