Inside The Perimenopause Journal10 Sep 202400:49:11

Celebrating the publication of The perimenopause Journal: Unlock your power, Own your wellbeing, Find your path which is now available in the UK. It'll be in the U.S. and Canada in October and Australia and N.Z. before Christmas.

My dear friend and colleague in kindness, Leora Leboff agreed to interview me. If you don’t yet know her, once you do, it’s hard not to love her. You can find her online on IG at @leoraleboff and we have worked together creating menstrual and menopause-related retreats, workshops and our online course Perimenopause Unwrapped, since 2014. This is not your average author interview it’s the absolute lowdown on the Journal and everything that it offers.

The Perimenopause Journal is a gorgeously illustrated, 52-week, undated journal that supports you to refine a bespoke self-care plan to ease you through your perimenopause and into a vibrant postmenopausal life. It makes a beautiful gift for a dear friend

 It shows how understanding your ‘inner seasons ‘ is a fast track to self-compassion:

·      gives you prompts and inquiries for appropriate self-care, 

·      charts to track your energy with the moon phases, and 

·      guided meditations to access rest and calm. 

·      Each month there is space for reflection and intention setting to focus on small, do-able changes in your life, to ease your symptoms, access your power and find your path.

It makes a beautiful gift for a dear friend

 There is also a competition, for UK folk only I’m afraid, to win a signed copy of The Perimenopause Journal and Second Spring. All you need do is answer this question correctly:

Who coined the phrase: menopause it’s an inside job?

 You can email your answers to hello@katecodrington.co.uk with your uk postal address, the winner will be contacted on 30th September. If you already have a copy, and I hope you have ordered one,  I can write a dedication so you can gift either one to a friend. Just let me know their name. First correct answer out of the hat wins the books!

Inside Letting Go with Lottie Randomly21 Apr 202100:53:49

We can be active and productive and acquire and acquire but if we don’t let go, things get seriously toxic. On all levels. And it’s not something we’re very good at.

This is a soulful, sweet meandering conversation in which we cover all kinds of letting go. As well as death, there’s funerals, loss, hope, the menstrual cycle and what that teaches us about letting go, compost, menopause, grieving in covid times… all the best taboo topics. 

 Lottie wears loads of different hats, they're a celebrant,  a creator of queer-centred cycle magic, an educator and facilitator, a coach and animist, a walker-between-worlds who’s also worked in mainstream mental health for a long time. I came across them on Instagram where you can find their heartfelt, thoughtful posts at @know.your.cycle

Together we explore:

  • Lottie’s journey to becoming a celebrant 
  • The healing possibilities of funerals
  • The ingredients for a really good funeral
  • How funerals can connect us back to our communities and hope
  • The connection between death and the menstrual cycle
  • The potential of the menstrual cycle to  practice letting go 
  • Rituals and practices that help with this
  • The menstrual cycle as a magical framework for change
  • Pondering menopause and how to throw a party to say goodbye to menstruation
  • How to celebrate the life of a loved one while we’re in a pandemic
  • The importance of giving permission to ourselves to feel grief and allow it in other
  • Progressive ways of disposing 
  • Bokashi composting
  • And how to grow the best courgettes

Though they really didn’t want to, I squeezed Lottie till they let out a fabulous top tip too.

Inside Creative Process with Anne Tannam14 Apr 202100:52:27

I am just fascinated by creative process, almost to the point of obsession, because making things whether it’s visual art, textiles or writing is one of the most important things in my life. It makes me VERY happy. I feel like myself.  So I was excited when Anne Tannam agreed to do a pod chat because not only is she a fabulous poet, but she also coaches people to harness their own creativity in business, work and life. So she can do it, and, which is fabulous for us, she can tell us how to do it too! Or actually, give us ways of finding out for ourselves.

It took Anne 40 years to start writing and I am so glad she did the author of two wonderful poetry collections, with a third ‘Twenty-six Letters of a New Alphabet’ forthcoming from Salmon Poetry later in 2021. 

Whether you feel that you have zero creativity, or are an established artist. Whatever sort of things you’re interested in making or writing, this episode will improve your life.

