In this unmasked, MUST listen episode of Snap Talk, I am joined by Xoli Madlala, internationally certified Menopause Coach, author of The Perimenopausal Globetrotter, TEDx speaker, and menopause policy advisor.
Xoli is on a mission to change the menopause narrative in South Africa and beyond, bringing this vital conversation out of the shadows and into every room, in every language.
Early menopause research recorded around 10 symptoms, recently over 100 menopause symptoms have been recorded. Xoli unpacks the most common ones, as well as the various stages of menopause. Vital facts most women are never taught, and why this is the #1 health, workplace, and societal issue we should all be invested in, in South Africa right now.
From boardrooms to rural communities, Proudly South African, Xoli shares why she desires to make menopause education accessible across all our languages and cultures, ensuring no woman is left behind, including those most often overlooked or forgotten.
This conversation is a reminder of the power of shared knowledge, lived experience, and the importance of making space for every woman’s journey, regardless of where you are right now
Share this episode with every woman in your life so that together we change the South African narrative and ensure that no woman feels alone, vulnerable, unseen, and unheard.
