Menopause, Leadership & Nervous-System Care: Supporting Women Through Life Transitions with Miche...

Welcome back to Season 3 of The Bigger Braver Life Show. I’m Angela Williams, a licensed clinical social worker and leadership mindset coach, and this season, I’m exploring something I care deeply about: the intersection of leadership, mental health, creativity, and nervous-system capacity. In this episode, I’m joined by Michele Selon Miles, an occupational therapist, menopause coach, and founder of She’s Balanced. Michele offers holistic support for women navigating perimenopause and menopause — especially leaders balancing careers, families, faith, and personal well-being during major life transitions. Michele’s work was inspired by her own lived experience with perimenopause and the realization that far too many women are struggling in silence. Through education, coaching, and community, her mission is to help women care for their health, regulate their nervous systems, and move forward with clarity, compassion, and balance. She’s Balanced welcomes women of all backgrounds and is rooted in faith, understanding, and whole-person wellness. Michele is also a wife, mother of three, and a passionate advocate for mental health, community support, and honest conversations about women’s health. This conversation is practical, compassionate, and deeply validating — especially for women leaders who feel pressure to “do it all” while quietly managing physical, emotional, and hormonal changes. **Michele's note for a correction in the podcast: Women of color experience more menopausal symptoms and issues with this transition due to environmental and social economic conditions and racial issues.

In This Episode, We Discuss: 🌿 Leadership Through Life Transitions Why menopause and perimenopause are leadership issues — and how health directly impacts decision-making, focus, and resilience. 🧠 Perimenopause Symptoms & Nervous-System Awareness Brain fog, sleep disruption, emotional shifts, and why lab work doesn’t always tell the full story. 💬 Permission to Ask for Support Why community, coaching, therapy, and professional guidance are essential — not optional — during high-stress seasons. 🏃🏾‍♀️ Holistic Menopause Support Hormonal and non-hormonal options, supplements, acupuncture, movement, strength training, and nervous-system regulation tools. 🤝 Community, Connection & Leadership Health How isolation impacts women post-COVID and why in-person networking and aligned support systems matter more than ever. 💛 Mental Health Without Shame Breaking cultural taboos around counseling, emotional support, and asking for help as a high-capacity woman. 🌱 Balance, Faith & Identity Michelle shares how faith, prayer, and self-compassion shape her leadership and coaching philosophy.
