This week Nicola and Di chat with the remarkable and inspiring Dr. Ginni Mansberg. Dr. Ginni has been a practising GP for almost 30 years, and she has a special interest in menopause, which led her to write her bestselling book - The M Word: How to Thrive in Menopause. She also has a graduate diploma of journalism and makes regular appearances on TV - our Australian listeners may know her from her work on Sunrise, Embarrassing Bodies Down Under and Medicine or Myth. As if that wasn’t enough, Dr. Ginni is also the founder of a cosmeceutical skincare company, Evidence Skincare, and a workplace training company called Don’t Sweat It - Menopause in the Workplace. Not to mention, she is also mum to 6 children.
In this conversation Dr. Ginni shares so much wisdom about tools that women can use to improve their menopause experience so they can really thrive. She gives us the facts on HRT, talks to us about what you can do if sex has become uncomfortable (which is the case for many women going through menopause), and shares some great tips for how to communicate better with your partner and loved ones during this time.
Dr. Ginni also opens up about what her experience of divorce and being a single mother was like, and how she found love again. She talks about the importance of developing self-compassion, and teaches us about acceptance and commitment therapy - you won’t want to miss this!
We could have spoken to Dr. Ginni for hours. She was wonderfully motivating and inspiring and we are so grateful to be able to share this episode with you. We hope you enjoy it.
