Sarah Cawood on ADHD, Navigating Menopause without HRT and Living a Life you Love after Surviving Cancer

Sarah Cawood is a TV presenter who regularly appeared on shows like Live and Kicking, Top of the Pops and MTV back in the 90s and 00s – if you’re a 40-something like me you’ll remember those days well! Sarah has had the most incredible and challenging few years surviving breast cancer and navigating menopause. She identifies with ADHD traits and has found a way to navigate menopause and life without HRT that works for her and her family.

It was a pleasure to have Sarah on and take on board her infectious energy and outlook on life.

In  this episode we talk about:

• How Sarah’s ADHD traits started to manifest
• Challenges that come with ADHD and freelancing
• How Sarah found HRT and why she can’t take it anymore
• The key supplements that Sarah takes instead
• Why we need to change how we think about anti-depressants
• The types of exercise Sarah swears by that has helped her through menopause
• The ways in which Sarah has designed her work life to fit around family
• Vaginal atrophy and dryness and having those conversations with our partners
• Being open with our kids about puberty and sex
• How Sarah simplified things in her life to avoid burnout
