Episode description
My guest on today’s episode of Period Story podcast is Lorraine Candy, an award-winning journalist, editor and best-selling author. Her new book, What's Wrong With Me? 101 Things Midlife Women Need to Know is out on May 25th and available for pre-order now!
In this episode, Lorraine shares:
- How she realised the extreme anxiety, panic attacks, heavy periods and night sweats she was experiencing in her late 40s were actually symptoms of perimenopause
- The differences between Gen X, millennial and Gen Z women in how they approach menstrual and hormone health
- How she dealt with perimenopausal rage
- The identity changes that can happen in our 40s that enable us to choose how we want to be
- What she wants women in their 20s and 30s to know about perimenopause
- The importance of friendships
- And of course, the story of her first period!
Lorraine says that whatever age you are, it’s so important to check in on yourself everyday and ask yourself: ‘Do I want to do this?’, ’Is it serving me well?’, ‘How am I really feeling?’.
Thank you, Lorraine!
