Our guest this week is Linda Christensen, a fitness trainer and 4th degree Taekwondo martial artist (+ master trainer) who addressed her lifelong love affair with alcohol in the aftermath of an out of control night her daughter bore witness to. She grew up in Scotland where regular drinking from an early age was the norm and she resolved then and there that she'd break the cycle. Many years on and Linda is a mentor to the women she coaches (Steph is one of them). One of the challenges she sees a lot of women face is managing their relationship with alcohol as they get older - especially when the affects of menopause kick in.In this episode we chat to Linda about the physical, hormonal and emotional factors that come into play during the onset of and progression through menopause, and how women can avoid diving into the all-too-common wine glass shaped swamp to deal with all their icky feels.
