Episode 1. It can't be menopause, I'm not ready yet!
Nicky joins me to discuss her journey of discovery, from denial around her symptoms and the awareness that this is peri-menopause - to her acceptance and taking back control.
Like many women in their 50's peri-menopause was not openly discussed and so there was a sense of stigma and a misunderstanding around what it all meant. So when Nicky went to counselling for what she describes as a total loss of confidence and feeling of not really knowing herself anymore, the counsellor suggested it might be menopause. This was a real shock for Nicky who didn't feel ready for this change and wasn't sure what it would mean for her future.
Nicky talks about her own experience with depression and the sense of grief that she went through around her own loss of self and hopes, how she overcame this, and is now a trained counsellor helping women to find their own confidence.
