Michelle Griffith-Robinson | Olympic Resilience, Menopause and Everyday Strength | Ep. 11 Part 1

What happens when an Olympic athlete faces menopause — and discovers that movement, mindset, and resilience are her greatest medicines?

Former Olympian and menopause ambassador Michelle Griffith Robinson tells Yalda how she turned pain into power, from competing on the world stage to helping women thrive through midlife.

In this powerful conversation, Yalda and Michelle explore what it truly means to stay strong, physically and mentally, through life’s biggest transitions. Michelle shares her journey from Olympic sport to midlife empowerment, revealing how she overcame joint pain, embraced HRT, and even reversed prediabetes through lifestyle and movement. Together, they discuss why strength matters more than size, the importance of advocating for your health, and how just five minutes of daily movement can transform your body and mind.
