Fiona Clark - Menowars - How Menopause's moment went wrong

<div class="MuiBox-root css-4cps79"> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"> <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Fiona Clark is a massively well-respected voice in the Menopause world.</span> <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #0a479a; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> She is a journalist and health writer, now with more than 20 years' experience in writing for publications that go to medical practitioners as well as consumers.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"> <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #0a479a; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> She is also the founder of Harley Street Emporium, a practice that focuses on evidence-based information for women in menopause and health in general.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"> <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #1f3864; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Her new book, 'Menowars' grabbed me by the title because I discovered it at the exact time where I had had enough of the division in the Menospace. When I started the podcast in October 2021, it was a welcoming, ‘come on board and join us all to help one another’ kind of a vibe. Over the past 5 years it has split, sometimes quite viciously, into exclusive camps.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"> <span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #1f3864; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Just opening Menowars,<span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> the subheading of ‘Why menopause’s moment has gone wrong & how you can navigate your way through it’ had me hooked.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Today, Fiona and I discuss ( and laugh about) the complexities surrounding menopause, including the need for better education and awareness among healthcare professionals and the public. We explore the emotional and physical challenges women face during this transition, the importance of understanding heart health specific to women, and the necessity of open conversations about women's health issues. Fiona shares her personal experiences (also with some hilarity!) with healthcare and emphasises the need for advocacy and better resources for women navigating menopause.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 00:00Introduction to Menopause and Its Challenges</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 05:22The Need for Education and Awareness</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 10:51Understanding Menopause Guidelines and Research</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 16:38Heart Health and Women: A Critical Discussion</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 22:03Personal Experiences with Healthcare</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 27:45Mental Health and the Emotional Journey of Menopause</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 33:12The Importance of Open Conversations</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 38:58Conclusion and Resources for Women</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">You can find Fiona on IG @fiona_clark_writes and <a title= "Menopause Research & Education " href="https://mref.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://mref.uk</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">and you can find Menowars here: <a href= "https://www.amazon.co.uk/Menowars-menopauses-horribly-navigate-through/dp/1399827340/ref=sr_1_1?crid=WT1YMZ9Q95XZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CfTP5JalmEMERk5rG4s0EcB-bsjY3xzHUFvFBvpnlxmlqhoRDOUGXzQEBeT9byJM.NHeWmv1xiHO-YH-CxA7xyjkFPPQzQx51H2D-5lBU56I&dib_tag=se&keywords=menowars+fiona+clark&qid=1760972365&sprefix=menowar%2Caps%2C95&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MENOWARS</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Drop me a line to discover more about my coaching - there are only 2 spots available for 2025 in my Strength, Nutrition & Menopause Coaching so get in touch fast. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><a href="mailto:hatty@realmenopausetalk.com"> hatty@realmenopausetalk.com</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Thank-you for listening, I look forward to seeing you in the next episode.</span></p> </div>

Sam Fitzgibbons - Unf*ck Menopause - Shadow Work, Therapy & Freeing Yourself

<p>Sam Fitzgibbons and I met over Instagram through the weird and wonderful web of algorithms. For some intangible reason, I was instantly drawn to her and once we started actually talking, it was clear why. </p> <p>Sam is a Spiritual Shadow Coach. I'll let her explain what that means in this episode. What I will tell you is that she is so comfortable to be with, she imparts knowledge in a very down-to-earth manner and what she says simply makes sense. </p> <p>Perimenopause has a way of shining a light on all the aspects of ourselves that we really need to address - past trauma, shame, the stories we have created for ourselves, our sense of self - and some of these can often bring up more questions than we began with. Who am I? What do I do next? How do I find my purpose? All of which are questions very close to my own heart and ones I struggled with for a while too. I am happy to say, there are answers to all of these and when you get clear on them, you feel like a brand new person - actually, that's not quite accurate: you feel like yourself, just gleaming bright and brilliant as you were meant to be. </p> <p>Sam and I discuss HRT, how issues can show up, where to begin, what used to work and what works now and so much more.</p> <p>Look Sam up, @theshadowandtheself <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/theshadowandtheself/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unfu*k Menopause</a></p> <p>And get in touch with me about Performance & Life Coaching to get unstuck and live life in true technicolour. <a href= "mailto:hatty@realmenopausetalk.com">hatty@realmenopausetalk.com</a></p> <p>Thank you for listening! I look forward to seeing you in the next episode. xoxo</p>