Anne tells us:

  • How to manage our fears around creative process
  • How to manage the inner critics that stop or limit our creativity
  • Anne’s journey with her creative process
  • How to find your voice
  • Developing confidence and feeling our work is good-enough
  • Why women especially struggle with creative confidence
  • The magic of building a tribe to support your creative process
  • How creativity is an essential part of being human and how if it’s  blocked it impacts the rest of our lives
  • The ingredients for a vibrant creative process
  • The value of making mistakes
  • The value of an intermediary to protect the creator
  • How to make the time for the magic to happen
  • What to do if you don’t know what medium to use

How to square our creativity with financial returns

Along with a side helping of Anne’s best tip of a vibrant creative life.

Inside Sensual Pleasure with Mangala Holland07 Apr 202100:53:43

I was excited to listen in to Mangala Holland’s wisdom because she knows a lot about pleasure and how to support people to find more of it in their lives in a way that is not about looking sexy for other people. 

No surprises then, that there is some explicit language in this episode. 

 Mangala is a Women’s Empowerment and Sexuality coach, and facilitator.  She describes herself as being on a mission to help pussy-owners become empowered through loving themselves fiercely, celebrating their sexuality, and overcoming the fear, guilt and shame that keeps them playing small.

What I love is that Mangala has a beautiful no-bullshit, fluff-free, grounded, dogma-free style. In this episode we discuss:

  • How we can be confident in our sexuality, especially when we’ve been brought up in a culture of shame
  • How to move from numbness to pleasure
  • Mangala’s journey to an authentic, flowing expression of sexuality
  • Why ‘shoving things up there’ from jade eggs to performance enhancers can create more trauma and block pleasure
  • How sexual trauma can be played out in ‘healing’ groups, re-traumatising and shaming those who don’t perform as required
  • How to check-in with yourself and thaw out the numbness
  • How to check for a ‘yes’ before doing anything downstairs
  • How sexual problems are more likely to be to do with having a too-tight pelvic floor than too loose
  • How to build embodied awareness in your genital area and pelvic floor
  • The toxic power dynamics and abuse present in some tantra organisations
  • The problem with selling ‘empowerment’
  • How to tell if a training is safe
  • Moving away from the ‘male gaze’ to feel how we are from the inside
  • And what happens when you are with another body trying to find pleasure

Along with lots more hot stuff and, of course, Mangala’s top tip for increasing pleasure in your life.

You can find Mangala's website and online program here

To find support if you have experienced abuse in an embodiment, tantra or yoga class or workshop have a look at the Yoni Shaki Movement or Tantra Not Trauma Facebook group.

You can also look at Somatic Experiencing, TRE or search here or

Inside Chronic Pain with Leora Leboff28 Mar 202100:50:00

I couldn’t get started with this podcast series without talking to my dear partner in Woman Kind, Leora Leboff. Leora is not only my partner at work but also a very dear friend and an awesome human. I learn so much from being around her. 

She’s been a therapist for more than a quarter of a century, practising and teaching womb massage, EFT, aromatherapy and Medicine Circles. Mostly focusing on women’s health.

One of the most impressive people I know, and you’ll get why when you listen to our intimate, totally up-front conversation. You will be amazed to find that we’re not talking perimenopause or periods, but about the other health challenges that Leora has been facing over the last few years and how she manages chronic pain.

Leora shares about:

  • How she manages chronic pain
  • All about syringomyelia, a rare and little understood condition
  • How Leora manages other people’s reactions to her condition
  • How she grounds herself into her body Leora’s secret bullshit-ometer (aka discernment) and how that works
  • How she maintains integrity and safety in her work
  • What this inner wisdom business is, exactly,  and how she uses it to guide her


And of course, Leora's top tip for a fabulously creative and healthy life.

You can find out more about Leora on her website and the Woman Kind site

Inside Identity with Angie Litvinoff18 Mar 202100:54:56

I wanted to have a conversation with Angie Litvinoff because she is an inspired healer. She’s a medicine woman, creator of ceremonies and rites of passage and a mentor who is utterly grounded. Very often people who reach her level of teaching and visibility are full of smoke and mirrors, pretence and ego, but Angie makes finding identity so simple and straight-forward and DO able. This translates into a highly effective transformation program and her Online Calm pack: from anxiety to delivery which helps creatives find their true identity and voice.

