REAL LIFE: Naomi Watts Is Done With Secrets And Shame

Over the last four weeks on Well, we've explored all things peri and menopause. We've looked at the science and the symptoms and done some HRT/ MHT myth busting, alongside answering loads of questions from you in the Well community. We hear from Naomi Watts, one of the most iconic and accomplished actors of her generation. She's starring in a new role…the role of author and advocate and innovator for menopausal women. She’s written an incredible new book, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause. But before she could write it - she had to wrestle with the strong sense of shame she carried around her own experiences - which she shares with Mia Freedman in this special conversation. You can find Naomi’s book, Dare I Say It, here. You can follow Naomi on Instagram, here.     THE END BITS: Listen to more No Filter interviews here and follow us on Instagram here.
