Be the Witness: Embracing Change Through Community and Scripture with Kristin Wilson Artwork

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My mission is to challenge outdated narratives around menopause.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!

Be the Witness: Embracing Change Through Community and Scripture with Kristin Wilson

March 18, 2024 • Mary Lee, Menopause Doula • Season 1 • Episode 24

In this episode with Kristin Wilson, we delve into a discussion about the importance of community, spirituality, and empathy during the menopausal transition.

Kristin is a the host of the Solidarity Sister! Podcast. Her podcast and corresponding Facebook group are designed to empower women with practical tools for building powerful communities and leaning in through both joy and trauma.

In our conversation Kristin touches on her personal experiences including a goal to read all scriptures before age 12, raising 8 children ranging in ages 5 to 23, coping with her husband's serious health issue during COVID, and the tragic loss of two children from her small community. Kristin knows what it's like to desperately need help and not know how to ask and to see a friend in need and not know how to show up. She is on a journey to figure this out and is inviting other women to do it alongside her.

Kristin emparts her wisdom of the scriptures and its value in providing solace and guidance through life's transitions, including menopause. Our discussion also explores how menopause can fit into a woman's broader spiritual journey, advocating for more openness and support within communities to navigate this phase with grace, understanding and more education.

Books mentioned include:

King James Version Bible,

Book of Mormon, and

The Gifts of Imperfection by Dr. Brené Brown
