We’ve got a great #PeopleFixingTheWorld this week, where @MyraAnubi hears all about how women are helping each other with the #menopause & #perimenopause - a subject that’s still not talked about in many places…
Let's talk about #Menopauseāœ‹šŸ¾ I had the most insightful time speaking to @RachelWeiss about something that will affect more than half the world's population but one that most don't understand. But @Menopause_Cafe is getting people to talk openly about it: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0fkd0…
