In this episode, I engage in the most raw and captivating conversation with Angel Forrest, a celebrated singer-songwriter, as she shares her compelling narrative of navigating menopause. Angel shares the magic of the transformative power of music, holistic symptom managment practices, and self-acceptance in embracing the unique menopausal experience, while also underscoring the importance of stress management and personal growth during this life transition.
