You can be strong and still be stuck. Hella Rader will show you the difference. Hella is my first international guest. We met on Threads when I asked if anyone wanted to share where they are in life…
Hella RaderGuestKelHostYeah, absolutely not.
And- I think now too because, you know, the rise of like podcasts and, you know, influencers and things like that, we do have thankfully access to far more information.
Like, I think about, you know, my mum who would tell me these stories.
Like, one in particular she said she'd just finished cleaning the house and my brother put a spoon in the sink and she lost her mind, and she, that for her was the start of menopause, but she had no idea.
And, you know, there was, there was no one she could talk to.
There was no Instagram.
There was no podcast.
Instead, she just lost her shit with my brother, and that was it.
So we're-
... we're fortunate to have other women ahead of us now that are capable and wanting to share that with us, I think.
And I think, you know, I was at a family dinner, this was around tw- you know, in 2021, and I was at a family dinner, um, and, and that's a whole other story as well.
But I remember some- you know, my sister-in-law asked me like, "Well, well what's, what's new?" And I'm like, and I just was like, "Menopause," 'cause that's what was very much [laughs] new and up.
[laughs]
And, and it was, whether it was real or not, but I felt this hush come over the table.
Don't talk about it.
Like I had s- like I had said something horrible, and I thought to myself, and I, you know, I just let it go, but I, I, I was like, wow, like, what other things are we not all- feeling we are allowed to talk about, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely not.
