'Yoo Hoo,' she chortled. 'I'm fifty and free from that natural part of my life.'\u003cp\u003eWhen Ms Menopause knocked at her door, what Jenni actually encountered was everything but a celebration. The invitations to her party are still collecting cobwebs and dust as they still linger to be handed out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy, in the 21st Century, is Ms Menopause still being allowed to bully and dissolve women through the next natural part of their lives, to the point of disappearance? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot only does Ms Menopause bully the menopausal woman, she affects family, loved ones, and finances.

She marched into fulltime work in 1980, at aged nineteen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gypsy in her blood and her love of Australia led her to travel, work and play in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her twenties, Jenni loved being part of the 80s, travelling to Tasmania, New Zealand, and having a two week cruise to Vila, Noumea, and many other beautiful islands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt thirty-one, with the birth of daughter - Jenni's greatest and happiest achievement - she and her tribe settled in Brisbane Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFamily has always been Jenni's first priority. At thirty-four, Jenni suddenly and unexpectedly lost her mum. Less than ten years later, she cared for and lost her sister to leukaemia. And then, only two years later also cared for her dad as he battled and succumbed to bowel cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout these times of great grief and loss, Jenni dealt with each heartache in a calm, loving and compassionate way. With her indomitable spirit, she always got back up, dusted herself off, and continued to take life head-on. Her untameable humour also helped enormously with these challenges of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJenni considers that she's 'always grown well into her ages', and is now well settled in Brisbane, the city she now calls 'home'. She looks forward to her years ahead, hoping to live her life healthily, happily and... disgracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BookPOD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50032149364976,"sku":"9780646949475","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780646949475_p0.jpg?v=1784235218","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780646949475","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
