Today we’re joined by an extraordinary guest—Tatum, a true warrior who has faced and navigated menopause not once, not twice, but three times!

Tatum has been a cancer survivor for over 10 years and shares with us what each menopause has brought with it: the challenges and lessons learned. Her invaluable insights, alongside realistic expectations and what she’s discovered along the way, leave us with one important message: You are not broken!

This conversation is all about resilience, hope, and empowerment. And to honour Tatum’s journey, I’ll also be reading a special poem that reminds me of her.

So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and join us for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation with life lessons of a three-time menopause warrior. Let’s dive in!
