7 seasons. 750,000 downloads. 3 International Women’s Podcast Award shortlistings. To mark the finale of Season 7, I’ve gone back through 7 years of conversations to bring you 7 of the clips that stopped me in my tracks – and believe me, it was no easy task to choose, because every single guest has been brilliant and they’ve brought such incredible expertise, inspiration and insight to this show.
The topics I’ve chosen range from anxiety, sleep, hair and pelvic health to the invisibility syndrome, bone health and how your mindset can influence your health and wellbeing, plus a fascinating bonus extract exploring the history of women’s health and attitudes to menopause across the centuries.
This is a celebration of everything The Happy Menopause has stood for. And if any of these clips leave you wanting more, the full episodes are waiting for you in the back catalogue (and I’ve added links below), along with a whole lot more besides, covering pretty much every angle of perimenopause and menopause you can think of. Thank you for every single one of those downloads – this one’s for you!
