Welcome to The Life of YOU, where we tackle life’s toughest moments.
In this special bonus episode, I’m joined by Eleanor Morgan, psychotherapist, journalist, and author of Hormonal. Together, we delve into the profound impact of hormonal health on mental and physical wellbeing, addressing common challenges faced by listeners.
Today:
- Rachel is seeking advice on how to advocate for proper medical care when her symptoms are being dismissed.
- Lucy wants to know the best way to support her teenage daughter through the challenges of starting her period—without projecting her own experiences.
Eleanor shares practical strategies for navigating medical advocacy, supporting teenagers with emotional ups and downs, and fostering open conversations about hormonal health.
