We are excited about our guest this week, Victoria Hardy AKA ginge_unhinged, in this episode Victoria talks to us about her medical and surgical menopause in her early 30’s. She is a conversationalist of taboo, an upcoming author of a self-help memoir, and a menopause advocate and mentor. Which is how we met her, along with fellow menopause campaigners and activists we all came together at Parliament Square for the menopause rally in October.Victoria is shouting loud for Millennials so they can truly own their individual Menopause. She tells us about her Medical & Surgical Menopause at age 33. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious and we feel she speaks for all ages in menopause. We discuss mental health and the importance of ‘the now’, how simple yet hugely effective mindfulness can be (and how to start).Victorias message is one of empowerment and she challenges women to look within to understand their true selves. Knowing that they too can change the narrative of Menopause for generations to come, whilst stepping into their own kind of fierce!
