Listen Later

In this episode, Beth speak’s to a panel of women sharing their experiences, thoughts, feelings, facts and knowledge on menopause. We hear from Liz McCulloch, a GP with a specialist interest in Aesthetic Medicine, PMS and Menopause health, she is also the Medical Director mSkin with her own practice as well as practicing at The Montefiore Hospital and as an Associate at the International Centre for Hormone Health in Harley Street, London. We’re joined by Emma Fullwood, a middle age awakening coach - helping busy, worn out women go from just “fine” to blooming marvellous. And Sarah Rudder, Coach, facilitator and author who is changing lives with her work in mental toughness. 

Alongside these incredible women, Beth delves into the language used around menopause, in how we frame it in society, education, with our networks and indeed to ourselves. Why so many of us seem to enter into menopause without eyes wide shut, and what strides are happening to improve this as well as discussions on: 

  • Choosing the right path for you “It really is about weighing what the quality of life is right now” 
  • Defining symptoms “was it menopause or was it something else” Taking control of your health “I’ve re-educated myself - I’m not a robot I’m a woman” 
  • Reaching out for help “you don’t have to put up and deal with it” 
  • Pressure on society and ourselves “superwoman complex” 
  • Difficult journeys “In the last 8 years i’ve seen 4 specialists” 
  • Success stories “They’ve got a little bit of the old version of themselves back” 
  • Plus there’s your It Takes Tits power roundup at the end to help you get your own show on the road…

Until then, whether it’s your day, your to do list, the glass ceiling or the patriarchy...go smash it.” - Beth
