Menopause is a complicated, confusing overwhelming and outright terrifying and it’s inevitable. By 2025, 1billion women will be in some stage of menopause – that’s 1 in 8 people on the plane.

My guests today are Jan Scott and Diana Phillips from Windrose Retreats, two energising and exciting trailblazers who are helping women worldwide live Menopause Out Loud and by providing a safe haven with their Retreats. In this episode we will be looking at modern menopause and debunking the myths and stigma by empowering women with fact-based knowledge and tools to take charge of the change.

I love these two vibrant women and we had so much fun during the interview.

During the interview we discussed:

Jan and Diana’s individual stories and how they came to establish the Windrose Retreats
Why Modern Menopause?
The symptoms of Menopause
The Retreat program and it’s focus on natural remedies and chinese medicine.
Their connection with the New Pause Summit hosted by Naiomi Watts
