In this episode of the Angela Henderson Online Business Show, I’m joined by the incredible Shelly Horton, journalist, author of I’m Your Peri Godmother, and co-creator of Don’t Sweat It, an organisation advocating for menopause-friendly workplaces across Australia.
Shelly opens up about her own perimenopause journey, an honest, empowering discussion about symptoms, myths, and support every woman deserves during this life stage and why she’s on a mission to change the way we talk about menopause in life, business, and society. This is a powerful, honest conversation that every woman needs to hear.
