Next Episode: "Dancing kept me sane. I dance like a hippie whenever I can!"

Our guest this week is Karen Mannion, The Health Creator.

Karen is a former PA who now helps women with hormone health issues confidently navigate peri-menopause. Karen is of Ghanaian heritage raised partly in Ghana and mostly in London, United Kingdom. Her trials, from reconnections with her biological family, to a diagnosis of Adenomyosis and Fibroids and the ensuing treatment by medical professionals, are harrowing. But Karens story is one of ultimate triumph and a testament to the woman she has become today, helping other women to feel supported and empowered.

We discuss,

Culture and being 'othered'. What good workplace support looks like Adenomyosis symtoms Fibroids and surgical menopause Bossing her hormones The power of dense nutrition

And so much more!
