Fixing menopause

Life - An Inside Job

02/15/23 • 60 min

5.0

This episode focussed on debunking the narrative that claims menopause is a deficiency that requires fixing with oestrogen, instead of a normal, healthy life event that ushers us into a vibrant, engaged maturity. I feel that if menopause is asking us to love ourselves better, to deepen our relationship to ourselves, then HRT can really help with that, allowing us to put ourselves first. But though HRT can be a lifesaver, when it’s used for a long time to continue to push through when our resources are already depleted, without making any lifestyle changes, it is just saving up problems for later.
Rachel Lankester, midlife disruptor, author of Magnificent Midlife, founder of The Mutton Club and host of Magnificent Midlife podcast explores:

The faulty menopause research that’s endlessly repeated
What symptoms HRT is helpful for
The latest research into HRT and dementia
Menopause and mental health
Why language matters
Rachel’s new project MenoClarity that’s offers free-to-access clear information and evidence-based research

Inside the unseen with photographer Rosie Barnes

Life - An Inside Job

12/07/22 • 47 min

I first came across Rosie Barnes's photography through her exhibition ‘No you’re not’ a striking series of portraits and statements from autistic women who have been successful in academia and business. Two images from this series have been included in the prestigious Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Gallery in London. Rosie is a documentary and fine art photographer with a particular interest in our relationship with the natural world. She also makes work about disability, difference, community and family. She has exhibited internationally, most recently in Sweden and China and has been commissioned by the Guardian, the FT, and the Wellcome Collection, amongst others.

We talk about her work and the images of autistic women, the value of shyness, Rosie’s route into photography, her funny, haunting work around nature and our relationship to it, what it’s like to see her work exhibited on a huge scale, and Rosie’s fascinating project to create a truly integrated, community housing project.

Inside Wise Power with Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer

Life - An Inside Job

09/14/22 • 61 min

In this very special episode, after a year or more of nudging I have persuaded my teachers Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer of Red School to come along and talk about their wonderful new book Wise Power: Discover the Liberating power of menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging. It’s published by Hay House and you can pre-order now and get your hands on an actual copy on the 22nd of September.

It’s a grand, trailblazing guide to menopause, filled with nourishing wisdom to help you thrive as your empowered, confident self through this transition and into Second Spring. I was lucky enough to read an early copy and it reframes menopause with great clarity and precision, giving you a clear and grounded psycho-spiritual path to plot your way through the storms.

I ditched all the boring questions authors get asked and dug into what I really wanted to know to give you the exclusive, inside story on Wise Power. You won't hear this anywhere else!
The free, Wise Power Retreat is to be found at www.wisepowerretreat.com
All of Red School’s courses and resources and their fabulous menstruality leadership program is available at https://www.redschool.net/
