In this powerful episode of Find Your Spark: Real Life Menopause Moments, I sit down with the brilliant Helen Clarke, Women in Business Network franchisee, co-owner of Bright Red Digital, and all-around champion for women in business.Helen shares her deeply personal journey through early surgical menopause, a path that began with years of debilitating periods, a long-awaited diagnosis of adenomyosis and the life-changing decision to have a hysterectomy at just 36. She opens up about the emotional toll of being thrown into a medically induced menopause overnight, the impact on her mental health and confidence, and the lack of support she received at the time.We talk about: 💡 The importance of pushing for answers when you know something isn’t right 💡 How sudden menopause symptoms affected Helen’s work and self-esteem 💡 Why finding the right GP (and the right support network) can transform your experience 💡 The power of community and how joining Women in Business Network changed Helen’s life and career 💡 Her advice for anyone navigating complex women’s health challenges, early menopause or surgeryHelen’s story is raw, relatable and full of hope. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or blindsided by menopause, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone and that finding the right information, people, and support can be life-changing.You can find Helen through her Linkedin profile; Helen Clarke | LinkedIn, her websites are; https://www.brightred.digital and https://www.boltguitars.co.uk and to find a Women in Business Networking Meeting, https://wibn.co.uk.I'd love to connect with you on LinkedIn; www.linkedin.com/in/⭐alison-allen-chartered-mcipd
