Our Podcast Guests
Totes Inappropes
Totes Inappropes (Alison Stankard) created
Totes Merry Peri – a FaceBook group with 25k members who share their often funny stories of peri- and menopause.
She discusses Vitamin B12, her own meno experiences, and the sport she coined – ‘wironing.’
Sue Devaney
The lovely Sue is currently on our TV screens as Debbie Webster in Coronation Street. You may remember her from Jonny Briggs, Casualty or dinnerladies.
Sue openly discusses the effects of menopause on her mental health and how she’s doing now. And we all love her for it.
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.
She’s since embraced her ‘middle ages’, and is on a mission to help women who want it to access hormone replenishment therapy – including testosterone.
