“I’m Out of Eggs And I’m Completely Out Of F*cks!”

Our guest this week is inspirational Coach and mentor, Karen
Charles @definitively_karen. Karen Charles is a Londoner with
Grenadian heritage and describes herself as an introvert everyone
thinks is an extrovert!


Karen and I have a rich conversation around the following:


The Pill, the Coil and losing touch with her monthly cycle.


Listening to her own body when it came to exercise needs.


Why investing in us and our wellbeing is so important. Especially
for Black women.


…and so much more.


Karen’s harrowing description of her first menopause symptom must
be heard by all and her final piece of advice on finding those
who champion you will hit some differently. 



This episode is available to watch on YouTube and listen on
iTunes, Spotify, Amazon or wherever you get your podcast fix.



If Karen’s story resonates with you please do share this episode
with others who may benefit from her words and advice.
