We’re going back to basics so everyone is on board!Bron also shares her journey into menopause education, sparked by the needs of theCastlemaine community. With over seven years in her role, Bron has become a passionate advocate for empowering women through knowledge, connection and in building their menopause ‘toolkit’
The Pause is a powerful series from MainFM’s Lucy Armstrong and Kya Moore. Created in Central Victoria, Australia, it explores menopause through local stories, expert interviews, and community voices. Covering symptoms, HRT, mental health, relationships, and support, it aims to break taboos, share knowledge, and build solidarity. It’s not just for those experiencing menopause—it’s for partners, families, friends, and colleagues who want to understand and support the people they care about.
