Episode 72: Following Intuition, Taking Retreat and Finding Your Path in Menopause (Lara Owen)

This bonus episode is the next in our ‘Wise Power Retreat’ series where Alexandra is interviewing people about what menopause revealed and awakened in them. 

Alexandra and Lara have been working alongside each other in this field for over 30 years. Lara is an author, teacher, researcher, consultant, mentor and an expert on the culture, politics and organisation of the menstrual cycle and menopause. 

She wrote one of the first books to be published about the power of the menstrual cycle, Her Blood is Gold, and is one of the leading lights in the field of menstrual and menopause education, sharing from an incredible wealth of personal experience, as well as academic research.
