Today is a special day. Not only is it my birthday (woohoo!!!!!!!), but I also have the absolute pleasure of speaking with the fabulous Louise from The M Word. I have wanted to get Louise on for ages, and the time has finally come!!!
The M Word is all about the menopause and, as Louise says on her website, she is ‘passionate about helping society understand the magnitude and mightiness of the menopause by talking about it’. She is ‘on a mission to revolutionise women’s experience of the menopause by educating those around them, both at home and in the workplace to ensure they don’t have to go it alone or suffer in silence any more’.
In this frank discussion we talk about whether the workplace is doing enough to support women get through this, and what can be done to make it less of a trauma.
Louise also talks about how she combines Solution Focussed Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy to help women ‘liberate themselves from the crippling effects of anxiety and negative thinking’ which so often surrounds the menopause.
This podcast is so important, for men, women, children to understand what the hell is going on with women’s bodies and minds during this time, and how we can navigate it together, without it being a taboo subject. Also look out for more information surrounding the menopause on World Menopause Day on 18th October. (Please excuse slight sound loss in areas due to disrupted internet).
