Imagine a group of women chatting all things menopause. This is what we have for you today!
A very special episode with no script or agenda, just a shared passion to help more women power through and beyond menopause.
“You don’t have to suffer if you are struggling. It isn’t about getting that medal because you’ve managed it without HRT. You can go for help, even if it’s not HRT you want.”
— Nicola Mercer
“I did drink alcohol and I drank quite a lot because of some of the things that were happening to me in menopause. And I woke up one morning and that, oh God, I don’t feel very well. ”
— Sam Clark
“There’s still a lot of taboo and unfortunately there’s a lot of stigma in certain communities where women don’t want to open up and talk about it.”
— Shakira Taylor
We’re marking World Menopause Day 2023 by bringing you a very exciting and special coffee-style chat to help raise awareness and provide support. This week we’re doing something completely new in bringing you not just one guest but three, and you get them all at the same time! Sam, Shakira and Helen join host Nicola to chat all things menopause.
It is more important than ever that menopause becomes a normal and safe conversation to have - whether with your loved ones, your friends, or your work colleagues and manager. There is still a lot of stigma and fear attached to menopause and it's time we transform the beliefs and conversations we have about it, starting right here today!
During our chat we share:
What we learned about menopause growing up and how that’s affected our own beliefs about it.
Changes we’re making in how we talk about and share our own menopause journeys and challenges.
What we’ve experienced and learned navigating perimenopause and menopause.
What to look out for and why it’s not a one size fits all list of symptoms.
The importance of building mind body awareness.
How your confidence can be affected and different ways to support yourself and not let menopause take over who you are.
The huge impact making small habit changes has on how you feel.
Embracing the second half of your life rather than fearing it.
The importance of self-acceptance, compassion, and living intentionally.
