We have teamed up with Lisa Jedan of MenoPositive this month to put the focus on women supporting women and Menopause.

So here is our way of showing support - listen to her amazing podcast here.

Does perimenopause or menopause sometimes leave you feeling like you’ve lost your joy? Not just tired or overwhelmed—but like you’ve misplaced a part of yourself?

So many women share this feeling. Not sadness, exactly. But a disconnection from vitality, aliveness… from you. The menopause transition can be confusing, even overwhelming – but it can also be a profound awakening. Things may be changing, but what remains is an extraordinary opportunity to reconnect with your true self – your true essence — and to live more fully than ever before.

In this episode we’re talking about The Journey Back to Joy with the remarkable @estellebingham — holistic therapist, fourth-generation psychic and author of Manifest Your True Essence. Described as “life-changing” by Fearne Cotton, “our best kept secret” by Charlotte Tilbury, and “profound” by Deepak Chopra —Estelle brings powerful insight into healing, self-discovery and living from the heart.⁠. She has helped thousands rediscover their joy, clear old blocks and reconnect with who they are.

In this episode:
• How to rewrite the menopause narrative
• How the heart’s intelligence can guide you to a more aligned, vibrant life
• How compassion can help you meet yourself right where you are

· A simple heart ritual to ground and centre you

We explore what resilience really looks like in messy, modern life—less grinding, more honest listening, seasonal rest, and community care. Through stories of early motherhood, divorce, and invited chaos (hello, puppy), we share practices that turn overwhelm into steady action.

• redefining resilience as truth plus time, not pushing through
• using rest, naps and pauses to reset energy
• human design frames for reactivity and discernment
• body-led decisions and tracking personal cycles
• rituals, nature and Akashic practice for regulation
• community as co‑regulation and safe processing
• joy hunting, gratitude and abundance mindset
• practical steps after crisis, small actions that compound
• collective coherence, HeartMath and the ripple of calm
• everyday energy hygiene before entering shared spaces

• 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

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.

Truth-telling is radical, liberating, and often silenced, especially for women who navigate a world that has historically taught them to swallow their words and shrink their truths. We dive into why speaking your truth is both revolutionary and healing, even when it means shattering comfortable illusions.

• Karen shares her 10-year journey of confronting the limiting belief that she was "unlovable"
• Lucy reflects on being told she was "too much" and learning to suppress her voice on taboo topics
• The shame women carry around sexual assault and the liberation that comes from breaking silence
• How truth creates intimacy in relationships by allowing us to be fully seen
• The generational healing that happens when we speak honestly about women's experiences
• Breaking taboos around menstruation, sexual assault, and perimenopause
• The difference between feedback given from ego versus feedback given with kindness
• Our bodies always know the truth, even when our minds create protective lies

After nine months of powerful conversations that have reached listeners in 85% of Europe and across six continents, Lucy and Karen are taking a well-deserved summer break. In this reflective season finale, they celebrate the unexpected journey of Say It Sister and the global community they've built from Vancouver to Kuala Lumpur.

What started as friends having courageous conversations has evolved into a platform where both hosts and listeners process world events together. The hosts share how the podcast became their sanctuary during tumultuous times, allowing them to approach difficult topics with compassion and curiosity. Lucy reveals her evolution from considering herself apolitical to embracing her voice as a leader, while Karen discusses how these structured conversations helped temper her passionate perspectives without diminishing her truth.

Their decision to pause embodies one of the podcast's core principles - that rest is essential to the woman's way of leadership. Both hosts candidly discuss recognizing their bodies' signals for restoration and the courage it takes to honor those needs. They reminisce about favorite episodes, from discussions about 90s nostalgia to vulnerable conversations about women's safety, anger, and patriarchy. Personal milestones like being featured on BBC Downloads and openly discussing perimenopause struggles demonstrate how speaking truth aloud can catalyze positive change in our lives.

Before signing off until September, they leave listeners with a beautiful mantra: "I honor how far I've come and I give myself permission to rest, restore and rise again." Follow the podcast now to be notified when Season 2 begins, and share what topics you'd like them to explore next. This pause isn't an ending - it's a moment to breathe before the next chapter of authentic, empowering conversations begins.
