Unmuted Ep. 2 | with special guest Angela MacGregor: Empowering Women Through Menopause Education

Episode 2 of Unmuted: The Midlife Roundtable is live — and it’s a powerful one.

We sat down with Angela MacGregor, Founder and Event Director of the National Menopause Show, a groundbreaking Canadian event bridging the gap between the medical community and women in midlife.

This conversation goes far beyond symptoms.


It’s about education, advocacy, connection, and aging with power — not fear.

Angela shares how the National Menopause Show is reshaping the conversation by:
✨ Bringing together healthcare providers who truly understand perimenopause & menopause
✨ Curating products + services designed to help women feel better
✨ Creating clinical education opportunities for providers
✨ Building a community where women finally feel seen, heard, and supported

We dive into:
• Why menopause education is essential for women and healthcare providers
• The role partners play in supporting women
• Mental health and the emotional load of midlife
• Building the right menopause care team
• Vaginal health and the importance of open conversations
• How communication strengthens relationships during menopause
• HRT: what women need to know
• Why pleasure and intimacy should never come with shame
• The power of peer support to break isolation

If you’re a woman in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond — a partner who wants to support better — or a healthcare professional committed to doing better…
this episode is a must-listen.
