To mark Menopause Awareness Month this October, we're delighted to be hosting a very special event with Davina McCall and Dr Naomi Potter. They will be chatting to consultant colorectal surgeon and founder of the Everywoman Festival, Julie Cornish, about their award-winning book, Menopausing.
“Menopausing is more than just a book, it’s a movement. An uprising. Menopause affects every woman, and yet so many approach it with shame, fear, misinformation or silence. Why is no one talking about this? Who has the correct information? And how can we get it? That’s how this book has come about. We are going to tell you the truth, so you can make an informed decision about your life and your body … mic drop.”
For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause – its onset, its symptoms, its treatments – and what it means for us. This book will build an empowered, supportive community to break this terrible silence once and for all. The book explores and explains the science, debunk damaging myths, and smash the taboos around the perimenopause and menopause, so women can make the most informed decisions about their health… and their lives.
Menopausing celebrates the sharing of stories, enabling women to feel less alone and more understood, and talk openly and positively about menopause. No more scaremongering: just evidence-based info. No shame: real women, real menopause stories, real empathy, real community. Honest, no-holds-barred advice: Dry vagina? Zero sex drive? Hair loss? We’ve got it covered.
The start of a movement: to get everyone talking about the menopause in every home, GP surgery and workspace.
Hundreds of women. No more shame.