There is some explicit language in this podcast, so if that’s not your thing, you may prefer to listen to a different episode.

We talk about:

  • Finding our own identity by keeping it real and ditching the mysticism.
  • The difference between what we want and what we need and how to know which is which.
  • Angie’s simple way to develop a sense of oneness that transcends the ideology, and our longing for approval.
  • Angie’s journey into wholeness from Chile to Tring via Notting Hill.
  • Angie demystifies Shamanism and shows how it can support us every day and how she owned and defined her own identity.
  • How to take back control and be accountable for our actions.
  • How, by getting addicted to the highs of transformational experiences we avoid taking responsibility for our own process and self-care.
  • How we don’t need appropriate someone else’s culture to find healing, because the healing power of the land is right here.
  • The magic of the subtle energy of staying still for long enough.
  • The impact of racism on Angie and her family.

 And of course Angie’s clever practice to identify your own route to finding your creative identity.

Inside Body Confidence with Sophie Cleere21 Feb 202100:47:19

This episode features an inspirational facilitator whose favourite thing is to empower women to feel good. The soft and strong, wild and free, fragile and fierce Sophie Cleere. Together we take a no-bullshit look at Sophie’s journey from disconnection to body confidence and the pleasures and heightened sexuality of her perimenopause. There is some explicit language so if that’s not your thing, you may prefer to listen to a different episode. We chat about:

  • How our mums' body image influences our own
  • How restrictive dieting crushes the spirit
  • How to stop looking up our arses and be in the 'now'
  • How conscious sexuality can be transformational
  • Sex and perimenopause
  • How the perimenopause gift of discernment helps us to really care for ourselves
  • Sophie’s self-care non-negotiables for a vibrant life 

And of course,  a stonking top-tip to develop more body confidence

You can find Sophie on Instagram at @Sophie.Cleere

Inside Consciousness with John Stirk31 Jan 202100:49:54

This episode is a mind-expanding stonker of a conversation with yoga teacher John Stirk. If you've ever meditated (or tried to) if you work with mind-body healing or have been to a yoga class, this is going to be fascinating.

If you’ve not come across him, John has been very influential in the yoga world. He started teaching yoga in 1974, and graduated as an osteopath in 1988, later becoming a fellow of the College of Osteopaths. He ran BodyMind workshops with R.D. Lang. and as well as being influenced by BKS Iyengar and Krishnamurti, also had personal tuition from Vanda Scaravelli. Ceasing osteopathy practice in 2000, John now focusses exclusively on group work. He’s recently published his fourth book ‘Deeper Still’ showing how we can find our inner teacher and all make this journey from sensation into expanded consciousness.

I’m your average, sometime-meditator, constantly distracted and no matter how much I long for peace, it is extremely elusive. Except in John’s classes, where almost nothing happens, with only tiny movements, but by the end, I find myself in an extraordinary, expanded state. I wanted to ask John why this was, how even a crazy-head-maginty like me, can reach a state of quiet bliss through sensing into the body.

We cover: 

  • What consciousness is
  • The Self and ego
  • The role of the skin in unifying the ego
  • How to calm our minds
  • How space can be our friend and connect and unifies us


Mind. Blown.

Inside Prolapse with Jane Dancey25 Jan 202100:50:24

This week is all about the female pelvis and its healing, in which I have an honest chat with Jane Dancey about how she has found her own route to heal her prolapse.  She’s a somatic yoga coach and facilitator specialising in women’s well being, especially the pelvis, when it goes wrong as well as exploring the good stuff, like pleasure and sexuality. She shares her journey to find a juicy inner-life through practising and teaching yoga and the low-down on how to heal pelvic disfunction in a respectful and holistic way. Jane shares:

  • How somatic yoga was more helpful than therapy
  • Jane’s journey with a suspected prolapse
  • Steps to follow to regain pelvic health 
  • Why the problem is more likely to be overtightening than a ‘weak’ pelvic floor
  • How to develop a better relationship with your vulva, vagina and perineum.
  • Understanding bodily based consent 
  • Yoni eggs and when to use them
  • All about kegels and when they’re useful
  • Why awareness is key
  • What to wear for the very best pelvic health
  • The joy of having a tail… a different one every day
  • And of course Jane’s top tips for a  deliciously juicy inner life.

