Midlife Messy and Marvellous

News Anchor Gillian Joseph Talks About Her Crazy Menopause Symptoms!

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.
