A 46 year old female friend said this weekend ‘My periods were still normal, I wasn’t having hot flushes and so these feelings of low mood, anxiety can’t be about the menopause, can they?’
Given that recent House of Commons findings say that 80% of women experience some form of symptoms around the menopause, it’s likely that you will.
Menopause shows up in different ways for each of us, and arrives at different times in our lives. The good news is that we’re talking about it. And even more good news is that there’s more research, and solutions to support women (and men) along this transition.
For many, they see this time as a transition of femininity. When we move into the elder and wiser stages of our lives. When we’ve gathered decades of knowledge and experience in our being and are able to share this wisdom with our children’s children.
At Soulhub we wanted to take this Menopause Awareness Month, so share this wisdom from the eclectic mix of expertise we have across the team. Why, well because you’re uniqueness might require a very different approach to what you know or think would be your answer.
