World Menopause Day Bonus Ep! Family Action asked me to record a special episode to be part of their WMD initiative

This is a special episode of BMO. I was approached by an amazing organisation, Family Action, who help to transform lives by providing practical, emotional and financial support to those experiencing poverty, disadvantage and social isolation across the country.


They asked me to be part of their World Menopause Day and I leapt at the chance.


1 in 10 women leave their jobs because of their menopause symptoms. That’s a truly shocking statistic and I’m sure that the majority of those would have stayed if they’d had the right support at work.


That’s why I’m so thrilled that Family Action have chosen to highlight the importance of understanding the Menopause and helping their staff navigate it. In this episode I’m joined by colleagues Nicola and Sue to talk about their experiences.


They've both gone down the non HRT route to deal with their symptoms but from very different starting points.
