About this listen

Hi, I’m Anna from 40s Woman & Beyond. I’m a Perimenopause Coach and PT and together with Genevieve Hallam, a friend and nutrition coach I love to work, talk and collaborate with women across companies and organisations. We were so lucky to persuade Margaret Cabourn-Smith, host of the extremely popular and very funny podcast “CrushedbyMCS” to co host this with us. We are all women in our perimenopausal years who have different experiences and areas of knowledge, and we wanted to start a conversation on why these can be crazy years, but why they can be great years too. We’d love you to join! If you'd like any info on 40s Woman and Beyond, our programme and our products, both company and individual, see www.40swomanandbeyond.co.uk

  • Dealing with Perimeno Anxiety, The Joy of Being Annoying and Why Well Behaved Women Don't Make History

    Dealing with Perimeno Anxiety, The Joy of Being Annoying and Why Well Behaved Women Don't Make History
    Oct 29 2025

    Gen, Margaret and Anna reflect on the Madeleine Spencer podcast, discuss perimenopausal anxiety*, the power of telling ourselves we are "beautiful and talented," and why embracing the fact that everyone is a little annoying might just be the secret to enjoying life.

    *The anxiety Gen, Margaret and Anna discuss is caused by daily hormonal ups and downs - if you are feeling anxious and it's becoming too much, you should always talk to a GP/healthcare provider.
