In episode 2 of our new series, we will be spilling the tea on topics that affect our health and well-being from the extra-ordinary women that are raising their voices for positive change. This week as it is the start of Menopause awareness month we get back together with a dear friend of the podcast Dr Ginni Mansberg, author of the M Word how to Thrive in Menopause, and why she felt that the menopause landscape had changed so much since it was first published that she has updated it.We talk all things menopause and get your questions answered, on HRT intolerance, testosterone, brain fog, localised oestrogen, why we shouldn't be putting oestrogen gel on our faces, bladder incontinence, why your skin can get dry and itchy and the best products to use.We also discuss the 'menopause industry' and products that are now available on the market and why all is not what they seem with them.  It’s a reading week for our Book Collective this week. We are reading the first 6 chapters of our new book for series 11, All Fours by Miranda July. You can join in with our Book Club, send us a DM or voice note with your thoughts on the book. It’s another episode brimming with chat and all the usual sweary shenanigans! There’s comments, a WI (weekly invitation) and a thought for the week.So, go and get the kettle on and settle in for our weekly collective chat while we spill the tea!  If you’ve enjoyed our Podcast you may like to consider buying us a Ko-Fi at https://ko-fi.com/womenkindcollectivepodcastHere you can find updates, photos and some inclusive content we won’t post anywhere else and your donation will help us ensure we continue to bring you great quality of content and sound. You can watch the full unedited interview on our YouTube channel: Womenkind Collective. Dr Ginni Mansberg:Book: The M Word.
