Stella Duffy is an award-winning writer of 17 novels, over 70 short stories and 15 plays who’s also worked in theatre for 35 years as an actor, director and facilitator. She’s a psychotherapist and a yoga teacher. She recently completed her doctorate in existential psychotherapy and her research was in the embodied experience of post-menopause. She’s been post-menopausal since chemotherapy for breast cancer in her mid-30s. Stella has been active in equalities and diversity work in the arts and LGBTQ+ communities for many decades.

We talk about:

- Stella’s experience of menopause coinciding with six months of chemotherapy

- Menopause as a global issue

- Challenging existing narratives

- Societal factors and the impact of money

- Cultural differences in menopause

- The UK’s influence on menopause narratives

- Alternative perspectives on menopause

- The importance of lifestyle factors

- Societal perceptions of post-menopausal women in a patriarchal culture

- Dismantling misogynistic stereotypes

- Being inclusive about societal expectations and challenges related to aging

- The societal pressure on women regarding fertility and how it contributes to defining their value.

And more! This is such a rich and empowering conversation.
