Challenges That Change Us

My gift to you all: FREE High Performance Leadership E-book

https://events.highperformanceleadershipsummit.com.au/strategic-blueprint-high-performance-leadership

Do you love High performance then check out our 3 day summit in October this year, only 30 places : https://events.highperformanceleadershipsummit.com.au/october-summit-2024


After we released episode 107 with Susan Northey and spoke about menopause we had an overwhelming response from you guys so this time we are going to delve even further into the topic.

I am very excited to introduce you to Chrissy Freer, an accredited registered nutritionist (RNutr), researcher, health author and recipe creator with over 20 year’s industry experience. She specialises in women’s health and is passionate about supporting women’s nutrition, health and wellbeing, especially during perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

Chrissy’s passion comes from her own experience with menopause that absolutely threw her through the ringer and was only exacerbated by an initial misdiagnosis by her doctor.

I know this is going to be a truly eye opening and educational episode.

In this episode she shares:

  • Her experience with the menopause transition
  • How her perimenopause was misdiagnosed as anxiety
  • The ways her menopausal anxiety felt different to her
  • When she finally started to realise her problem was linked to perimenopause/menopause
  • Some of the symptoms and issues you can experience during the menopause
  • The negative self-talk she had around her menopause
  • The steps she took next to manage her menopause
  • How she started to get her sense of identity back
  • Why women need resistance training later in life for their long-term health
  • Some of her key nutrition advice for women during menopause and midlife
  • Why removing all carbs can actually exacerbate menopause
  • The first place to start when figuring out your menopause journey

Key Quotes

“I had really intense anxiety, I was having heart palpitations and I also had extreme nausea.”

There is a challenge that, according to statistics, 51% of marriages face and that is divorce.

But boiling it down to a statistic can take away the impact of the emotions, betrayals, struggles and actions that can lead up to a divorce.

Julia Scott is the founder of Love Luck Wealth, and is an intuitive financial coach and mentor. With over 20 years of experience as a Chartered Accountant, Tax Advisor, and Wealth Management Specialist, Julia is also certified in Money Mindset and the Energy of Wealth.

Her passion for financial empowerment led her to address the gap in the market for both emotion driven and female sensitive financial education and advice.

And this was all sparked from her own, personal experience that came from her divorce.

In this episode Julia shares:

  • Why she got to the point of needing a divorce
  • How she realised her finances were being entirely controlled by her husband
  • How the realisation came suddenly that she was trapped and in a bad relationship
  • What happened when she made the decision to leave
  • How her mind and depression paralysed her and prevented her from leaving and acting forward for a long time
  • How hard it was to tell her friends and family
  • What was the most challenging part of the divorce process
  • The realisations she had that helped her move on and work on herself
  • The process of going to court over the divorce
  • Her explanation of manifestation and how you can use it
