This is a really "live" episode for me as I work through my feelings of being a mother to teenagers as I go through the menopause.
It's a bit of a rant about the diminishing language that is used around women going through the menopause, in fact around women and hormones in general, as well of the complexities I am experiencing as I navigate mothering teenagers. There is a lot of diminishing language used around teenagers too and I am guilty of that as well. Perhaps I have more in common with my teenagers than I realise.
There is no manual for parenting or the menopause and I struggle sometimes. My main struggle is that I seem to have lost the filter that has kept me in check over the years and not everyone on the other end of my filter-less speak likes it. Losing this filter is also a result of the work I have done over the last 5 years and it seems my true self has a lot to say!!
It's one of the episodes where I process as I speak. It's a talk I needed to have with myself out loud and I hope it helps you too.
And in case you're wondering, I did apologise to the chair helper.
