Women are suffering in silence during menopause and perimenopause - it needs to stop

Nine months until I turn 40 and I’m conscious of it.

I like getting older, in fact, I revel in it. More able to deal with any drama that lands on my desk. My son’s a teenager, so I have more free time. I have experience in most things and I’m less afraid to take risks. Only this morning I did my first ever radio show! But I am conscious of the years creeping up.

So what happens on the day? Does a theoretic clock stop and suddenly I’m old? Does the clock start and my real life begin? Or am I simply on the countdown to the menopause?