If you are experiencing any menstrual symptoms or pelvic pain that gives you concern, please go and get it checked out with your doctor, GP or specialist.

Jane has a helpful breathing practice to explore the relationship between the breathing diaphragm and the pelvic floor here and you can find out more about her Embodied Female Pelvis course here.

Inside Yoga with Catherine Annis28 Dec 202000:49:29

In this episode I have a wonderful conversation with Scaravelli inspired Yoga teacher and trainer Catherine Annis. I’ve been lucky enough to benefit from her classes over lockdown and have found them super-interesting because the focus is on our inside experience, not what the pose looks like. After a class when she was encouraging us to kind-of NOT follow her instructions, I really wanted to talk to her more. 

I am so grateful Catherine was generous enough to lend her time.In our chat we ponder on:

  • How to move when your body doesn’t want to jump up and down any more
  • How therapists and teachers’ voices can penetrate and wound
  • Catherine’s dance training and how she came to yoga
  • How we internalise critical voices as real truths
  • How sexual trauma can be re-triggered from hip-opening 
  • How to welcome more diversity and POC into yoga
  • Competition in the yoga studio
  • A great tip to empty your mind
  • And of course Catherine’s tippity top tip for a great inner world

Cyclical Living Unwrapped featuring Hannah B Burton29 Dec 202300:24:53

Cyclical Living Unwrapped explores the gifts and challenges of cyclical life with experts in the field of menstruation, perimenopause and cyclical living.

It's brought to you by Leora and Kate at Woman Kind.

Hannah introduces herself by saying...
'Despite being a healthy Nutritional Therapist and NLP practitioner myself, I continually suffered from a number of cycle issues including PMS, ovarian cysts, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, and pre-cancerous cells in the lining of my womb. Working on supporting my own menstrual cycle challenges I found living cyclically was the best way to optimise my health and wellbeing. I then went on to train as a Menstrual Cycle Coach with Cyclical School and with this additional knowledge I birthed FEMpowered into the world, a holistic 360 approach to women's health and wellbeing through Food, Emotional intelligence and Menstrual cycle syncing. '

Trailer for Life - An Inside Job28 Dec 202000:04:27

At  Life - An Inside Job I aim to help you nourish your inner world and make it a great place to hang out, so your outer world can become more fun, meaningful and satisfying. I chat with fascinating teachers, creatives, therapists and ordinary people who use their interior experience to change their outer world. You’ll get the inside skinny on healing, how to manage mental and physical pain, how to balance your real-life outer world and make your inner world into the best kind of party.  A party even one person can enjoy. 

Our reality is created on our insides, directly from our mind, beliefs and body sensation but until things go wrong, we barely give our inner life any attention at all

Truth is, we can tootle along focussing on trying to get a fancy car and a sexy partner and that’s fine until we meet trauma, illness or the next major life transition, and then the lack inner life starts to show as disconnection and emptiness.

If your head is a horrible place to hang out, you'll find out what you can do about it

Or, if you’re lucky and your insides are fantastic, how to bring more of that fantasticness into the outer world of relationships and shopping trollies.

 I have been a personal growth junky since the age of 16, when my sis came back from one of those hard-core 80’s personal growth workshops. Thank god there was an age limit in place or my tender teenage self would have been stuffed! 

 Join me to listen to real, raw, juicy conversations with people who know their inside world; I‘ve got inspirational teachers, healers, and guides to life talking about what works. There are amazing artists talking about the creative process and how to let it flow and real people talking about their real lives and what really going on inside.

I can't wait to share their inner worlds with you.

Contact me through my Instagram or you can find out more about my work on my website where there is an abundance of free resources and information.

