Our guest this week is Life coach and lead voice in Black maternal health Mars Lord
Mother to five, Mars, describes herself as a B-abe I-n T-otal C-ontrol of H-erself (did you work it out yet?) Mars expresses her joy at being able to turn to her best friend Maisie who knows a thing or two about hormones (having written two books about it) Mars takes us through her introduction to peri-menopause and its challenges with an unparalleled humour.
We discuss:
- Misconceptions and misinformation.
- Advocating for her health at the GP
- A new life in a new town
- Ageing and wisdom
- What she won’t sacrifice for menopause…yet.
And much more!
Notes:
