The Menopause Disruptor Podcast

Welcome to The Menopause Disruptor Podcast, I’m your host, Mary Lee, a compassionate Menopause Doula and Licensed Menopause Champion in partnership with The Menopause Expert Group.

My mission is to challenge outdated narratives around menopause. The menopausal transition is a natural phase of life that deserves to be embraced, not stigmatized.

Reflecting on my own encounters with the lack gap in female hormonal health and leaning in on my experience in science communication and public relations practitioner, I decided the time is now to rewrite the script and bring truth and reliable resources to the forefront.

In each episode, I tackle taboo topics and disrupt the status quo on how we think, act, and treat menopause - peri to post. Join me in these informative conversations, either alone or with credible guest experts, as I dive into real, raw, and relatable discussions surrounding the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging.

It’s time to reclaim our voices and advocate for our health with confidence.
Midlife should be the best life, and it will be!

ABCs of Meditation: Why Menopausal Women Need This

August 04, 2025 • Mary Lee • Season 2 • Episode 80

0:00 | 20:06

Join host Mary for the unveiling of a new meditation series, the Goddess Journey Meditation.

Recognizing the impact of stress on menopausal women and the importance of shifting from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic nervous system for healing, this series will be featured often alongside the regular guest interviews.

In this introduction to the series, Mary discusses the concept of rewiring the brain through simple breathwork and gratitude practices, inspired by an interview on the Mel Robbins Podcast with the late Dr. Jim Doty, neuroscientist and bestselling author. The episode emphasizes the 'ABCs' of meditation—an exercise where listeners focus on gratitude to promote a calm and rejuvenated mindset.

Whether listeners are new to meditation, returning to the practice, or seasoned practitioners, this series is for everyone. It can be done in the morning for the best results or anytime during the day to escape mental noise and return to the heart zone, where healing and manifesting happen.
