The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Menopause Society officially designated October 18th as World Menopause Day and the month of October Menopause month. If you are a woman over 50, you’ve dealt with it in some way or another.
I spoke to Donna Klassen who is the founder of a website called LetsTalkMenopause.org. She, along with Christine Maginnis and Samara Daly founded the site to change the conversation about “the change.”
It offers information women need about the healthcare they deserve as many doctors are not educated on how to deal with women experiencing menopause. I interviewed Donna on my YouTube channel, which you can watch below. She explains in detail what their mission is.

Each episode features special guests who share their experiences of going through menopause themselves. Topics will explore aging in an anti-aging society, menopause in the workplace, increased menopausal anxiety & depression, race & gender in women’s health care, brain fog, painful sex & low libido, surgical and medical menopause, insomnia, and how it impacts relationships.
As serious as those topics are, the podcast will be full of humor as well as candor and courage. Some of the guests include Stacy London, journalist Tamsen Fadel, and Omisade Burney-Scott, creator of the Black Girl’s Guide to Surviving Menopause.

I could have used this information a few years ago. Well, maybe more than a few years ago…Sounds great.
I know how you feel. Many of us are moving into post-menopause but some of us still have the symptoms.
