  • It’s time to break the silence about menopause! For too long, this natural and inevitable stage in a woman’s life has been shrouded in secrecy and shame.

    Menopause can be an isolating and daunting experience for women, both physical and emotionally.  Brenda’s personal account of menopause, delivered with authenticity, vulnerability, and humour, offers invaluable guidance and support to women navigating this challenging time. Moreover, her presentation highlights the need for increased awareness and education surrounding menopause within society.

    The hush-hush culture surrounding menopause is doing a disservice to women everywhere. It’s time to shatter the taboo and start speaking openly about this transformative time. By sharing our experiences and supporting one another, we can create a more informed and confident community of women.  This is our change to make – let’s embrace it and start the conversation.
