My menopause is like whispers and shouts...sometimes it’s like a whirlwind!

In this episode Karen Arthur chats with Marilyn Fontaine (MJ) who is a formally trainer lecturer and NLP practioner. She is now an Artist, a trauma informed life coach specialising in helping creative trailblazers reach their infinite potential. MJ is the youngest in a big family of women of Dominican and Guadeloupean descent. Very much in touch with her bodily changes MJ talks openly about the many remedies she has tried to care for her menopause experience, some with varying degress of success and always with a disarming humour and self-knowledge.
