Menopause Whist Black Season SIX Episode 1! We're BAAAAACK! 


Our guest this week is @theKarenArthur - ex teacher and fashion
designer, now broadcaster and founder of this podcast
@menopausewhilstblack . Yes it's me! 


Here's my bio:


"Karen Arthur is a Black woman with a powerful story to tell.
From an unexpected and unplanned departure from her teaching
career, brought on breakdown triggered by her menopause, she
reemerged. 


Karen had help through therapy to unpack a long abusive
relationship, grief, anxiety and depression and a deep loss of
self, to become a fashion designer, model, menopause diversity
campaigner and positive ageing advocate". 


Episode one of this brand new season is hosted by previous guest
Creative coach, speaker and artist Adah Parris. 


We talk about:


Anxiety, Depression and menopause - a surprising triple
threat

The liberation that arrived when learning to set boundaries
> Growing up Black in white spaces

The futility of trying to fit in

Vulnerability as the ultimate strength.



…and so much more.


Adah truly went above and beyond with her questions, and the
result is a wonderfully frank mix of wisdom and laughter.

research.
