In this Episode I introduce our first male guest to the Series in the shape of my husband Jonny. We talk about everything from my journey with perimenopause and periods, male attitudes and experiences, sex, breaking taboos in the workplaces and where Menopause sits in the world of men
This Episode is the last in Series 1 and I hope you have enjoyed meeting all my guests and listening to our chats. For me it’s been an absolute joy to share these conversations and hope that they are bringing some comfort, laughter to women and helping others learn more about how Menopause can be. We’ve covered a lot from the warrior of self-care in Episode 1 to the quiet bravery of Episode 8, we’ve talked brain fog, HRT, sex and said the word VAGINA A LOT. I have learned so much from all of my ‘changers’ and I cannot wait to continue this journey with you in Series 2.
Series 2 will be out on the 24th, bringing you more beautiful chats including Kate Duffy and Samantha Evans as seen on Davina’s documentary Sex Myths and Menopause, the wonderful Liz and Clare from the Know Your Menopause campaign and the absolute unapologetic Amanda Thebe talking about her book Menopocolypse.
Have a wonderful few weeks and be unashamedly selfish when you need to be. Menopause and Perimenopause can be tough so make no apology for taking care of yourselves. As always there are great resources and websites to visit in the show notes and if you want to drop me a line and get involved then please do – I love to hear from you!
