We discussed how menopause can be a liberating and powerful time – “a truth serum, with rock salt in it,” is how Alice put it! We also chatted about how the menopause is perceived around the world. Did you know it’s referred to as a “second spring” in Japan?
Alice shared some of her top tips for travelling with the symptoms of menopause, and we talked about which countries would be good ‘medicine’ for certain menopausal symptoms.
We learned a lot, and we hope you did too.
Watch now on the Thelma & Louise Facebook Page.
As usual, we talked about the products and cultural snippets that are making life in lockdown bearable for us.
