99 Upgrading the menopause conversation with Clarissa Kristjansson

Clarissa Kristjansson is a Mindfulness and Menopause expert, author of The Mindful Menopause, and host of the brilliant Thriving Thru Menopause podcast. She's on a mission to change the way women approach menopause and aging. The last time we got together, we had such a brilliant conversation, on her podcast, I just had to share her with you. We both get quite hot under the collar about a lot of the same issues.

We talk about:

• How Clarissa got so passionate about menopause
• Why it's so important to take a holistic approach to menopause
• The importance of mindfulness when it comes to a good menopause experience
• What annoys Clarissa about the prevailing narratives surrounding menopause
• The myths around menopause
• How women can be proactive and not just reactive about their menopause experience
• The use of data when it comes to menopause
• Understanding and contextualizing data presented
• Menopause at work
• Sexism and ageism and their insidious intersection
• The female brain drain in midlife
• Making work work better for women, especially older ones
• Clarissa's top tips for thriving through menopause
