We must ask ourselves, why is it that the biological and hormonal changes that happen to our bodies as we head into mid-life and beyond, is not a topic that widely or openly discussed?

Often hearing the words perimenopause and menopause, instantly bring feelings of dread and fear, without the slightest consideration of anything positive for about a decade, or even longer, due to the impending unpleasant experiences, that will bring us nothing but despair and misery, for many, many years.

No wonder we don’t talk about it!

Many of us feel prepared for our first period, but most of us are certainly not prepared for our last.

It’s time to change that.

This webinar aims to explore, discuss, and openly look at what to expect as we age, what changes our bodies go through, and how each of us can experience similarities, but our journey’s will be unique to us.

Barb will explore how being autistic/neurodivergent can bring a whole different experience from typical people, especially when we have sensory and neurological differences.

From the autistic/neurodivergent perspective, Barb examines how the more informed we are in what to expect and experience, can help reduce our anxiety and overthinking, allowing us to prepare for challenging times, recognise the signs and stages of change, and learn how to be kind to ourselves. We most certainly deserve that!

Perimenopause and menopause are a significant and natural part of life.

It can certainly be challenging at times, and one hell of a ride, so buckle up, as Barb takes you through the experiences of hot flashes, sweat-soaked sheets, the itchy skin, the foggy thinking and the 14-day floods, with a dash of spicy humour and optimism, that will prepare you for the next stage of life.

This event is certainly one you don’t want to miss!
