If you’re a friend of the show, you will remember the lovely Victoria Hardy from Season 3, when she talked about how surgical menopause changed her life at home and at work, the struggles, frustrations and the way she handled the hurdles – powerfully, I would say.
We get to catch up with her here, about a year on from our last conversation: she’s come a long way, transformed how she feels and… she’s written a book. But it is so much more than a book. ‘My Menopause, My Journal, My Rules’ is somthing to be treasured. It’s a work of art, an intimate look into Victoria’s life, a diary, it’s interactive, it’s other people’s stories, it’s informative and supportive, encouraging and a massive great hug just when you need it. After all, “Being yourself is a fucking Superpower!”
In this episode, Victoria fills us in on her most recent year, what made her choose to write a book, how she created such a beautiful work, her transformation and what propels her to continue speaking up about menopause and being a proud representative for those in surgical menopause.
You can find Victoria on IG @ginge_unhinged and TikTok @gingeunhinged and you can buy her book ‘My Menopause, My Journal, My Rules’ at gingeunhinged.com and on Amazon.
