Our guest this week is founder of menopause support group Sister2SisterBU, Marcia Jones.
58 year old Londoner with Jamaican and Bajan heritage, Marcia is a people gatherer who loves her life and it shows! Marcia takes us through her life from a shy, introverted teenager to the self aware woman of faith that she is now. Peri-menopause left her confused with its physical and mental symptoms but, with a switch to a listening GP and self-curated care she is now a post-menopausal gentle force.
We discuss,
> Self compassion and self belief.
> The deafening silence of our elders.
> Not all GPs are the same.
> 'Sisteraderie'!
> Diet tweaks that work
And much more!
