In this episode, I’m doing something a little different.

I’m sharing real stories of who I met, what went on in our menopause after cancer community, and real experiences of what menopause after cancer actually feels like. The parts that often go unspoken.

• I mull over if menopause after cancer needs a rebrand?
• What does it mean to set realistic expectations?

And alongside that, I’m answering your questions.

From hair to how long does menopause last to GLP-1’s and risk — this is a space to bring it all together.

Because so often, we’re told what should happen…

but not what it really feels like to live through it.

And because sometimes the best meaning advice is hard to implement for yourself - right at the end, I’m reading a beautiful poem to you by Jeff Foster - it’s called: Slow Down Friend.

You’re not alone in this. And there are ways to feel better.
