We were so excited to have our first period back in middle school but instantly regret it when we finally experienced it. Some women never had a heads up or had a “the period talk” during puberty. As a result, young women walk blindly, treading through their periods by taking temporary fixes without knowing how it will impact their long term health.
In this episode, Donna and Renee are joined by Vicki Crowley Browne, a professional Beautician, a Brow & Lash educator, and a delighted Key for Her customer. They talked about prioritizing your menstrual health and how to bleed with ease. Vicki shared how she used to suffer from PMS, which made her daily routines difficult and affected people around her, especially her family. Luckily, Key For Her supplements helped her achieve worry-free and hormone-free menstrual cycles, and she is now living the best life she could have.
Do you also suffer from PMS? Start your journey to a healthy and happy menstrual life by listening to this episode today!

Many people go through life without ever taking the time to self-reflect and become aware of their own values. As a result, they may find themselves in mid-life crisis mode, feeling unfulfilled and unsure of who they are or what they want in life. Self-awareness is especially important for women who are facing perimenopause or menopause, because these life transitions can bring about physical, emotional, and mental changes that can be difficult to navigate without a clear understanding of yourself.
In this episode, we are joined by Nicola Connolly Byrne - a personal empowerment specialist and TEDx speaker. She is the founder of the Nicola Connolly Byrne platform and Soul Chats podcast. Nicola was raised in a difficult environment, but took steps from a young age to make sure she would not have the same challenges in her adulthood. Now, Nicola is devoted to helping people be themselves, overcome their past, and live their best lives.
Like Nicola, you too can also use self-awareness to begin working through your pain in a safe and supportive environment to move towards a better life. Understand your challenges in order to begin healing the wounds your past has left behind.

Have you ever heard about perimenopause? Perimenopause means "around menopause". This refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years. Perimenopause is also called the menopausal transition.
In this episode, Renée O'Shaughnessy, co-host of The Key For Her Podcast, and co-founder of Key For Her talks about her journey on perimenopause at 37 years old. At first, she thought what was happening to her body was something normal but as the days passed by, she had a feeling that it was different.
Renée shares the things she went through during perimenopause and solutions that helped her. Many women don’t know what to expect and how to handle this stage of womanhood.
This episode will help not only women but also men to be enlightened about what women go through at this stage in their lives. Understanding and helping each other is essential. Being informed about women’s health is important to end the stigma. Listen now and know more about Renée’s story.
