Since becoming a health and wellbeing coach, I have been fortunate enough to attend training and events that highlight the importance of understanding the menopause journey. In addition as part of my role I have been able to talk to women and in talking with my own mother more I have learned just how difficult it is to face these conditions in day to day life. It is something that is a taboo subject amongst everyday conversation and I think moving forward we need to drop the taboo to allow people to feel heard and inclusive in the adversity they face.
