The unspoken truth about menopause | Blood, Sweat and Tears

Investigative Reporter Carolyne Meng-Yee and Director Mike Scott pull back the curtain on the unspoken truth about menopause and talk to the women that are confronting this new life phase head-on, having the conversations and telling it like it is.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears wasn’t an easy series to make. When Carolyne suggested a video series on menopause, a middle-aged news editor blew a gasket. “Bloody hell - only half the population will watch it,” he shrieked - or should I say mansplained?

He’s right. Most men don’t want to know about the hot flushes and flash flooding to foggy brain and anxiety and some women avoid talking about ‘it’. The thing is, menopause matters, and conversations about ‘it’ are firing up. Women from the ‘girls can do anything’ era can’t stop talking about ‘it.’

Menopause is likely to have an impact on relationships, families, friends, and in the workplace. In this feature NZ Herald video, Meng-Yee and Scott provide a real and telling insight into living with menopause.
