  • Fantastic podcast

    I didn’t know what was happening with my body over the last few years. At 38 now I thought I was too young for these changes, I now have a greater understanding of my menopause journey. Thank you

    So glad I stumbled upon this podcast. At 47 and feeling the effects of perimenopause, it’s been a great source of information and normalisation for me. Sonya is a great interviewer and the topics are really well presented. Thank you 🙏🌟
