    Know Your Pause: How Marcia Jones Turned a Front Room Gathering Into a Menopause Movement”

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Dez sits down with Marcia Jones, Founder and CEO of Sister2SisterBU, an Award-Winning Women’s Wellbeing community based in London. What started as a monthly gathering in her front room over two decades ago is now a thriving movement supporting midlife women across cultures through perimenopause, menopause, and everything in between. Marcia launched her Perimenopause and Menopause Support Group in October 2020, right in the middle of a global pandemic, because women needed a space where they felt seen, supported, and not alone. Today that group continues to grow, backed by funding and driven by Marcia’s no-nonsense approach to wellbeing, community, and transformation. In this conversation, Marcia talks openly about the symptoms nobody prepares you for, why the conversation around menopause is still not loud enough, and how her own journey including surviving breast cancer shaped the woman and the mission behind Sister2SisterBU. If you are in perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, this episode is essential listening. One flag worth noting: I cannot access the full depth of her LinkedIn profile without being logged in, so her specific qualifications and certifications beyond what is publicly indexed were not available.
