PeriMenoPost talks to Samantha Phillips, founder and blogger of The Mamapause blog. We discuss how the importance of social media has helped to create more awareness for all stages of menopause and a support network for women to be able to have access too. Samantha discusses her journey and how she created her fantastic blog The Mamapause. Sam aka themamapause, is a 51 year old mum, grandma and daughter, navigating life as a single middle aged Gen X'er juggling a full time job and family life. Whilst managing the symptoms of perimenopause. Prompted by the frustration of not being understood by those closest to her and the medical profession (who just wanted to prescribe antidepressants), Sam started writing a blog which she felt completely stopped her from going insane by journalling her thoughts, feelings and experiences of the menopause years. When Sam is not working, instagramming, babysitting or cleaning, she loves to bake and decorate cakes for her family and friends. You can follow themamapause on Instagram @themamapause and website themamapause.com A keen tweeter too you can find Sam @themamapause You can find out how our joy of big girls pants began too. Give the themamapause pod a listen and a follow, her blogs are a great read a real honest and refreshing view point of life during the stages of perimenopause and menopause. Enjoy menos.
