Strong in 5: Understanding Menopause
Menopause is a natural part of life — not an illness, not a flaw, and nothing to be ashamed of. But that does not make it easy. Hot flashes, disrupted sleep, brain fog, unexplained aches and pains — navigating those symptoms alongside a demanding job and a full life is genuinely hard. And you are not imagining it. In this episode of Strong in 5, Cathy Richards — lifestyle and wellness strategist and certified exercise physiologist — shares five practical tools for getting through this transition with more clarity and less struggle. Cathy speaks from experience: she is currently in perimenopause herself, and she brings the kind of grounded, real-talk perspective that actually helps.
