Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets, Welcome to our first episode of 2024. Firstly, how was your 2023? If you're anything like us and so many people we speak to, it was a bloomin' doozy. It really did feel like being on a rollercoaster powered by white water rapids at times. It left both of us feeling emotionally churned, battered and bruised. BUT, we've decided that that energy (or lack of) is so 2023 and it has to stay there. If any of that 2023 shizzle is still hanging around like a bad smell, seeping into your 2024, tell it it's not on the list and turn it away!! Let's be determined to make 2 ..read more

Well phew lovely Foggers and Fogglets, what a bloomin’ year this has been! We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling bounced around, whiplashed, dizzy and facing backwards as 2023 races to a close. How’s it been for you? In this 23 for 23 – Episode 23 and the last of 2023, we reflecting on what’s challenged us, what’s really important, what we’re letting go of and what we’re committing to…sort of…as much as we can, because that’s another lesson from this crazy year, not to put too much pressure on ourselves. Why do we do that?! Above all though, we’re feeling massively grateful for so much an ..read more

Hi loves,    Well, it's been a minute or two but we're back! We've missed you and our chats.    Before we started recording this episode, we were chatting about why it's been a while and when we started delving and being really honest, which we always aim to be, we had reached a point where we really didn't know where we fitted in anymore. There was so much meno and midlife conversation going on, among celebrities, businesses and the like, we thought that maybe our humble little chats were old news and not needed or of value any more. BUT, you lovely lot messaged and emaile ..read more

Hello gorgeous Foggers and Fogglets, It's all about the positive vibes this episode lovelies. We're attempting to walk our talk and take our own medicine. For a while back there, it all got a bit much. We had so much going on in our personal lives and so many exciting things we wanted to do for you, our amazing community but we just didn't have the energy or capacity to do it all so we had to have a word with ourselves. Actually, we had a bored...oops, 'board' meeting haha, and thought about how we could best keep giving you value and stay connected while honouring our own needs too. So, we ..read more

Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets, We're back and ready to share what's been happening while we've been away. It's been a tough ol' time for us both lately so we chose to step back a little to rest and regroup. That got us thinking about how we go about things and how we treat ourselves. When we speak to you lovely gals, you tell us that, like us, you often feel you just have to 'get on with it', 'battle on', 'push through'. Well maybe it's time to change all that. We're not at war with anyone, even ourselves, so let's stop acting like warriors.  It's not how it's meant to be, especially a ..read more

Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets,    We're back again for another jam packed, random conversation episode. How have you been?    As it's 'World Menopause Month' and we just had 'World Mental Health Day', we thought we'd talk about the lesser known and talked about emotional and mental health symptoms of midlife and menopause.    In this extended episode, we talk about...    • The physical-emotional symptom connection.  • Meno conversation reaching parliament and the women's health check at 45 proposal.  • How do we know what's menopause related ..read more

Hi lovely Foggers and Foggiest, Well, we know we bleat on about gut health a lot so we thought it was about time we brought in a real bonfire expert to tell us more about how important it is,  bust some of the myths and give us some simple but effective tips to improve it. We were so thrilled to have the fabulous Emily Foster from A Gusty Menopause along to chat to us about all this. Emily is a qualified dietician and nutritionist both here in the UK and in her home country, Canada. She definitely qualifies as an 'expert' and as a bonus, she's absolutely lovely! Some of the things Emil ..read more
