Dr. Béatrice Séguin, PhD
Founder and #TTOMPodcast host Dr. Béatrice Séguin, PhD built Estra Media and the #TTOMCommunity because of her own journey through (peri)menopause. Although each of our stories is unique, she realized that she wasn't alone and that many women were feeling the same but that there was a lack of accessible resources to support us through what is supposed to be the most powerful time in our lives.
We can support each other and we can redefine the narrative surrounding aging and beauty - and menopause.
