S2 Episode 6 Part 1: Shared Stories in Menopause - Lyndal and Liz

Shared stories. Conversations. Connection. These things matter, which is why we’re sharing the stories of real women in this episode. 

Welcome to this episode of Midlife Unfiltered - a podcast about unapologetically embracing the Season of Me. 

In this episode, Anita is chatting with two women - Lyndal and Liz (both in their early 50s) - about their menopause transitions. We hear about the bits that were challenging, the sometimes surprising silver-linings, and so much more. 

Lyndal has gone through the menopause transition ‘naturally’ - without surgical intervention. Liz’s story is different - having had a partial hysterectomy and further surgery. Both women generously share their experiences with Anita and we are so grateful for their time and vulnerability. 

We’re so glad you’re here. It’s time to live life on your terms. It’s time for Midlife Unfiltered.

After listening to Part 1, be sure to check out Part 2 where Erica chats with 3 more women - Tina, Cynthia and Natalya - about their menopause transition stories.
