This is NOT for your Enterpainment with Ann Marie McQueen

Ann Marie McQueen has focused on the spectrum of complementary and mainstream health care for much of her 25-year journalism career. She has worked as a national columnist for Sun Media in Canada, was part of the launch team and served as news, arts and life, and features editor for The National newspaper in the UAE, and was the first solar columnist in the Gulf. Ann Marie is the founding editor-in-chief of Live healthy, the only health and wellness platform for men and women in the Middle East.

Ann Marie launched Hotflash inc in June 2020 to cover the latest clinical studies, treatments, products, guidance and more via a weekly research letter, podcast and across social media. Hotflash inc subscribers include some of the top CEOs, doctors and other practitioners in the space, alongside curious, open-minded women and other folks seeking to connect the dots and find their own solutions, all part of a fast-growing 20k+ global community living across 40+ countries.

I have been looking forward to this chat for such a long time - Ann Marie writes and interviews with such detailed understanding of the menopause and such a balanced viewpoint - no sensationalism journalism or taking out of context in sight.

We speak about:

- How at 47 years of age, Ann Marie became aware that the weird cluster of symptoms she had been experiencing (panic attacks, waking from nightmares, heart palpitations, waves of crying and anxiety) since about 42 was all part of her own menopause experience

- Ann Marie’s history of making her painful experience into what she calls “enterpainment” and how the sense of shame around and diminishing of these experiences for years has culminated in a lot of these early traumatic events and situations bubbling to the surface during perimenopause

- How Ann Marie feels like she may well be in the final stretch of Menopause and has the sense that whilst her emotional peaks are intensifying, the physical stuff seems to be calming down a little

- A deep dive into perimenopausal “scratchiness”, and our sense of going into a cave during this transition time, and how we both feel it is a powerful portal of rebirthing ourselves which is both necessary and beautiful (whilst also messy and discombobulating!)

- Ann Marie’s kitchen clean out analogy of menopause - and how right now I have all the sizzle out of every cupboard and every drawer in my metaphorical kitchen but no energy to even work out what to keep, what to chuck and where the heck to file everything.
