Redefining Menopause

Welcome back to the Rocking Midlife Podcast!

In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with London-based Rachel Lankester. Rachel is not just a fabulous author, (whose book is on the recommended New York Times list for books about menopause) but a mentor and podcast host of Magnificent Midlife, an online hub celebrating and empowering women in their 40s and beyond.

During our conversation, we discuss the negative perception about menopause held by so many in western cultures. Rachel shares how this isn't the case in other cultures and explains how we should instead embrace menopause as a natural phase of life and not an “illness” needing medical intervention. She also shares her journey through menopause, along with tips she has discovered from experience and research.

It's time to alleviate the anxiety associated with menopause and ageing, and celebrate this new season of life!
