Unpacking Menopause with Kirstin Bouse 

Join us for an insightful conversation with Kirstin Bouse, a trailblazer in women’s health and well-being. With nearly three decades of experience as a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, Kirstin has dedicated her career to empowering women. Now she is focusing on those navigating the challenges of menopause.

In this episode, we’ll dive deep into Kirstin’s latest groundbreaking initiative, All About Her – The Centre for Menopause. Establishing a dedicated healthcare squad will transform the landscape for Australian women impacted by menopause. Hear Kirstin’s big vision and  what motivated her to establish All About Her.  Be inspired by Kirstin’s personal story that sparked her realisation about a gap in the system that supports women and provides essential education and training for psychologists and health professionals.

Menopause has significant social and economic costs, both for society and for women experiencing it. Research shows that menopause can lead to reduced productivity where those experiencing severe symptoms may miss work or reduce their working hours. A study in the UK estimated that menopause-related productivity loss costs employers around £7.3 billion annually.  With Kirstin, we will explore the weaknesses of our current  healthcare system that bears the burden of treating menopause-related symptoms and an over reliance on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The experiences of menopause can be debilitating at a personal level. Kirstin will share how symptoms can lead to extraordinary costs for women from financial and career impacts to mental health.

Tune in as we adventure into  Kirstin’s initiative to overcome the stigma and lack of support for menopause, helping to close existing gender inequalities in the health system, our communities and workplaces. Kirstin will share her insights into the needs of women through our life stages, and be inspired about this fabulous All About Her venture.   This is a must-listen for all women, and anyone interested in the intersection of mental health and menopause.
