“I Thought I Was Going To Self-combust On The Dance Floor!”

Menopause Whist Black Season 5 Episode 10! 


The Finale!


Our guest this week is Dr Zandile Ndlovu @zandi__ndvolu.
Zimbabwean, Dr Zandile Ndlovu is the daughter of political
activists who fled Rhodesia in the sixties. Zandie worked in
D&I within the financial sector before bringing her
considerable expertise and passion for equity and equality to her
current role as Head of Consulting of an award-winning HR
advisory firm.  She was recently awarded her doctorate
(WOOP!) which explores the phenomenon of ‘inclusion’ in order to
create organisational cultural shifts.


Zandi thought she had dodged a peri-menopause bullet for a few
years until she found herself developing obvious symptoms -
especially the dreaded hot flushes. But it was at a party where a
friend mentioned how she was managing her own menopause that
Zandi started to take steps towards her own care. 


‘Zandi’  offers some insight into her menopause experience
touching on the following topics:




The validation in seeing herself reflected back on TV




Reconciling childlessness and perimenopause




Speaking up and the power of sisterhood




Private vs NHS menopause care




Her unexpected love of running.




…and so much more.


Zandi celebrates herself in such a beautifully joyful way. We
hope that you’ll be encouraged to tangibly big yourself up
regularly too!


This episode is available to watch on YouTube and listen on
iTunes, Spotify, Amazon or wherever you get your aural
candy. If Zandi’s story or any of the previous episodes
resonate with you, don’t forget to share with others who may
benefit! 


You can also leave a comment or positive review on your chosen
platform as this goes a long way to getting us to the people who
need these words. 


We’ll be back with Season SIX after a well deserved break. Keep
talking, lovelies. Let’s normalise menopause
everywhere!
