  • We hear from the ridiculously prolific Stella Duffy about loss, endings, mortality, the value of living with a sense of our ageing instead of denying it, and the exquisite possibilities for being ‘more ourselves’ that this brings. Stella is hugely generous with sharing her life experience and there are some beautifully profound moments in this interview.

    Stella Duffy has completed a doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy and her research is in the embodied experience of postmenopause. As well as her private psychotherapy practice, she has worked in NHS cancer psychological support and hospice bereavement support.

    Alongside her therapy work, Stella is the award-winning writer of seventeen novels, over seventy short stories, and fifteen plays, and worked in theatre for over thirty-five years as an actor, director, facilitator, and improvisor. The co-founder and, for eight years, the co-director of Fun Palaces working with communities and inclusion across the UK, Stella has been active in equalities and diversity work in the arts and LGBTQ+ communities for many decades. In 2016 she was awarded the OBE for Services to the Arts. She is also a yoga teacher, leading regular workshops in yoga for writing.

    We also talk about the ubiquity with which HRT is prescribed (wrongly) for all menopause ailments, often without evidence, using misogynistic and ageist language that causes immense harm.

  • Cyclical Living Unwrapped explores the gifts and challenges of cyclical life with experts in the field of menstruation, perimenopause and cyclical living.

    It's brought to you by Leora and Kate at Woman Kind.

    Hannah introduces herself by saying...
    'Despite being a healthy Nutritional Therapist and NLP practitioner myself, I continually suffered from a number of cycle issues including PMS, ovarian cysts, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, and pre-cancerous cells in the lining of my womb. Working on supporting my own menstrual cycle challenges I found living cyclically was the best way to optimise my health and wellbeing. I then went on to train as a Menstrual Cycle Coach with Cyclical School and with this additional knowledge I birthed FEMpowered into the world, a holistic 360 approach to women's health and wellbeing through Food, Emotional intelligence and Menstrual cycle syncing.

She is a senior yoga teacher and trainer, specialising in pregnancy and postnatal yoga, birth trauma and co-founder of the State of Birth symposium. She is a Menstrual Health advocate, running Celebration Days for Girls, the Know Your Cycle online course, retrospective Menarche Ceremonies, and one to one Menstruality Medicine Circles.

  • This is an episode for blokes, most especially for blokes who are close to perimenopausal mayhem. I had a chat with my old friend Kenny Mammarella D’Cruz, aka The Man Whisperer, who has instigated hundreds of men’s groups across the country. Daily Express described me as a "coach, consultant, and guru of all things men"

    Kenny and I talked about:

    How men deal with loneliness and painMen allowing vulnerabilityMen allowing connectionHow to communicate with their perimenopausal partnersThe possibility of both partners in a heterosexual relationship are transforming at the same time About legacy and elderhood and death

    Plus my all-time favourite quote ever from a man about postmenopausal women, I won’t spoil the surprise but it’s very, very good.

    The course Kenny mentions in this episode is an online training on how to listen so men speak and how to speak so men listen for therapists, coaches, care-workers, anyone and everyone who wants to pick up these tools for daily life. Here's a link https://www.themanwhisperer.co.uk/MenFacilitateCourse

    You'll hear

    How Uma was silenced by people who did not want her to share the truth about abuse in yogaHow her fierce spirit guided her through dark times, How the clarity, direction and truth seeing of her menopause guided her The self-care and nourishment that saw her throughAn insiders peak into the publishing industry and the reality of a writer's living

    This is a compelling story of the power of menopause transition to create change for good.

  • Leticia Valverdes is a prize-winning photographer whose work starts with deep listening. Published in The Telegraph, The Guardian amongst others, she’s also well-known for her community work with indigenous people, especially women and girls. Leticia’s commercial work includes personal branding for organisations and heart-led businesses in the UK and Portugal and also documenting retreats and rites of passage.

    I particularly wanted to talk to her about the way she uses the process of image-making for healing, especially with mothers and with older women. We explored:

    How a compassionate gaze might change body imageThe effect of Tictoc and Instagram on the way we see ourselves Play and magical realism in photographyThe mighty power of perimenopause to create changeLeticia’s process of connecting with collaborators – more than looking

Fiona is a life & leadership coach, facilitator, author, and speaker who has worked one-on-one with hundreds of clients and lead thousands in public and corporate workshops, trainings and events including the School of Life and the Guardian masterclasses.

    In this conversation with Fiona, I ask her:

    Why it’s so hard to find our own pathHow we can track our way to more meaning and fulfillment in our livesHow we can manage the obstacles that get in our wayWe dive into her creative process, the story of how she wrote the book, and how she’s letting it go into the worldWhat it’s like bringing so much of her own story into the public realmHow she’s caring for herself as this passion project is birthed into the world

    If you are engaged in a creative process, you’re likely to find something useful in this conversation. Here’s a tip: we’re ALL engaged in the creative process.

  • Have you ever struggled to explain to the men and non-menstruators around you what you need in your menstrual month? Or why you might seem to be an entirely different personality week on week?

    My friend Alyx Coble-Frakes did, and her experiences of frustration have resulted in what is to my knowledge, the first book about periods specifically written for cis-men.
    Alyx Coble-Frakes is a passionate social entrepreneur. She has 10 years of experience in business and 8 years of experience working in health and wellness. When she returned from the Peace Corps in 2015, she felt out of touch with her own health, so she began a path of healing. This led her to launch a health coaching company and, subsequently, the app The Agenda Period . She has recently authored a book called “Manstruation” which is opening up conversations around periods with men.

    We chatted about:

    What non-menstruators need to know about periodsHow they can support the people around them (and not just when they are menstruating!)How Alyx wrote her new book in just 6 weeksHow Alyx discovered the power of cycle syncing The problem and lack of safety with most period tracking appsThe surprising power of celebrating your first period in retrospectHow Alyx shifted away from perfectionism to self-compassionAnd much more!
