Summary

Menopause is a confusing, sometimes isolating time. We have more information than ever, but can still feel in the dark about exactly what’s going on and what we should or maybe shouldn’t be doing about it. To help, Feisty Menopause and Hit Play Not Pause host Selene Yeager have created an 8 week course called Navigate Menopause that guides women through menopause physiology, hormonal and other therapies, and the exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies that can help smooth the transition, as well as help them create a plan of action for this time of life. Hundreds of women have taken the course since we launched earlier this year, and they’ve shared some moving stories worth sharing. So this week we do just that: We sit down with four women from our latest cohorts to hear about the obstacles they’ve encountered in their menopause transition and discuss the blueprint they’ve created for their future.

Abby Huggins Mowinski, 49, is a veterinarian, professor, and mother of two teenage sons. She’s an avid triathlete and trail runner, and loves all outdoor activities. She volunteers with Swim Across America, Scouts, as a high school assistant cross country coach.

DeAnn Barlow, 53, is an E-Commerce Merchandising Specialist who took up gravel cycling at age 47 and has been hooked ever since. She documents her menopause journey on her substack: www.aventyr.cc

Iris McCormack, 53, is a competitive golfer, who also runs, strength trains, hikes, and walks her dogs daily. She is also a knitter, bread baker, and active mom to an athletic teenage daughter and son.

Heather Benning, 51, is a lifelong athlete who after nearly two decades of coaching collegiate soccer and teaching, transitioned into the role of commissioner for a DIII athletic conference. She is currently an avid road and trail runner and enjoys CrossFit and gravel cycling.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers,
0:19.7	and other experts to help you feel and perform you best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:30.3	Hello, strong, feisty women.
0:33.0	I hope you all are well.
0:35.3	So we are just wrapping up summer here in the Northern Hemisphere,
0:39.3	and it's been a really special one that I am so grateful for. It started with getting inducted
0:46.5	into the Gravel Cycling Hall of Fame out in Emporia, Kansas during Unbound Week in June,
0:52.3	and ended with going out to Rebecca's private Idaho Labor Day weekend
0:57.4	and launching a four-part podcast series on Concussion called Brainstorm.
1:03.3	And if you haven't seen it yet, I really encourage you to check it out.
1:06.6	It's about seven-time world champion adventure athlete Rebecca Rush's three-year struggle to recover from a concussion.
1:15.1	And as a longtime friend and past teammate of Rebecca's, I was really moved and honored that she trusted me to host this series.
1:23.0	And even if you don't have a concussion yourself, it's really compelling to hear her talk about her
1:28.9	crash and her recovery process that included talk and psychedelic assisted therapy, which
1:34.6	honestly I didn't know a whole lot about before going into this series. And it also shines a
1:40.4	very bright light on how little most of us, including medical professionals, know about
1:47.2	concussion, how so many people get bad advice and how the medical professionals in the field
1:53.8	today are working to change that and provide better care. I'll put links to the series in the show
2:00.0	notes so you can check it out. But,
