The Merry Menopause Bookclub
Welcome to The Merry Menopause Bookclub podcast, I'm your host, Jo Fuller ACTP Accredited Coach specialising in Menopause. I created this podcast to explore the many facets of Menopause through literature and conversation.Each episode, I'll be discussing a book that resonates with our midlife experience, delving into the physical, emotional and social aspects of this stage of life. I'll be joined by a variety of authors who will share their personal stories and expert advice.. Whether you're just starting to experience Perimenopause or a few years into your Menopause journey, tune in for supportive and enlightening conversation. My goal is to make Menopause a little less miserable and a lot more Merry.So let's discover new perspectives and insights, find laughter and empathy, and gain a better understanding of our Menopause journey together. Jo
