About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of grief related to menopause after cancer, featuring insights from therapeutic coach Henny Flynn.

Grief isn’t a ‘real menopause symptom’, I know, but… how can I host a podcast for people affected by cancer and not talk about grief! Grief isn’t only about losing someone we love. It can also mean the loss of fertility, the loss of identity when our bodies and sexuality feel unfamiliar, the loss of certainty about our future, or even the loss of trust in a body that feels changed by treatment. And grief comes up in most of our conversations! So in this episode, I am joined by therapeutic coach Henny Flynn to talk about it. Henny runs our Empowered Menopause After Cancer programs, and she is an incredible coach with so much wisdom and knowledge.