You will find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes and many more platforms soon. It would be wonderful if you would pop over to Spotify or iTunes to rate and subs

Cyclical Living Unwrapped explores the gifts and challenges of cyclical life with experts in menstruation, perimenopause and cyclical living.

This podcast is brought to you by Leora and Kate of Woman Kind.  In this episode, Tessa Venuti Sanderson shares her experience of oestrogen dominance, rather than the common narrative of oestrogen deficiency in perimenopause; how she manages her inner summer/ovulatory  push to say 'yes' to everything, so she doesn't fall off a cliff later in her cycle; the seasonal layers showing up in her life, noticing outer autumn, her inner autumn and now Life Autumn being in perimenopause; and how active rest nourishes her.

Tessa Venuti Sanderson PhD is passionate about rites of passage.  She is a senior yoga teacher and trainer, specialising in pregnancy and postnatal yoga, birth trauma and co-founder of the State of Birth symposium.  She is a Menstrual Health advocate, running Celebration Days for Girls, the Know Your Cycle online course, retrospective Menarche Ceremonies, and one to one Menstruality Medicine Circles.

Inside men with Kenny Mammarella-D'Cruz19 Oct 202300:54:17

This is an episode for blokes, most especially for blokes who are close to perimenopausal mayhem. I had a chat with my old friend Kenny Mammarella D’Cruz, aka  The Man Whisperer, who has instigated hundreds of men’s groups across the country. Daily Express described me as a "coach, consultant, and guru of all things men"

 Kenny and I talked about:

  •  How men deal with loneliness and pain
  • Men allowing vulnerability
  • Men allowing connection
  • How to communicate with their perimenopausal partners
  • The possibility of both partners in a heterosexual relationship are transforming at the same time 
  • About legacy and elderhood and death

 Plus my all-time favourite quote ever from a man about postmenopausal women, I won’t spoil the surprise but it’s very, very good.

The course Kenny mentions in this episode is an online training on how to listen so men speak and how to speak so men listen for therapists, coaches, care-workers, anyone and everyone who wants to pick up these tools for daily life. Here's a link https://www.themanwhisperer.co.uk/MenFacilitateCourse

  • An insiders peak into the publishing industry and the reality of a writer's living

Inside the compassionate lens with Leticia Valverdes10 Jul 202301:01:09

Leticia Valverdes is a prize-winning photographer whose work starts with deep listening. Published in The Telegraph, The Guardian amongst others, she’s also well-known for her community work with indigenous people, especially women and girls. Leticia’s commercial work includes personal branding for organisations and heart-led businesses in the UK and Portugal and also documenting retreats and rites of passage. 

 I particularly wanted to talk to her about the way she uses the process of image-making for healing, especially with mothers and with older women. We explored:

  • How a compassionate gaze might change body image
  • The effect of Tictoc and Instagram on the way we see ourselves 
  • Play and magical realism in photography
  • The mighty power of perimenopause to create change
  • Leticia’s process of connecting with collaborators – more than looking

Inside the wiser woman with Tania Elfersy10 May 202300:52:29

Tania Elfersy is a transformative coach, speaker and award-winning author, specializing in midlife women's health. Tania has spent years researching what causes and what can relieve symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. She became free of her own physical and emotional symptoms naturally and simply, through insight alone.

 Tania set up The Wiser Woman project in 2015 to help women transform their experience of midlife change. Her new brilliant book The Wiser Woman’s Guide to Perimenopause and Menopause is available now. 

Tania explains how:

  • The challenges of perimenopause might  not all be about your hormones
  • Your body is not malfunctioning in midlife
  • The challenges of perimenopause are not about your hormones
  • The insights that released Tania from her menopause symptoms
  • The potential toxicity of the beliefs and stories we tell ourselves and what to do about them
  • How spiritual awakening can change the game at midlife
  • How to learn what our body wants us to know
  • How we can help ourselves in midlife

Inside purpose with Fiona Buckland18 Apr 202300:58:12

The topic of purpose is enormously charged, we feel beset by inner critics, doubts, and overwhelm. Thank heavens for Fiona Buckland’s book Find your own path: how to create the life you really want. Like a life coach in your pocket, it offers a friendly step-by-step approach to finding your calling. Fiona is a life & leadership coach, facilitator, author, and speaker who has worked one-on-one with hundreds of clients and lead thousands in public and corporate workshops, trainings and events including the School of Life and the Guardian masterclasses.

