Ep 254 - Mid life mothering: you're not crazy, it's crazy hard with Lorraine Candy

Welcome to this week's episode on the Motherkind Podcast, where we chat with the incredible podcaster and author Lorraine Candy.

She is a journalist for pretty much all my favourite magazines, including Sunday Times Style, and she recently gave it all up to create her podcast – Postcards from Midlife which celebrates and supports midlife women. She's also written a book about it which is absolutely brilliant.

This episode is about:

• Why we need to understand better the changes that happen to us hormonally, emotionally, and spiritually.

• Why we HAVE to commit to self-care and the importance of showing it to our children

• The surprising mental changes we go through during the peri, pre and menopause stage

Ultimately, Lorraine says we shouldn't wait for these changes to come as a surprise; instead, we should be prepared so we can thrive instead of just survive.

I hope you love this episode.
