This episode was recorded over 3.5 years ago but it's still as relevant as ever.
I speak to Menopause coach and author, Catherine O’Keeffe, known online as Wellness Warrior.
When I recorded this conversation, I was 41 and hoping to have another baby. Now, I’m 45 and I'm very fortunate to have 2 young kids but I’m also now in perimenopause and listening to this chat once again, I took so much from it.
So I’ve been experiencing things like changes to my period and brain fog and a number of other typical symptoms for about 6-8 months now and this pod is full of information as Catherine delves into the physical, mental and emotional aspects of perimenopause and it’s a must listen!
Menopause is such a complicated and sensitive topic and the experience of it is so different for every woman.
