Episode 51 - Muscle, Milestones & Mowing the Lawn

In this power-packed episode, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most exciting (and exhausting!) weeks of my life — and how it reminded me that menopause is not the end, but a bold new beginning.

From co-curating the Women’s Healthy Living Show and hosting the High Heels & Hot Flashes stage with my incredible partner, Nadine Woods — to interviewing Canadian media icon Tracy Moore, screening the groundbreaking documentary The M Factor, and celebrating my daughters' graduations in Halifax and Toronto — it’s been a whirlwind of growth, joy, and deep reflection.

I dive into:

• Why muscle is your menopause superpower (with real stats!)
• What Tracy Moore had to say about fatphobia and public scrutiny
• How the history of gynecology still impacts women of colour today
• Celebrating my daughter Rio’s university convocation — the first Montpetit graduate!
• Co-parenting wins (even post-divorce!)
• And yes… the moment I felt like a total badass — learning to mow my own lawn 💪🏽

Through it all, I’m reminded that while life can be messy and overwhelming, we also have the power to choose how we respond — with gratitude, joy, and resilience.

✨ Whether you're in the thick of midlife changes or just need a reminder of how strong you really are — this episode is for YOU.
