The Menopause Gang – Bustin' Myths, Sharing Truths, and Supporting Women Everywhere - Episode 116

This Week on the Show: Real Talk on Menstruation and Menopause

This week’s podcast is not just a conversation – it’s a movement! We’re tackling 10 of the biggest myths and whispers surrounding menstruation and menopause, with the help of three incredible women who know their stuff and aren’t afraid to talk about it.

 

Whether you're in the thick of it, just beginning your journey, or supporting someone through theirs, this episode is packed with warmth, facts, and real-life experience.

 

👩‍⚕️ Meet My Amazing Guests

Fiona Catchpowle – The Menopause School

Fiona is a Menopause Doula and founder of The Menopause School. She’s a dedicated menstrual health educator and mentor, working one-to-one with individuals and training holistic therapists to have confident, empowered conversations around women's health.

 

She’s also busy working at grassroots level, creating community-led strategies that raise awareness and dismantle taboos. If you've ever felt unsure or alone on your hormonal journey, Fiona brings the guidance and care we all wish we had.

 

Dr Patsy Rogers – GP & Women’s Health Champion

With 17 years' experience as a GP, Dr Patsy Rogers brings a wealth of medical expertise and a deep compassion for women’s health. She's all about creating safe, open spaces where women can talk about even the most sensitive symptoms without embarrassment.

 

Patsy believes no symptom is too small, awkward, or weird to address. Her calm, holistic approach ensures women get the support and treatment they deserve – not just the bare minimum.

 

Siobhán Barry – Storyteller, Nurse, and Community Voice

From anaesthetic nurse to gemmologist, to scriptwriter and radio host — Siobhán has done it all! Her passion lies in telling stories that matter, shining a light on health, lifestyle, and the powerful journeys of women.

 

She’s deeply committed to community, regularly volunteering and using her platforms to educate, uplift, and connect women across generations. She’s warm, wise, and wonderfully witty.

 

🎉 Special Mentions

A very Happy Birthday to my grandson Lewis, and to Siobhán’s daughter – celebrating fabulous young lives!
