Embracing Menopause with Anita Murphy

Anita enlightens us with her insights into her own menopausal journey during which she realised there was little support & understanding out there for women at the time. As a consequence of that, together with two other colleagues, she set up a workshop tailored specifically for women called ‘Embracing Menopause’. During our conversation she discusses the physiological impact of menopausal symptoms including brain fog and social anxiety, while sharing simple lifestyle choices that can help us ease them. She also discusses the importance of being open and honest about our symptoms in order to create a societal shift and a new vision of menopause as a time of immense personal growth and fulfilment. ......

In her mid 40s she experienced severe mental health issues, only to discover three years later that her symptoms were linked to the onset of peri-menopause. Her continuing challenges, coupled with the lack of information and awareness in the public domain and among some GPs, has lead her to want to create more awareness and support in our communities and workplaces to empower menopausal women through this transition. She completed the “Workplace Wellness Post Grad” in NUIG (National University of Galway Ireland) in 2021. Her final project was a program to support menopausal women in the workplace. She has co created the “Embracing Menopause” workshop with her colleagues Laragh Cunningham & Sarah Thornton and they have just recently successfully completed their first in person workshop. ..................
