With me today is the fabulous Shelly Horton. Shelly is a journalist, Channel 9 presenter, keynote speaker, emcee, the founder of ShellShocked Media and she is passionate about normalising conversations and education on the topic of perimenopause. You’re in for a treat today as Shelly openly and humorously shares her journey with perimenopause and why she is an out-and-proud peri warrior. 



Shelly has been a long-time advocate for women’s health, publicly speaking up to destigmatise topics such as a woman’s choice to be childfree, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), dense breasts, depression and peri/menopause.



She is an ambassador for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Too Good, Pink Hope and HER Mental Health. Shelly is also a member of the International Menopause Society and has way too much going on to let perimenopause get in the way!



With such a lack of education and discussion on the topic of perimenopause, Shelly had no idea what it was until it hit her. In this conversation, Shelly talks about her experience with depression and anxiety and how most of the symptoms of perimenopause can be passed off as something else. This leaves many women feeling isolated, confused, misdiagnosed and in a terrible state of health. Shelly shares her advice for women to talk about what they are experiencing and the importance of finding a GP who has expertise in perimenopause.



We talk about the need to educate all genders about perimenopause, which Shelly is doing alongside Dr Ginni Mansberg through their incredible course, Don’t Sweat It. Given that so many women are in vital positions of leadership, Shelly shares why it’s crucial to implement perimenopause and menopause policies in the workplace. We talk about not just ticking the box, but actually educating and building awareness on what women really go through. 



Shelly is doing an incredible leading the conversation on this taboo topic, and I know you’re going to really enjoy this episode. I hope it inspires to take action for own health and start building awareness in your community so that women’s health is prioritised in the way it should be.

So if you want to have impact that leads to prosperity and happiness, it all starts with you. With your mindset and personal leadership toolbox, which Leading You will help you build up.

Leading you is hosted by Julie Hyde, an entrepreneur, corporate drop out and passionate leader. Julie knows one thing: you can’t control what happens to you but you can control how you respond. It’s why Leading You is important.

Each week, guests share their secret sauce. They reveal their roadmaps to success. How they’ve stayed anchored to who they are, insights into their courage and resilience and how to be emotionally and behaviourally agile. It’s a conversation, not an interrogation, and you’ll hear the human side of household names.
