"I'm flooding! Who floods? Am I dead!?"

Our guest this week is Life coach and lead voice in Black
maternal health Mars Lord


Mother to five, Mars, describes herself as a B-abe I-n T-otal
 C-ontrol of H-erself (did you work it out yet?) Mars
expresses her joy at being able to turn to her best friend Maisie
who knows a thing or two about hormones (having written two books
about it) Mars takes us through her introduction to
peri-menopause and its challenges with an unparalleled humour.


We discuss:


Misconceptions and misinformation.

Advocating for her health at the GP

A new life in a new town

Ageing and wisdom

What she won’t sacrifice for menopause…yet.



And much more!