 In this conversation with Fiona, I ask her:

  •  Why it’s so hard to find our own path
  • How we can track our way to more meaning and fulfillment in our lives
  • How we can manage the obstacles that get in our way
  • We dive into her creative process, the story of how she wrote the book, and how she’s letting it go into the world
  • What it’s like bringing so much of her own story into the public realm
  • How she’s caring for herself as this passion project is birthed into the world

 If you are engaged in a creative process, you’re likely to find something useful in this conversation. Here’s a tip: we’re ALL engaged in the creative process.

Inside Manstruation with Alyx Coble-Frakes18 Apr 202300:52:14

Have you ever struggled to explain to the men and non-menstruators around you what you need in your menstrual month? Or why you might seem to be an entirely different personality week on week?

 My friend Alyx Coble-Frakes did, and her experiences of frustration have resulted in what is to my knowledge, the first book about periods specifically written for cis-men.    
Alyx Coble-Frakes is a passionate social entrepreneur. She has 10 years of experience in business and 8 years of experience working in health and wellness. When she returned from the Peace Corps in 2015, she felt out of touch with her own health, so she began a path of healing. This led her to launch a health coaching company and, subsequently, the app The Agenda Period . She has recently authored a book called “Manstruation” which is opening up conversations around periods with men.

We chatted about:

  •  What non-menstruators need to know about periods
  • How they can support the people around them (and not just when they are menstruating!)
  • How Alyx wrote her new book in just 6 weeks
  • How Alyx discovered the power of cycle syncing 
  • The problem and lack of safety with most period tracking apps
  • The surprising power of celebrating your first period in retrospect
  • How Alyx shifted away from perfectionism to self-compassion
  • And much more!

Inside the crone – how to have a bad ass postmenopause13 Apr 202300:52:30

My guest today is a proper badass hag.  Jane Hardwicke Collings is a grandmother, former homebirth midwife for 30 years, a teacher, writer and menstrual educator. She gives workshops on mother and daughter preparation for menstruation, the spiritual practice of menstruation, and the sacred dimensions of pregnancy, birth and menopause. Jane founded and runs The School of Shamanic Womancraft, an international Women’s Mysteries School.

I wanted to know how to be a fab elder, or hag or crone because there really aren’t so many positive role models or much signposting. We discussed:

o   What menopause taught Jane about being an elder. 

o   The importance of owning our language and how we name ourselves: hag, crone, elder, wise woman

o   How to balance following your passion with caring for being in an ageing body. 

o   How can we protect against the mental effects of ageing

o   How do we counteract the miserable narratives about older women

o   What Jane wished she had known in her 40’s

o   How Jane’s relationship with death illuminates her day-to-day living

 

You’ll notice in the conversation that though we both use a seasonal structure as a map for life, Jane and I do this differently. Jane sees one cycle through the seasons with the end of Winter announcing death, and I see two cycles, with a Second Spring starting postmenopause.

Coming to terms: the end of biological fertility17 Mar 202301:15:48

Exploring how we can come to terms with the end of biological fertility and how creative fertility changes postmenopause. You’ll hear five different women, all in different circumstances and each story just blew me away. There is so much courage, healing, endurance and resilience in this coming to terms and I hope you’ll feel as inspired as I was. 

 You should know though, that many of life tragedies are discussed in this episode including baby loss, sexual abuse and suicide so if you’re having a fragile day of it, maybe come back to this episode later. 

Some of the interviewees wished to stay anonymous so they could speak more freely about their experiences, but they do include:

  • Katie, a postgraduate literature student and farm hand
  • Ginge Unhinged aka Victoria Hardy – author of My menopause, My Journal, My Rules https://www.instagram.com/ginge_unhinged/
  • Marian, who lives in South London
  • Wildflower, who helps women get back on track after pregnancy loss and reclaim their creative power so they can move forward with joy and purpose. https://peaceafterpregnancyloss.com/  
  • Julia (Jools) Voce, a creator, a performing and healing artist, writer, clown, activist and childless/childfree mother based in Brighton and the South Downs.

