listen to my appearance on the divorce survival guide podcast!
Recently, I mentioned that I had the opportunity to lead a discussion as a guest expert on a women’s divorce Facebook group led by the incredible Kate Anthony. Following on that opportunity, I had the honor of appearing on Kate’s podcast, The Divorce Survival Guide, which is among the most popular podcasts on relationships in the country. We talked about why women’s health concerns are still being dismissed, especially during the chaos of divorce and midlife changes like perimenopause. We also discussed the ways the medical system fails women, how we’ve been conditioned to ignore our own bodies, and what it means to reclaim our power in the middle of it all.
I’m excited to announce that the podcast episode is live! You can check it out now at https://kateanthony.com/podcast/ or your favorite podcast app!
From Kate’s promotional email for the episode:
The healthcare system was not built for women. For many of us, especially in midlife, our health concerns are dismissed, misunderstood, or flat-out ignored. And when you’re navigating the storm of divorce at the same time as perimenopause or menopause? It can feel like you’re unraveling.
I’m joined by Phoenix Rising member Kathy Gould, a holistic health coach, personal trainer, life coach, lactation consultant, and current grad student finishing her second Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. (I’m telling you, the women in Phoenix Rising are BADASS!)
This episode started as a guest expert session inside Phoenix Rising (my divorce empowerment collective for women). The conversation was so powerful, I knew I had to bring it to the podcast.
Kathy and I get into why the medical system has failed women, how we’ve been gaslit about our own bodies, and what it looks like to take our power back especially during times of massive upheaval like divorce. We are not meant to go through this quietly, and we are certainly not meant to go through it alone.
What you’ll hear about in this episode:
Why women’s health is dismissed, especially in midlife
The deep need for more open, supportive conversations around our wellness
The long-standing misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
How to advocate for yourself when doctors aren’t listening (especially if they’re covered by insurance)
What Kathy recommends for women going through both divorce and menopause at the same time
