Our First Minister has joined a growing list of high-profile women who have spoken out about the unspeakable – the menopause.
Nicola Sturgeon admits she felt ill at ease discussing the topic on The Shift – a podcast by journalist Sam Baker aimed at the over-40s – but has helped so many women by airing her views.
She said: “I’m so far out of my comfort zone in terms of the intensely personal nature of it and that tells me – no matter how far we have come along in this discussion – that we have a long way to go if someone like me still feels kind of uncomfortable with it.”
