Positive Solace with Attika Choudhary
In March 2020, the UK went into lockdown as did most of the world. As people reached out to Attika, about feeling anxious and confused, she wanted to do something helpful and the “Positive Solace” podcasts were born. Mental health has been her concern for some years and this led to the creation of a team which would make it happen.

In their own, unique way they are doing what they can to help their community overcome the challenges and lead people to a better place. The conversations are not scripted: they are raw and show vulnerability and create a place where these voices can empower us all. So come join us as we laugh, get emotional and travel the world!

Unbecoming a Woman with Aline Boblin
In this episode of Positive Solace: Women of Vision, Attika speaks to Aline Boblin and her journey into menopause.
Aline is a passionate campaigner for menopause awareness, and is the director of the Transformation in Action CIC: an organization driven to support women’s health issues such as the menopause.
Aline is someone who has experienced the menopause herself. She has been misdiagnosed by GPs on several occasions, and as a result suffered long-term mental and physical pain.
She is finding ways to empower women with the knowledge they need pre-menopause. She also wants to challenge the stigma around menopause in the workplace, to offset the shocking NHS shortages and broaden GPs' knowledge and experience of menopausal symptoms.
Aline talks to Attika about the effects of a menopause that she suffered and how it affected her job, her family and her friends. They discuss awhat can be done to avoid the trauma frequently associated with the menopause.
