Stuff you might have missed (which would be a shame)
View All“I want to make menopause an ordinary topic of conversation”
As someone who was pretty adept at preparing for her various life-stages, Rachel Weiss was woefully unaware of what lay in store when her perimenopause began. What she did as a result has changed the experience of menopause for hundreds of women.
“I realised this was the thing I was here to do.”
Her own difficult childhood experience as a mixed-race girl brought up by a white family, and a transformational experience led Rebekah Clark to a lightbulb moment and a mission to change the lives and destinies of children around the world.
“I realised therapy was less of a challenge than navigating your way towards it.”
Her own experience of traumatic mental breakdown in her family and her training in branding and communications then as psychotherapist has led Maryam Meddin to pioneer a new approach to mental health.
