About this listen

Lisa Snowdon is on a mission to spread the word: growing old just means getting better!

Having struggled for over a decade after starting her menopause in her early forties, Lisa Snowdon has come to realise something she wants all women to understand. This new phase of life is actually a golden opportunity: a chance to become an even stronger, even bolder you.

In Just Getting Started, Lisa will support you through the life stages, from fertility to pregnancy, menopause and beyond. By being patient, kind and open-minded, by learning and listening to what your body needs, you too can make it through the menopause with a smile on your face.

With no subject off-limits, Lisa guides you through every issue she herself faced, from dealing with weight gain, fighting her hormones, reigniting her sex life and finding a renewed sense of self-love.

Refreshingly intimate and hugely inspirational, this is your essential companion to embracing life and enjoying your second spring. Because, really, the best is yet to come.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

‘Bravo, Lisa, for lifting the veil and shifting the perspective on this season in women’s lives. It’s not the end but a beginning.’ Jennifer Aniston

‘Your joy of life is honest and infectious, and your advice about peri-menopause was a true game changer for me’. Lisa Faulkner

‘Make this your new bedside bible…Full of lived experience, backed up by impeccable research this book helped me enormously. She’s my menopause Obi Wan Kenobi and I’m so pleased she’s found the time to pour everything onto the page.’ Kate Thornton

This was an unexpected and amaxing audio book. Lisa could have been speaking about me. So much of what she said resonated. This was a book written by a woman for women that touched on a subject that isn't often talked about positively. The menopause was seen as something that made us feel old and past it but we are absolutely not. As Lisa said we are just getting started.

Some not so useful! It was good for making me realise the cause of some of the weird ailments, aches and pains I’ve feeling but bless Lisa, she obviously has time and money on her side!! I’d love an expensive facial to make me feel more like myself again and when I get up at 5am, it’s so I can rush around like a mad thing and get to work on time, not so I can have an hour’s walk and lovely breakfast or take a Pilates class.
As I say, some of it’s helpful, some is plain kooky (I laughed out loud at the thought of my husband’s face if I suggested sage smudging the house!) and some is for the ladies of leisure and means ;)

I have never been a huge Lisa Snowdon Fan, I don’t dislike her, she’s just never been on my radar. Until I started researching Menopause and her name kept popping up as a recommendation. I was keen to learn more about negotiating my way through mid life so bought the book.

Part One is Lisa’s Biography, which was ok but lacked anything of any substance. Part 2 was filled with hints, tips and how to’s, a guide on surviving mid life. As an audiobook this didn’t work very well. Very list orientated and jumped from one subject to another. It was extremely preachy in parts, in an ideal world we’d all have a PT, eat nuts and seeds for breakfast, have morning coffee in the local coffee shop and furnish our skin with the most extravagant oils and potions but alas I’m on the budget trial subscription here and I can just afford the basics. It would have been nice to have recognised the fact that not everyone is lucky enough to have her lifestyle or access to private medical treatment or alternative therapies. There was very little content on her personal experience with Peri Menopause and Menopause, it could’ve gone a lot deeper and been more informative. Instead there was a whole cringy chapter on Sex (Ewww it was like listening to your Sex Ed teacher in school). I’m no prude but I found it unnecessary to hear about her own sex life. I was also a little surprised at the one sided chapter on how men can support their partners through the menopause. Lisa’s partner was very supportive which is great but it didn’t give a good representation of how most males see the menopause. We needed a bit of shade, a second opinion if you will. Well done to George for being so understanding and informed
.

Probably better as a book you can dip in and out of rather than an audio book. If you want a menopause manual then read Davina, Dr Mindy or listen to Diary of a CEO.

Good to hear about menopause from another perspective and I really like Lisa snowdon as a person presenter and from her model days. Especially liked the part about weight gain diet and better alcohol options. I liked the overall message about looking after yourself but also felt sad as her feelings from her youth resonated with me a lot. But made me think it’s ok to think back and not to worry. I enjoyed reading it. She didn’t try and suggest you do everything she does but offers options and to think about your routine. Other books have made me feel overwhelmed with suggested routines diets etc but this felt like a chat with a friend.

Good listen from someone else’s perspective and feels positive

amazing a must read, truly should be given as a gift to every woman from the age of 18yrs as it covers not just menopause but all about life love & menopause.
