I had a fantastic conversation with Donna Mackenzie-Smyth about her experiences of navigating menopause while recovering from a stroke.

We discussed the positives and negatives of those experiences and how she's had to adapt her life to her new needs while not letting anything stop her from being who she is and doing what she loves.

Donna has developed an artistic project called Scrapheap - made by and for women experiencing menopause to highlight some of the experiences that women go through, but may not discuss.

At the end of the video episode on YouTube, you will see some images that Donna and her photographer Laura Page developed for the project. You can view the video version of this episode at - https://youtu.be/MGLEf8DkfVc

You can learn more about Scrapheap on the website - http://www.scrapheap.info/ and connect with Donna over email at [email protected] to learn more about upcoming exhibitions and events.

I hope that you enjoy this episode.
