Episode 120: The Menopause Midlife Crisis That Took This Surgeon In A Totally New Direction with Dr. Michelle Gordon

My guest this week is Dr. Michelle Gordon, former surgeon and now founder of Menopause Movement: a community of women flourishing through menopause (and life). In this episode, she shares her journey from being the epitome of success, having a thriving career as a medical doctor, only to find it draining and unfulfilling and chucking it all late-in-life for a risky, but deeply rewarding and purpose-driven mission creating an online program for menopausal women. .

When menopause hit her with embarrassing hot flashes, anxiety, self-doubt, stubborn belly fat, and raging moods, Dr. Michelle knew she needed answers. Through trial and error, she began to thrive. This resulted in a transformation in both the disruption of menopause and her life. And that's when she conceived The Menopause Movement, where she helps women, who, like the old Michelle, struggle with the physical and mental challenges of menopause, find support and answers so they can enjoy life again. 

Not only is this episode about her transition to becoming an online entrepreneur, but she goes deep on the important life lessons she’s learned in this process about spirituality, her personal relationships and her failures that led to her finding her true purpose.

As she says so brilliantly: “Going through the change of life is life changing - for the better - for us all... if we CHOOSE to see it that way.”
