Katie Taylor — founder of The Latte Lounge and author of the empowering new book Midlife Matters — joins Emily to share her extraordinary story of navigating a misdiagnosed perimenopause that left her physically drained and mentally lost.
After years of debilitating symptoms and countless referrals, it took a family member — her own father, a professor — to finally uncover the real cause: her hormones were “on the floor.”
In this deeply personal and practical episode, Katie opens up about the impact of those lost years, her decision to start The Latte Lounge community, and her campaigning work to help bring menopause awareness into government and workplaces.
We also dive into her new book, which features expert insights from leading voices in medicine, and acts as a compassionate, comprehensive guide for every woman going through midlife.

Katie’s personal story and misdiagnosis
The reality of perimenopause and its lesser-known symptoms
Mental health, HRT, and finding yourself again
How to embrace the next chapter with confidence
What workplaces must do to better support midlife women
A behind-the-scenes look at Midlife Matters and the experts who helped shape it
