Happy Vulva, Happy Life with Sandy Davies

Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of Metamorphosis, Growth and Evolution

Sandy Davies is the Queensland-based formulator and founder of HappyPause™ Balm. She’s a bit of a rebel who struggles taking ‘No’ for an answer, which is how she came to turn the lack of a simple, preservative-free natural solution for intimate dryness into her mission. The creation of HappyPause™ is Sandy’s ‘Yes.’ Don’t suffer in silence. A tiny pearl of HappyPause™ and you’ll have a spring back in your step.
Dryness caused by perimenopause, chemotherapy, endometriosis, Type 1 Diabetes, harsh working conditions, endurance training, postmenopause or other issues should never be a death knell to doing the active things we love, which is why Sandy can’t wait to share the joy of creating HappyPause™ with you.

I reached out to Sandy after using HappyPause when I joined the ranks of perimenopausal women suffering from vaginal and vulval dryness. Here I was thinking I had blessedly escaped this peri symptom and BANG one heavy period and hey presto! dry vagina! My doctor initially prescribed a pessary of vaginal estrogen but I didn't get much relief and I already knew that Sandy created an all-natural product that works so well after hearing her interview on another pod.

We chat about:

• Sandy's perimenopause experience and how her doctor brushed it off as "just perimenopause" (two words that you and I both know should never be used together in a sentence!)
• How women are still hiding away menopause, and the behaviour Sandy just observed when going to see Menopause the Musical
• Perimenopause itchiness and irritation of all types, and the huge impact a little self-nurturing can have on our tolerance levels
• Vuvla and vaginal dryness, the stigma still attached and how these symptoms impact EVERY area of a woman's life, not just the bedroom
• Sandy's personal philosophy around just LEAP, and a beautiful example of how important it is to take life by the horns and just do it
• Menopausal meltdown and the gift Sandy's husband gave her in a shopping centre car park.

Sandy will be back on the show in Season 3 - because we didn't get to chat about her celebrating 50 with 50 bottles of champagne or her great naked coffee challenge in this ep!

Go find Sandy and her radiant positivity and HappyPause at www.happypause.com.au and please if intimate dryness is an issue for you, give HappyPause a go - it is a simple, natural solution that has worked wonders for me.
