Show Notes
Becks McCulloch is 46 and had perimenopause symptoms for 7 years before knowing what they were. She just suffered. I want to highlight at this point that Becks was 39 at the time of starting menopause. I often hear from women “I’m too young to be in menopause” and believe me, I thought that applied to me too! When you speak to someone who’s symptoms start in their late 30’s, it’s a bloody wake up call!
In this episode, we:
* compare symptoms and perimenopause experiences
* discuss the struggle to get motivated
* talk about feelings of isolation
* unpack the role of a menopause support coach
* decide if menopause is "trending"
Becks is a trained and practicing physiotherapist, an accredited Menopause Support Coach and helps other women going through perimenopause with her knowledge, skills and lived experience.
Wishing all the listeners a very Merry Xmas!
