Show Notes

My guest for this episode to discuss her first adult book The Change is  feminist author in the Young Adult and children’s space, Kirsten Miller.

The Change is the story of three women in their Perimenopause who discover that the changes of reaching this age are also their Superpowers.

Life has become so quiet for Nessa since her husband died and her daughters left home that she starts to hear the dead. Jo channels her rage and the heat of her hot flashes and makes them her strength and Harriet is undergoing a very spiritual metamorphosis.

It’s Menopausal Super Hero’s to the rescue!

I loved the The Change and the re-framing of the symptoms of Perimenopause. It show-cases this transition as a time when we truly step into our power.

Join Kirsten and I as we discuss not only The Change but also:-

  • Kirsten's Perimenopause and the Superpower she discovered, running.
  • The Superpower of not giving a damn.
  • The stories we have been told about Menopause, to keep us in our place!
  • Kirsten's advertising background and the misogyny within the industry. 
  • The gender bias prompted by Kirsten's book choice Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. 
  • Kirsten and her periods and an indicator of her Perimenopause
  • How 'not giving a damn' is a real Superpower we should learn to harness.
