This podcast brings you an eye-opening conversation that affects millions of women—yet is still too often misunderstood or overlooked in professional settings: the impact of perimenopause and menopause in the workplace.

In this episode, you’ll hear real, honest discussion about what it’s like to navigate symptoms such as hot flushes, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and brain fog while trying to meet the demands of modern working life. We talk about the emotional toll, the practical challenges, and the silent struggles that women often carry without support.

You’ll also hear insightful reflections on what employers can do better—from creating open cultures to implementing simple, effective adjustments that can make a world of difference. And, importantly, we explore how awareness and understanding can empower women to advocate for themselves and thrive during this transition.

It’s a conversation filled with lived experience, professional insight, and plenty of compassion—one that we hope will spark change, encourage empathy, and remind anyone listening that they’re not alone.

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked topic of brain fog — that frustrating sense of mental cloudiness, forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating that so many women experience during perimenopause and menopause.

Our guest experts unpack what’s really happening in the brain during this stage of life. They explain how hormonal changes, particularly fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone, can affect neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine — chemicals that play key roles in memory, focus, and mood. We’ll also explore how other factors common in midlife, such as poor sleep, stress, and the demands of daily life, can intensify these symptoms.

Listeners will hear practical advice on how to manage brain fog — from lifestyle adjustments and nutrition to evidence-based treatments that support cognitive health. Most importantly, the episode helps normalise the experience, reassuring women that they are not “losing their minds” — their brains are simply responding to a major hormonal transition.

If you’ve ever walked into a room and forgotten why, struggled to recall a word, or felt mentally “off” during menopause, this podcast will help you understand why — and what you can do about it.

Many women notice new or worsening joint and muscle pain as they move through perimenopause and menopause — but it’s not just “wear and tear.” Hormonal changes, especially the decline in oestrogen, can affect connective tissue, muscle recovery, and inflammation, leading to stiffness, soreness, or fatigue that can impact everyday life.

In this episode, we explore why these changes happen and, most importantly, what you can do to feel better.

Join us as we discuss:

• How menopause affects joints, muscles, and recovery
• The science behind oestrogen’s role in tissue health
• Practical steps to reduce pain and improve mobility
• The benefits of exercise, nutrition, and rest
• When hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and other treatments may help

Whether you’re waking up achy or struggling to stay active, this conversation offers clear, evidence-based guidance to help you move with more ease and confidence.

Listen now to understand your body better — and take control of your midlife wellbeing.
