Madeleine reflects on her formative years, including her rebellious nature as a child, which influenced her life’s work. \nShe shares her journey of finding purpose through initiatives like G Day - a series of events aimed at empowering girls entering adolescence. \nThe conversation highlights her transition into midlife, marked by her decision to quit alcohol during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing profound personal growth and a return to more authentic living. \nThe episode concludes with a teaser about Madeleine’s upcoming project, ‘Autumn Collective’, which focuses on community-building for women in midlife and menopause. \nAnd, stay tuned for a Madeleine Part two! \nBio \nI recently turned 57 and have been post-menopausal for 4 years. My background is as a social entrepreneur with a strong legacy in the menstrual health and equity space. \nAround 10 years ago I started realizing that I was developing an unhealthy relationship with one of my favourite things: wine. Long story short, going on four years fully sober today, I believe that being menopausal basically saved me, in that I could no longer tolerate night sweats and my diminishing ability to tolerate a 'couple of glasses' of wine a day. \nToday, I'm working on launching an event series called ‘Autumn Collective’ for folks in the menopausal transition (includes peri- to post-) to explore, support and celebrate ourselves at this time in life.\nLinkedin Madeleine ShawInstagram Madeleine ShawWebsite: Madeleine ShawYouTube: Madeleine ShawMedium: Madeleine ShawSubstack: Madeleine ShawBook Greater Good Events G Day \nMadeleline’s Five Words\nCreative, generative, feminist, instigator, Bad Brownie\nGood ReadsAre you there God?
