This week on Fearless with Mary, we’re talking about something that impacts every woman — menopause.
And trust me, it’s more than hot flashes.
I’m joined by the incredible Jesse Schewchuk, aka Ms. Jesse Muse — a multi-award-winning TV producer, bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the powerhouse behind The Menopause Mission, a nonprofit changing the conversation around menopause through advocacy, education, and real community support.
Jesse is on a mission to bring menopause out of the shadows and into the spotlight. In this episode, we unpack:
Why menopause still feels like a taboo topic
The emotional and physical shifts women aren’t warned about
How workplaces can better support women going through menopause
What Jesse learned from producing Making the M-Word Mainstream, her TELUS Optik documentary series
Practical ways to advocate for yourself and others during this transition
Whether you’re in it, approaching it, or know someone who is — this episode is packed with truth, tools, and validation you won’t want to miss.
