We’re revisiting another brilliant conversation for our special Menopause Matters Season — this time with the inspiring Breeda Bermingham. She’s a social entrepreneur, founder of the Midlife Women Rock Project, and author of Midlife Women Rock: A Menopause Story for a New Generation. A former midwife and nurse, Breeda went back to full-time education at 49, completing both a psychology degree and a master’s in sociology. Impressive doesn’t even begin to cover it!
This was such a moving conversation — Breeda’s wisdom and passion continue to have a profound impact on me. With more and more fear around menopause conversations, Breeda’s call to action on menopause is just as timely as ever.
Here’s what we cover:
- Why she wrote her book and the urgency of changing menopause narratives
- Breaking taboos and giving women’s voices space to be heard
- The legacy of Feminine Forever and the medicalization of menopause
- Her Menopause Cafés in Ireland and the power of shared stories
- What it was like returning to full-time study at 49
- Practical ways women can take more control of their experience
- Why sleep is so critical for long-term health
- Celebrating how amazing women are before, during, and after menopause
And so much more!
