211 - ”I No Longer Give a F**k About What People Think” plus Boobs, Menopause & More with Jill Angie

Today I connect with an old friend who is doing really cool things for women - Jill Angie is empowering women to set and go after life goals they didn’t realize were possible. She calls herself a fat running coach as she runs her Not Your Average Runner empire. She’s also a life coach which is sort of obvious as we chat, a speaker, an author and the coolest person you’ll ever meet. She’s also through to the other side of menopause and has some awesome insights to share. I’m sure you’ll want to work with her after listening today. Head over to notyouraveragerunner.com and grab her free Start Running Kit on the site.

And I should add that my goal was to do an episode about what happens to our boobs during menopause. I couldn’t think of anyone better to talk breasts with than Jill Angie, but realized even before we started that we would need to expand the conversation to cover all things menopause and even a few more fun rabbit holes. So get ready!

Today we pontificate on the following:

• Jill's menopause journey including the fact that she thought she was crazy when she started having symptoms bc no one told her they could be tied to perimenopause in her early 40s!
• Symptoms: heart racing in middle of night, sleep problems, vertigo, hot flashes, hair changes
• What helped: stopping caffeine, a book she picked up by one of the Northrups, she did not do HRT
• Boobs: We talk about our own breasts and some common ways that menopause may affect breasts, namely tenderness/pain, changes in size or shape, and the scariest one - lumpy breasts. If you have this symptom, see your doctor asap as it may be indicative of something other than menopause
• Sex after menopause: yes, it can be amazing :)
• And more
