Welcome to 'Peri Menopause Power,' the podcast where we dive deep into the transformative journey of menopause, sharing real stories from real women.

In today's episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Amanda Pulford, a Clinical Psychologist at Awaken Consulting, who is passionate about executive coaching, leadership development, and facilitation.

Amanda empowers leaders to embrace their authentic leadership style and fosters environments where individuals and teams can thrive. With her expertise in psychological safety and trauma, Amanda helps clients understand themselves and others, unlock patterns holding them back, and realise their potential for growth.

Today, Amanda dives deep into the often-overlooked connection between trauma and menopause, and how it impacts physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Episode Highlights:
Personal Stories and Insights: Amanda shares her own menopause story and experiences working in this space.
Trauma Resurfacing: Learn how past trauma can resurface during the perimenopausal period and the common signs or symptoms to look out for.
Importance of Discussion: Understand why the connection between trauma and perimenopause is rarely discussed and why it needs more attention.
Support and Advocacy: Amanda provides valuable advice for women navigating perimenopause while dealing with past trauma, including tips on advocating for their health and well-being.
