What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the journey that it took to get to where I am today. I had a career in the entertainment industry owning my own modeling agency in NYC and management company representing child models. I found myself going through perimenopause at around age 40 and visited multiple doctors and no answers were given, until finally one doctor, a pulmonologist, told me it might be hormones. I did a deep dive and it took me a few years to really help myself and realize what was happening. I kind of worked my way out of the entertainment business, and didn't know what I was going to do with my life, and I found the opportunity to become a menopause coach. I said, 'You know what? That's what I want to do. I didn't have the support that I needed when I was going through this, and no one could really help me, and I want to do that for other women when they feel the way I did.' I knew that this was my calling and wanted to help other women to know that they are not alone, and I've had my business up and running for a year and a half.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
You can have a career in a field that you love and help others as well
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
You too can have a successful career in this field as it is growing and allowing us women to feel better and get help
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I'm a new business owner and I'm ready to get out there and meet new clients and potential friends. I'm building my practice, so I don't have a full roster of clients all day long. I do a lot of networking, a lot of different coffees, I do collabs. The menopause movement, as we're seeing right now, wasn't really happening when I started going through perimenopause. Now menopause and perimenopause is becoming such a conversation that if you take care of women as a physician, you really should take that time to go and learn it on your own. It's becoming a point where it's going to start becoming your fault if you don't learn up on this stuff, because women deserve it. We, as women, have to keep advocating for ourselves and keep talking and really push for people to listen to us.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Being able to work hard and make a difference in the lives of other women is very important to me, in addition to my own healing and journey. I know we are stronger together. I really want to be that support for women, that bridge between doctors and patients. I want to help women when they feel the way I did, so they know they're not alone. In my personal life, I like to exercise, I like to do Pilates, I like to spend time with my friends, and I like to read a good book. I'm also involved in many charities in my free time including Cycle for Survival, Sunrise Day Camp where I'm on the committee, and the Ariel Center in Israel.
