Moving Through Menopause

This episode I chatted with Tamar Challis, a qualified person centred counsellor and coach specialising in women’s mental health and managing life transitions such as divorce, menopause, redundancy and retirement.

I have had my challenges in coming to terms with my current life state and creating my new identity has been a process. We talk through the mental health challenges of the empty nest, work and relationship changes and how exercise among other things can reconnect us with our bodies. Menopause presents us all with a variety of challenges but it can be an opportunity to reinvent yourself and the good news is you don’t have to go it alone or suffer in silence. Put yourself to the top of the list and settle down with a cuppa or grab your ear pods and get in some steps.
