United Kingdoma month ago - Engaging & Informative.
Thank you for providing the most engaging and interesting conversation with your guests. Although as a man sometimes I don’t appreciate the fine points of some of the issues I am willing to learn and always come away. Happy that I have got a more comprehensive understanding especially of issues relating to women. I look forward to more of your podcasts.
Thank you

Apple Podcasts5MortyoneUnited Kingdoma month ago - Perimenopause episode valuable
Great podcast, thank you, especially the episode about perimenopause, informative and grounding. I was nodding in agreement all the way through, having experienced a similar journey. Able to understand and comprehend what I am experiencing as perimenopause and not just another symptom randomly occurring again in isolation. It’s a complex and complicated journey and this episode really supportive and helpful.
