March is known as “Women’s month” and this episode of the Prosperous and Happy Life podcast is devoted to women and their health. It’s a great follow-up to our last podcast on women and their wealth, I hope you’ll listen to both.

In my book, The Black Belt Investor, chapter 6 (or the Blue Belt chapter) is dedicated to a healthy mind in a healthy body.  In this podcast, I chat with Marie-Josée Bourassa.  She has dedicated her professional life as nurse clinician to helping women, especially women in mid-life, lead a vibrant healthy life.

For the last 25 years she has worked with female healthcare providers and has led many projects affecting patient access and optimization of healthcare services.

She is also the 2021 recipient of the Healthcare Leadership Award, the Jeanne Mance Award of the Regional Order of Nurses (ORIIML).

In 2023, Marie-Josée decided to fulfill a dream and opened the Meno-Joie clinic in Montreal, to help women suffering through the transitions of their menopause.
