The Imperfect Brand

Dr Michelle Gordon, Founder of The Menopause Movement

An exciting episode this, with a twist. I'm chuffed to be joined by Dr. Michelle Gordon, entrepreneur, author, former surgeon and founder of The Menopause Movement. Dr Gordon (Dr. G to friends) has one mission - to help women create a life they love, by demystifying the menopause and tackling this transformation with a positive mindset. Now Dr. G has taken the choice to move beyond just helping women with the menopause to start supporting overworked and exhausted high-achieving entrepreneurial professionals of any gender with a brand new cohort-based coaching course.
