Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.

In this episode, we continue our grassroots conversations and we’re speaking with Mona Emera.

Mona went to school with Nat, albeit a few years apart, and they recently reconnected at a panel event.

Mona is a family law firm owner who overcame fertility struggles and underwent IVF treatments and then had natural pregnancies to become a mother of two. She then was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency.

In this episode, she discusses the physical and emotional challenges of perimenopause, including brain fog, hot flushes and mood swings, and her transformative experience using HRT.

The conversation emphasises the importance and the opportunity of education and support in the workplace, especially in traditional industries like law. Mona encourages women to prioritise their health, embrace self-care, and engage in open conversations about menopause.

Mona also advocates for increased menopause education and understanding across all demographics to foster empathy and support.

Key Discussion Points

• Her fertility challenges and premature ovarian insufficiency diagnosis,
• Her personal journey through perimenopause, and the physical and emotional challenges and ultimately coming into her own power, and
• The massive educational opportunity for women in the workplace.
