On this, our last ever Irregular B*tches (massive sad face!), we talk to Andrea Mclean, who was arguably one of the very first women in the public eye to start talking about the menopause 4 years ago on Loose Women and has paved the way for the rest of us! She is warm, funny and insightful about her journey and has some great nuggets of advice for all of us midlife ladies navigating the menopause. This episode was actually recorded way back in September, but a series of boring life issues means we're only just uploading it now! Apologies for the wait!
On this episode of Irregular B*tches we welcome Dani Binnington AKA @healthywholeme: a community of women navigating their way through menopause after a cancer diagnosis spearheaded by Dani herself. We talk about treating menopause symptoms without HRT, supplements, alcohol, diet, yoga and navigating the tricky journey through cancer treatment and beyond.
We had a bit of an unintended break due to nothing more exciting than being really bloody busy! But we’re back back back baby, with the legend that is mummy-blogger extraordinaire Alison Perry! There’s not much she can’t do: from raising her twins in midlife to not one but two podcasts and everything “influencer” in between. Oh and we get the goss' about her Top of The Pops days!
On this episode of your favourite midlife podcast, we chat to Eva Speakman, one half of the couple that have been sorting out our PTSD and phobias for well over a decade now. Eva found herself really adrift when her menopause hit and, by her own admission, couldn't even apply her own teaching to the problem. Here, she talks candidly to Sarah and Lou about how low she felt and her journey back to being fabulous! Thank you SO MUCH Eva, for sharing your story with us.
On this episode we talk to Gail Porter, another 90s and 00s alumni with a proper tale to tell. She talks to us about *that* photo, misogyny in the 90s and (hilariously, though it might not sound like it should be!) her dead dad. Witty, bright, and self deprecating, she truly is an Irregular Bitch, and what better day to gift this episode to you than INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY?!
