Boldly Facing The ‘M’ 2025 Panel 1: Your Body & Mind During Menopause

Do you feel like your body and mind were taken over by aliens the moment you turned 40? You’re not alone. Hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog and anxiety aren’t just cliches about women in their 40s and 50s, they’re significant symptoms that women need help with. We’re providing a safe space for women to overturn the taboos and stereotypes about perimenopause and menopause, and to face this phase of life with grace.

This is an edited replay of the second series of BFM Health & Living (For Her) events, with the theme “Boldly Facing The ‘M’: Embracing Your 40s and Beyond”. This event is presented by FWD Insurance. 

Listen to the second panel session on ‘Power, Purpose & Planning’ here.
