SPEAKER: Jessica Waugh

SPEAKER TOPIC: From Pause to Power: Turning Menopause Into Your Empowerment Era!

SPEAKER BIO:

Jessica Waugh is a Certified Menopause Specialist, Lifestyle Practitioner, and National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach with over half a decade of experience guiding women through the complexities of perimenopause. Her mission is deeply personal, inspired by her own experience with very early-onset perimenopause and the lack of support she faced along the way. That journey drives her passion to ensure no woman feels dismissed or alone during this transition. Jessica specializes in rewiring the habits that hijack hormones, helping women break free from patterns of self-sacrifice and exhaustion so they can step into the fullest version of themselves—not who they became for others, but who they were always meant to be. Blending root-cause science with compassion and actionable strategies, Jessica empowers women to embrace this phase of life with clarity, resilience, and unwavering confidence—transforming menopause from a source of frustration into an era of empowerment.
