Thelma is a former celebrity publicist and has spent the past ten years as a women's health coach, encouraging black women and women of colour into deep, radical nourishing self and health care. Thelma sees ageing as a plus and something that makes us "extra wise, seasoned, and spicy - let's face it nobody wants to be bland and boring." She is adamant that we don't have to experience Menopause the way our mothers did and she can't wait to show the world that ageing never looked so good. In this episode, we cover so much ground and have a good giggle: Thelma shares her Perimenopause experiences in depth, how you get to know yourself and your body really well through this stage of life, how stress can manifest itself and trigger Menopause symptoms, plus representation, food and culture and how it may be worth it to try, try and try again when it comes to HRT. "You can't out HRT bad lifestyle choices." You can find Thelma on Instagram @after9lifestyle & on her website https://after9lifestyle.com
