Effin Hormones
Be an Effin Star and Help Fund Series 3
It may surprise you to hear we don't make money from the Effin Hormones podcast.
We record after work, with our own kit, and at our own expense. Helen spends her weekends editing, and we pay a very talented young man to make our graphics for socials. We LOVE making the programme. However, in order to make the third series we need to cover our costs - editing, website hosting and our designer. We still won't make any profit from the programme, and we don't want to. (Unless you're a potential major sponsor, in which case please ignore the last sentence!). So if you can spare a few pounds - for example, imagine you’ve bought us a round of drinks or a couple of frothy coffees - then we can fund the next series. If we don't make enough to cover the costs for a next series, we'll donate your money to a menopause charity instead.

THANK YOU
Emma, Helen, Beena and Terri xxxx

GEN-M
Heather and Sam used their extensive corporate expertise to establish Gen-M when they realised that some brands aren’t catering for women at this time of life. From clothing to coaching and femtech to fitness, Gen-M is a one stop shop – and they’re working to get everyone on board.
Karen Arthur
Have you ever searched online for menopause and clicked, ‘images’? When Karen first asked other black women this question she started a conversation on diversity in menopause which has inspired her to launch and present the brilliant podcast, Menopause Whilst Black – which is now into its second series.
Collette Walsh
While working in Spain, a concerned colleague traipsed Collette to a pharmacist where she translated her symptoms.
Collette left the farmacia armed with HRT.
