Coming to terms: the end of biological fertility

Exploring how we can come to terms with the end of biological fertility and how creative fertility changes postmenopause. You’ll hear five different women, all in different circumstances and each story just blew me away. There is so much courage, healing, endurance and resilience in this coming to terms and I hope you’ll feel as inspired as I was. 

 You should know though, that many of life tragedies are discussed in this episode including baby loss, sexual abuse and suicide so if you’re having a fragile day of it, maybe come back to this episode later. 

Some of the interviewees wished to stay anonymous so they could speak more freely about their experiences, but they do include:

• Katie, a postgraduate literature student and farm hand
• Ginge Unhinged aka Victoria Hardy – author of My menopause, My Journal, My Rules https://www.instagram.com/ginge_unhinged/
• Marian, who lives in South London
• Wildflower, who helps women get back on track after pregnancy loss and reclaim their creative power so they can move forward with joy and purpose. https://peaceafterpregnancyloss.com/  
• Julia (Jools) Voce, a creator, a performing and healing artist, writer, clown, activist and childless/childfree mother based in Brighton and the South Downs.
