Today I chat to Karen Arthur, a multifaceted artist, broadcaster, and menopause diversity advocate.
Karen discusses her journey from teaching to becoming an ‘accidental activist’ and a voice for diverse British menopausal experiences through her podcast ‘Menopause Whilst Black‘.
She shares how her personal struggles with mental health led to her speaking out about her own experience of menopause, and becoming her most honest and liberated self.
We delve into the importance of normalising menopause conversations beyond the stereotypical images and we talk about the positive shifts that are happening within the current generation of midlife and older women.
It’s a really joyful and empowering episode. You’ll love Karen and you’ll love this conversation.
