Making Menopause Matter

Changing the Landscape

In this episode we consider what has changed as the result of the work and campaign activism of so many, over the past decade. We then look at what still needs to change to improve the menopause landscape further. I am delighted to be joined by my friend and fellow campaigner Fiona Clark for this episode. Fiona is a health journalist, author of Meno Wars and founder of the Menopause Research and Education charity, an organisation that I am proud to be a trustee of.   To learn more about MREF visit https://mref.uk/ To follow Fiona on Instagram @fiona_clark_writes To learn more about what we do at Menopause Support visit  https://menopausesupport.co.uk/ [https://menopausesupport.co.uk/] To get in touch email hello@menopausesupport.co.uk To follow Menopause Support on Instagram visit @themenopausesupport To learn more about the book that this podcast is based around visit  https://www.sheldonpress.co.uk/titles/diane-danzebrink/making-menopause-matter/9781399812672/ [https://www.sheldonpress.co.uk/titles/diane-danzebrink/making-menopause-matter/9781399812672/]

Menopause and Beyond

In this episode we focus on the often overlooked subject of menopause and beyond. The narrative around menopause has been, and often still is, negative, but with the right help and support, at the right time, it doesn't have to be that way. Menopause can be a transformational time that can offer an opportunity to reflect, take stock, consider the future and your own self care. If you have found yourself yearning for some calm, peace and relaxation or perhaps some time alone, this is the episode for you.  I am delighted to be joined by poet Becky Hemsley, who not only reads one of my favourite poems but also tells us about the inspiration for her poem.  To learn more about Becky https://www.beckyhemsley.com/ To follow Becky on Instagram @beckyhemsleypoetry To learn more about what we do at Menopause Support visit  https://menopausesupport.co.uk/ [https://menopausesupport.co.uk/] To get in touch email hello@menopausesupport.co.uk To follow Menopause Support on Instagram visit @themenopausesupport To learn more about the book that this podcast is based around visit  https://www.sheldonpress.co.uk/titles/diane-danzebrink/making-menopause-matter/9781399812672/ [https://www.sheldonpress.co.uk/titles/diane-danzebrink/making-menopause-matter/9781399812672/]
