  • Womenkind- JintyLou-both collectively beautiful inside and out

    I happened across these fantabulous Queens while I was in doubt of myself.

    They built me up like a buttercup and continue to light each day with constructive intentions to improve the female world.. I continue that intention while passing on the message of hope to fellow ladybirds whether it be menopause ranting raging and of course..

    Stair dancing

    Keep going gals

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MRKH: The Rare Condition That No One Talks About, with Natalia Shvarts
Q: What has helped you come to accept your body and move forward?
Therapy, coaching, and ongoing self-work; Natalia emphasizes the importance of mental health support and recognizing that being enough is possible with proper help and mindset.
MRKH: The Rare Condition That No One Talks About, with Natalia Shvarts
Q: How old were you, Natalia, when you started with the dilation?
She began dilation at age 16, and describes the intense initial challenges, including the gradual progression through sizes over more than a year and a half.
Do we need to replace the word 'Hysterectomy' with Nicky Denson-Elliot
Q: Can you tell us about the petition and what sparked it?
Nicky explains that the petition seeks to retire the word hysterectomy in favor of a clearer term like euterectomy, driven by personal experience with endometriosis and surgical menopause, and a long-standing concern about how language shapes understanding and care.
ADHD & Gender Bias in Healthcare with Sarah West
Q: What should GPs understand about ADHD in women and how it overlaps with perimenopause to improve diagnosis and care?
GPs need to understand the distinct, often internalized presentation in women and the overlaps with perimenopause symptoms, then ask targeted questions about both conditions and consider hormonal changes when evaluating ADHD symptoms.
ADHD & Gender Bias in Healthcare with Sarah West
Q: So how much damage do you think the original ADHD research, which was focused on hyperactive boys, has done to generations of women and girls?
The damage has been substantial; the diagnostic criteria were crafted around boys, leading to misdiagnosis and treating women for anxiety or depression rather than ADHD, which has caused long-term harm and missed opportunities for appropriate support.
