About
Menopause Whist Black Season Eight, episode EIGHT is with Celia Toks.
'I know I'm intelligent...but lately I feel stupid!'
Celia Toks is a dynamic social media personality and community builder, known for her infectious energy, African mum comedy skits and passion for connecting people. As a single mom, she uses her platform to inspire and empower women to embrace their journeys and create lasting friendships. Celia shares engaging content that highlights memorable experiences, personal growth, and the joys of life. Her mission is to blend fun with purpose, turning her love for socialising into a thriving venture while having lots of fun along the way.
Celia's infectious humour shines as we discuss:
> how patriarchy and culture kept her from receiving adequate care during puberty.
> 'scary' symptoms that were signs of peri-menopause.
> learning to normalise 'flooding' and heavy bleeding throughout her life.
> trying to manage the symptom overlap between her ADHD diagnosis and peri-menopause.
> The benefits of 'oversharing'.
and much, MUCH more!
