Meet Kate Oakley! Personal Trainer and Menopause Warrior🤩.
Kate Oakley had a job she loved for over 20 years -- Director of HR for a Global Company. She never understood people who had those feelings of dread on a Sunday... she enjoyed her job, she was great at it! Until one day she DID have that feeling of dread and she knew she had to make a change. Not only did Kate have to make a change with her career, she realized she had to make a change with her health as well. Why? Because perimenopause symptoms were creeping in and she was starting to feel like a stranger to the woman she had always been:
The mood swings were the straw that broke the camel’s back. Kate felt out of control, and If she didn't do something quickly to solve her issues, she wondered long her husband and kids would put up with her. Plus, life wasn’t much fun and Kate had always been the person who was on the move! Planning trips with her family, being social, etc.
SOUND FAMILIAR TO ANY WOMEN OUT THERE IN PERIMENOPAUSE OR MENOPAUSE?
Instead of sitting back and letting PERI take over, Kate threw herself into researching all things menopause -- she learned what types of exercise she should be doing – for short and long-term health, she learned how and why to adapt her nutrition, manage stress better and prioritize sleep. She also did her due diligence in researching HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and after much consideration, started taking it and while the impact wasn't instantaneous, she started to feel "normal" again (after about 4 months). Her body AND her mind had changed for the better in a truly amazing way -- she felt back in control.
So while the road getting to Kate's "second act" wasn't easy, she is actually thankful to perimenopause, because without it, she wouldn't have made the huge decision at aged 50, to leave her 25-year corporate career behind to follow her love for fitness and become a Personal Trainer to women in the second half of their lives!
