Podcast #144 - Understanding Women's Health

In episode #144 of the Growth Series podcast, Angelika Christian, Strategic Partnerships & Propositions Manager at Accord Mortgages, welcomes Kelly Beaumont, Founder of Olive Avocado. In this episode, Angelika introduces a live recording from Accord’s 2026 International Women’s Day conference, bringing a powerful and thought-provoking conversation on women’s health.

This session offers a refreshing and honest look at a topic that still isn’t spoken about enough in professional environments. Kelly Beaumont opens up the realities of women’s health, challenging common misconceptions and highlighting just how much hormonal health can influence day-to-day life, both personally and at work.

Rather than overwhelming listeners with theory, the conversation focuses on building awareness and encouraging a shift in perspective. It explores why many experiences are misunderstood, why conditions often go undiagnosed for years, and why greater openness is essential across workplaces and industries.

There is also a strong practical thread running throughout the episode, with simple but impactful ways to better support overall wellbeing. From recognising the role of stress to rethinking everyday habits, the discussion offers accessible insights that can make a meaningful difference.

For advisers, leaders, and anyone working closely with people, this episode is a reminder that understanding individuals more deeply leads to better outcomes. It’s not just about knowledge, but about creating environments where people feel supported, understood, and able to perform at their best.
