  <title>184 MENOPAUSE MATTERS: Midlife women rock | Breeda Bermingham (re-release)</title>
  <description>We’re revisiting another brilliant conversation for our special&amp;amp;nbsp;Menopause Matters Season&amp;amp;nbsp;— this time with the inspiring Breeda Bermingham. She’s a social entrepreneur, founder of the&amp;amp;nbsp;Midlife Women Rock Project, and author of&amp;amp;nbsp;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&amp;amp;nbsp;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! &amp;amp;nbsp; If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share it and leave us a 5* review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you’re listening.
