International Women’s Day 3-Part Special — sparking conversations on feminine issues.

In the first of this special series, we want to harness the power of the female body and address a topic not often spoken about in mainstream media — perimenopause and menopause. 

When we were little girls, we were prepped about having our first periods, but no one talks to us about what happens when it ends. Joanne invites Dr Chua Yang, obstetrics and gynaecology specialist, President of the Asia-Pacific Menopause Federation, and head of women’s health for Global Clinic, to share with us about what we can expect when menopause hits, and how to navigate this stage of our lives with grace and confidence.
