It is menopause awareness month.

We break the silence around perimenopause and menopause, mapping the decade-long transition that reshapes health, work, and identity. We share lived tools—from symptom tracking and GP scripts to cultural wisdom and workplace policy—to help you feel seen, supported, and sovereign.

• naming perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause clearly
• sleep, progesterone and managing changing symptoms
• coils, HRT and testing what helps your body
• frustration with mental load, libido shifts and resentment
• 48–70+ symptoms and why misdiagnosis is common
• using signs trackers, scripts and concise GP visits
• purpose returning after stabilising sleep and pain
• cultural lenses that honour women as wisdom keepers
• rituals, womb work and syncing energy with cycles
• the push through culture and its harm
• women leaving leadership and what we lose
• flexible policy, coaching and retention in workplaces
• choosing to stay or pivot with sovereignty

We explore truth-telling in this episode, discussing how women are called to face their inner truths and the importance of naming what we truly feel.

• Lucy shares how becoming a "nag" in past relationships masked deeper unmet needs
• Our inner saboteurs mirror the patriarchal system and try to keep us playing small
• The trap of societal definitions of success often leads us away from our authentic values
• Connecting with our spiritual selves and wisdom has historically been suppressed
• Daily practices like mindfulness, nature connection, and deep breathing help us reconnect with our truth
• Recognizing and naming resentment is crucial for authentic relationships
• Success can be redefined as presence, meaningful connections, and inner peace

Reflect on this question: What truth are you most afraid to say out loud, and what would happen if you did?

Karen and Lucy explore the urgent rise of extremism and far-right movements in the UK, examining what it means to have a voice during politically hostile times when many feel like hiding.

• Looking at how reform groups polling at 30% leaves 70% of the population fractured between other parties
• Personal connections to extremism, including Karen's Spanish heritage and memories of Franco's far-right regime
• The lived experience that most people are compassionate and kind despite extremist narratives
• Community responses to division, including creative acts of unity through international flags and colourful ribbons
• How extremism particularly threatens women's rights, healthcare access, and safety
• Practical ways to take action: education, sharing personal stories, supporting like-minded groups
• Using economic power by not buying from companies that don't support diversity or women
• Holding public figures accountable while protecting personal safety
• The new reality of questioning where and when it's safe to express feminist views

Your voice isn't a luxury – it can be taken away in an instant. In the face of rising extremism, silence only helps them. We may not control every headline or political agenda, but we can control how we show up, our intentions, and how we stand together.
