Menopause.
Something that happens in your 50s and 60s, right?
Not exactly. While menopause itself marks the official end of our periods, the lead-up—perimenopause— starts much earlier in our 40s, and sometimes even in our 30s. It’s not that menopause is happening younger; we’re just becoming more aware of the changes our bodies go through in the years before it.
So if you’re dealing with irregular periods, sudden bursts of rage at your perfectly innocent partner, insomnia, or mood swings that make no sense—perimenopause could be the culprit. Or, of course, it might just mean you are a full-timer in dire need of a holiday.
In this second episode, Dr. Biff joins us again to talk about how to recognise perimenopause, the myths and misconceptions surrounding it, the impact it can have on women, and—most importantly—what we can actually do about it. And good news: managing it might be simpler than you think.

Nobody tells you that the newborn experience you had with your first child will look nothing like the one that comes next. Different baby, different season of life, different version of you and sometimes, a completely different world.
You can love your child more than you have ever loved anything in your entire life and find it really, really hard at the same time. You can not want to be apart from your baby for a single second and also be desperately counting down to bedtime.
We are not tech people. We are not AI experts. We are two full time working mums who stumbled onto a few things that have genuinely changed how we manage our lives and we could not keep them to ourselves.
There has never been more parenting advice, more research or more content available to us than right now. And yet parents feel more lost, more overwhelmed and more judged than ever before.
Quick heads up - this one gets spicy so pop your headphones in if little ears are around.
