In this candid podcast, Gillian Joseph from Sky News reflects on her struggle with getting medical professionals to acknowledge her perimenopause symptoms. Despite experiencing severe symptoms, doctors initially dismissed her - highlighting a common issue in women's health where symptoms of perimenopause are often overlooked or misdiagnosed*. Gillian also opens up about the loss of her mother, grief, the pressures behind her long career in journalism, reporting from a war zone, self-doubt and how faith & fitness helped redefine her midlife.[*Always advocate for yourself and seek proper doctor advice]==================================================CHAPTERS01:01 Turning 60 & Celebrating 35 Years in Journalism02:34 Perfectionism, High Standards & Self-Critique05:19 Sir Trevor McDonald and Representation on TV09:55 Reporting from Ukraine (and Telling the Family)13:48 War Zone Reality18:32 Faith & Prayer 20:28 Menopause Talk 26:04 Fitness & Mental Health in Midlife 35:21 Losing Her Mum & Living With Grief40:37 Legacy ================================================== CONNECT WITH MARVERINE📧 https://transformwithmarv.com/contact🌐 https://transformwithmarv.com/Get to know Marverine better💌My weekly email https://marverinecole.substack.com/📺My personal Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@MidlifeWithMarv☕️Grab yourself the official podcast mug while stocks last As Seen On TVhttps://transformwithmarv.com/midlife-messy-marvellous-mugIf you enjoyed this, why not buy me a coffee?https://buymeacoffee.com/midlifewithmarv==================================================CONNECT WITH GILLIANhttps://www.instagram.com/gillianjoseph101/?hl=enhttps://news.sky.com/author/gillian-joseph-979==================================================MUSIC CREDIT- Gavin Luke – The Power of One- baegel - Shibuya Bullet TrainAll music is courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com==================================================FAIR USE My videos may use snippets under the principles of fair use - as outlined in UK copyright law and international standards.
