Jools Oliver: Empowerment, Laughter & Renewal
Manage episode 438919046 series 3571609
What if menopause could be a time of empowerment rather than a daunting transition? In this episode of Owning Your Menopause, I sit down with the incredible Jools Oliver—a multifaceted entrepreneur, mother of five, and soon-to-be midwife—to explore how she's navigating the complexities of midlife with grace, humor, and resilience.
Jools shares her personal journey through motherhood, mental health challenges, and the often-overlooked experience of perimenopause. We talk about her 24-year marriage celebration that took her from the Maldives to an Elvis-themed vow renewal in Las Vegas, and how the evolving needs of her children add new layers to her role as a mother.
We dive deep into mental health, discussing the heightened anxiety many women face during menopause and how Jools has managed her own fears, especially after battling long COVID. Jools shares her mother’s inspiring commitment to fitness at 83, proving the lifelong benefits of staying active.
