  • Changing the Landscape
    Oct 29 2025

    In this episode we consider what has changed as the result of the work and campaign activism of so many, over the past decade. We then look at what still needs to change to improve the menopause landscape further. I am delighted to be joined by my friend and fellow campaigner Fiona Clark for this episode. Fiona is a health journalist, author of Meno Wars and founder of the Menopause Research and Education charity, an organisation that I am proud to be a trustee of.

  • Menopause and Beyond
    Oct 22 2025

    In this episode we focus on the often overlooked subject of menopause and beyond. The narrative around menopause has been, and often still is, negative, but with the right help and support, at the right time, it doesn't have to be that way. Menopause can be a transformational time that can offer an opportunity to reflect, take stock, consider the future and your own self care. If you have found yourself yearning for some calm, peace and relaxation or perhaps some time alone, this is the episode for you.

    I am delighted to be joined by poet Becky Hemsley, who not only reads one of my favourite poems but also tells us about the inspiration for her poem.