Inside the Innana myth05 Mar 202300:53:28

Decent and Rising: women’s stories and the embodiment of the Innana myth is a book for anyone who has ever felt lost, a failure, that they’re getting sucked deep into dark places that most people would regard as mad. Written by Carly Mountain, a psychotherapist and women’s initiatory guide, who specialises in working with sexuality, relationships and embodiment. The book is published by Womancraft and I just loved it.

 I first came across this story through Angela Farmer, who you’ll remember from this earlier episode https://www.katecodrington.co.uk/angela-farmer-on-life-an-inside-job/ but Carly takes it to a deeper level. Last week I was lucky enough to have a conversation with Carly about this deeply layered myth and how we can use it to navigate and better understand the dark times of our lives.

Fixing menopause15 Feb 202301:00:09

This episode focussed on debunking the narrative that claims menopause is a deficiency that requires fixing with oestrogen, instead of a normal, healthy life event that ushers us into a vibrant, engaged maturity.  I feel that if menopause is asking us to love ourselves better, to deepen our relationship to ourselves, then HRT can really help with that, allowing us to put ourselves first. But though HRT can be a lifesaver, when it’s used for a long time to continue to push through when our resources are already depleted, without making any lifestyle changes, it is just saving up problems for later. 

Rachel Lankester, midlife disruptor, author of Magnificent Midlife,  founder of The Mutton Club and host of Magnificent Midlife podcast explores:

  • The faulty menopause research that’s endlessly repeated
  • What symptoms HRT is helpful for
  • The latest research into HRT and dementia
  • Menopause and mental health
  • Why language matters
  • Rachel’s new project MenoClarity that’s offers free-to-access clear information and evidence-based research

Inside the unseen with photographer Rosie Barnes07 Dec 202200:47:34

I first came across Rosie Barnes's photography through her exhibition ‘No you’re not’ a striking series of portraits and statements from autistic women who have been successful in academia and business. Two images from this series have been included in the prestigious Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Gallery in London. Rosie is a  documentary and fine art photographer with a particular interest in our relationship with the natural world. She also makes work about disability, difference, community and family. She has exhibited internationally, most recently in Sweden and China and has been commissioned by the Guardian, the FT, and the Wellcome Collection, amongst others.

 We talk about her work and the images of autistic women, the value of shyness, Rosie’s route into photography, her funny, haunting work around nature and our relationship to it, what it’s like to see her work exhibited on a huge scale, and Rosie’s fascinating project to create a truly integrated, community housing project.

Inside ADHD: girls, parenting and me with Victoria Gazzard14 Sep 202201:01:59

This is another exploration into the way ADHD affects us, my guest is Victoria Gazzard, who shares more deeply and widely about the challenges of parenting girls with ADHD, rites of passage and managing adult life. Together we ponder how female gender stereotypes can be particularly restrictive and damaging for girls and women with ADHD and how these restrictions play out over adult life.

Inside Wise Power with Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer14 Sep 202201:01:22

In this very special episode, after a year or more of nudging I have persuaded my teachers Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer of Red School to come along and talk about their wonderful new book Wise Power: Discover the Liberating power of menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging. It’s published by Hay House and you can pre-order now and get your hands on an actual copy on the 22nd of September.

 It’s a grand, trailblazing guide to menopause, filled with nourishing wisdom to help you thrive as your empowered, confident self through this transition and into Second Spring. I was lucky enough to read an early copy and it reframes menopause with great clarity and precision, giving you a clear and grounded psycho-spiritual path to plot your way through the storms.

I ditched all the boring questions authors get asked and dug into what I really wanted to know to give you the exclusive, inside story on Wise Power. You won't hear this anywhere else!

The free, Wise Power Retreat is to be found at www.wisepowerretreat.com

All of Red School’s courses and resources and their fabulous menstruality leadership program is available at  https://www.redschool.net/
