Episode 74 - The Menopause Conversation:...

About this episode

Send us a text

What if “the change” was really just the beginning of a whole new chapter?

No more whispering about hot flashes in the corner or Googling symptoms at 2 AM - it's time to have the talk. You know the one: about hormones, moods, sleep, sex, and the sneaky changes that show up before we even know what “perimenopause” means.

In this refreshingly honest episode, I sit down with the brilliant and wildly relatable Dr. Sarah Sharif - a Family Medicine Consultant with over 20 years of experience and a real passion for women’s health.

Together, we get into:

💥 The real definition of menopause (spoiler: it’s not what you think)
💥 Why you can still get pregnant in perimenopause (yep, really)
💥 What’s up with the mood swings, intimacy shifts, and “am I losing my mind?” moments
💥 Hormonal therapy: what it is, who it's for, and why it’s not as scary as it sounds
💥 How to advocate for yourself, tune into your body, and make peace with the shift

Dr. Sarah isn’t just a doctor; she’s a champion for every woman who's ever felt confused, dismissed, or just plain exhausted by the changes no one warned us about.

✨ This episode is your permission slip to ask the questions, break the taboos, and take back control of your health, on your terms.

So grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine; we’re not judging), press play, and let’s turn this “midlife mystery” into a power move.
