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My mission is to challenge outdated narratives around menopause.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!

The Power of Breathwork: Shifting from Mind to Body with Lo Bundy
Episode 16 is a conversation about the healing benefits of breath work with my guest Lo Bundy.
Lo is a Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator based in Nova Scotia, Canada. She is also a nurse of 15 years, a mom of two, and wife to a firefighter. Her goal as a facilitator is to help people heal traumas, and to learn how to regulate their nervous system from anxiety and chaos to calm and balanced.
In my conversation we discuss how breathwork can help manage anxiety, trauma, and was an effective management tool for Lo after suffering two significant concussions. Lo’s journey into breathwork led to becoming a coach and she infuses her love for yoga and weight lifting to coach others in the benefits of regular exercise and breathing techniques.
Lo is so candid and raw when she talks about overcoming binge eating and imparts a few effective techniques for menopause symptom management that she discovered in own personal trauma healing journey.
Learn more about Lo and her breathwork facilitation and coaching at lobundy.com. On Facebook at lobundy and on Instagram as lo_bundy
Lo’s recommended book, Hungry for Happiness by Samantha Skelly which explores the author's journey from a place of self-destructive eating habits and body image issues to a holistic approach to wellness, offering insights and tools for readers to cultivate a positive relationship with food and their bodies.
