Menopause is HOT right now! Join Joy & Lorraine as they share their research and thoughts on why menopause is so prevalent in the news, on social media and at the doctor’s office!
Some of the key topics of the discussion include:
More Open Conversations: Women are finally talking openly about menopause, which is breaking old taboos. For years, it was something people avoided discussing, but now, there’s more focus on supporting women through this stage of life.
Aging Population: With more women hitting menopause and living longer afterward, there’s a growing need to address the specific health and lifestyle issues that come with it. So, naturally, it’s becoming more of a hot topic.
Celebrity Spotlight: Well-known figures, like Michelle Obama and Naomi Watts, are sharing their personal experiences with menopause. This is huge because when celebrities talk about it, it helps normalize the conversation and encourages others to open up.
Workplace Changes: More companies are starting to recognize the impact of menopause on women at work. Some are even introducing policies or wellness programs that support women going through this transition, which helps bring the issue into the spotlight.
Booming Wellness Industry: There’s a growing market for menopause-related products—everything from hormone therapy to skincare. As companies focus more on this group, it’s naturally drawing more attention to the topic.

We continue with Part Two of what we believe are powerful episodes! Do you feel Worthy? Joy & Lorraine take a deep dive into what it means to feel worthy vs. having self-confidence. They share their own life experiences as they discuss highlights of several chapters from this New York Times Bestseller by Jamie Kern Lima. WORTHY: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life. This topic will be covered in two parts. Be sure to listen to Part One as well!
Some of the key topics of the discussion include:
The 4 Keys to Fulfillment: Self-worth, self-confidence, growth and contribution. Which one is your strongest area and which one do you want to work on developing? Any aha moments you’ve had over the role any of the four have played in your life and how it might or might not be contributing to your level of fulfillment?
How do you feel about your current circle? Do you want to expand or contract it? Does your circle lift you up? Discuss the value you see of spending time with like-hearted people verses like-minded people.
We share how reading WORTHY has helped us grow and become more aware and how it’s impacted or even been the catalyst to begin our self-worthy journey.
