S5, Ep 3 Best Friend Therapy: Menopause - Is it an ending or a new beginning? How can we tune in to our bodies? What help is out there?

Update: 2023-07-03

Description

This week we're talking all things menopause.

Emma and Elizabeth share their journeys so far, through the wild ride that is peri-menopause, and look at the good (no longer doing things you don't want to do), the bad (next-level anxiety) and the ugly (who knew anyone could sweat this much?).

Menopause has gone from being the taboo of previous generations, to a subject discussed openly in mainstream media and we wanted to celebrate this transition into a new stage of womanhood - one that is as much about acceptance as it is change.

Whether you're directly affected by menopause or not, we hope this conversation offers you insight into listening to your bodies and growing through change.
