Renovating Your Life, Not Just Your Home - Midlife, Menopause & Meaning with Louise Neil

We're bombarded with headlines about the "downside" of midlife - wrinkles, weight gain, and waning energy. But here's the truth: this season isn't just about loss, it's about renovation.

In this episode, we sit down with Louise Neil, Women's Career Empowerment Strategist and founder of Menomentum, a movement reshaping how menopause is understood and supported in the workplace. Louise knows firsthand what it's like to hit pause, pivot, and rebuild a life that actually fits.

From stepping away from a successful career to launching a movement, Louise shares how she learned to stop staying too long in places that didn't fit, and how menopause became the unexpected catalyst for self-discovery.

We dig into:

• Why menopause isn't just a personal milestone - it's a workplace, cultural, and economic issue.

• How to tell the difference between burnout, stress, and hormonal shifts.

• Why symptom tracking can change everything.

• How to rewrite your midlife story - with confidence and clarity.

Because let's face it - women in midlife are in their prime, not their decline. And the more we talk about what's really going on, the more power we take back — at work, at home, and in our own heads.

If you've ever felt the itch to "renovate your life," this one's for you.
