Meet the incredible Kate Beavis, who's rocking TikTok with 75,000 followers and a staggering 1 million monthly views. Now there's a phrase I don't say about many midlife women.

On top of all this, Kate still finds time to be the driving force behind a number of businesses empowering midlife women, whether it's helping women in the workplace or even their relationships. As a staunch menopause advocate, Kate also became a certified menopause wellness practitioner to support women during this transformative phase of life. 

Today, Kate brings her unique perspective on women in midlife. While she shares her own menopause journey, she's nine years sober, and proves that embracing the change is the ultimate game changer. Get ready to be inspired by Kate and her uplifting approach to life, which I think can be quite neatly summed up in her catchphrase, wear what you want at any age.

Having uncomfortable conversations is hard. But they can be so important, essential in fact, in improving our wellbeing and potentially saving lives. 

Our guest today is Andrea Newton. Andrea describes herself quite simply as a 56-year-old woman from Cheshire, but Andrea is one brave woman.

She's here today to talk about how her mental health deteriorated in menopause, to the point where she made a plan to end her own life but her focus is now on enjoying her life rather than ending it. Now she specialises in supporting mental health as a qualified menopause and suicide prevention coach as well as an author and speaker.

Today, Andrea bravely shares her journey and we're so grateful to her for doing so. If you're feeling low, teary or even teetering on the edge, do please join us for our conversation today and know that you are not alone.

The average age of menopause might be younger than you think? There’s an alarming reason why 1 in 10 menopausal women are leaving their jobs…meaning hundreds of UK organisations are losing incredible talent each year. It’s not because women are simply seeking higher salaries (though that’s a discussion for another time), greater challenges, or a change of environment and leadership…

It’s because of an embarrassing lack of knowledge and understanding about menopause symptoms on the employer. Employers, not only aren’t supporting women during menopause, they’re not even talking about it. So when the opportunity came up to sit down with today’s guest to discuss the elephant in the room at work, I saw this as an opportunity to educate us all!

Lauren Chiren describes herself as a no-nonsense speaker, trainer and health and business coach who helps people achieve their desires, goals and dreams…while helping businesses maintain the bottom line by retaining their top talent. 

An inspirational woman and former Senior Executive in Financial Services, she’s an experienced global keynote speaker, podcast host, CEO and founder of Women of Certain Stage - including several other accomplishments to her name. 

Lauren sits with me today to discuss how her own menopause in the corporate environment, led her to completely reinvent her approach to creating others' success!

Do you know how important diet is in helping us thrive during perimenopause, menopause and beyond? Generally, staying healthy and well - from nutrition, to movement, to sleep, to supplements - is hard. We don’t pay as much attention to it as we should because we’re deep into our careers or raising a family, oftentimes both! 

My guest on today’s show has achieved incredible recognition throughout her career in nutrition and continues to make an impact helping women live healthier lives! Certified nutritionist and consultant, author, podcast host, presenter, and more… Jackie Lynch joins me today. And we’ve got a lot to talk about  - from weight gain in menopause to wellbeing in the workplace, especially during mid-life…

And how her award-winning Menopause Nutrition Clinic continues to support busy women who want personalised nutrition advice.

As Fellow of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, and nutrition consultant, Jackie has done a lot to impact the lives of women during menopause age and make a difference.
