In this episode, we speak to Karen Kelly. Karen is a well-known podcaster with 2 successful podcasts: Bedtime Stories and Appetite for Life. She is also an Author, having written Lillian Whites Journeys Home (karenkellypodcasts.co.uk) Karen shares her journey through menopause and describes why she will be taking HRT for the rest of her life. 

For me, the menopause couldn’t come quickly enough. While it was a challenge, it signaled a new phase of my life, free from the monthly hormonal highs and lows that I had experienced every month for thirty years. All our journeys are different, I didn’t want to take HRT as I just simply wanted my periods to stop, they have now and it’s wonderful. I am still a work in progress but as I start the next chapter in life I feel wiser, stronger, and more focused.
