Ep 2: Mood swings, anxiety, tiredness & period cleaning bills

I speak to Emma , one of my oldest friends, who is in her mid-40s, about her Perimenopause symptoms including mood swings, anxiety, tiredness and more. Plus, the hassle of changing periods and worrying about holiday cleaning bills! (IYKYK). If you're experiencing these symptoms or any others (apparently over 40!), let us know in the comments. I'd love to read them so that we all can see we're not alone and mention them in a future episode. Happy listening and remember, we've totally got this.

Ep 1: My Hair Started Falling Out

I chatted to one of my lovely friends Kat who reached her early forties, came off the pill and then it all changed. "Later that year my hair started falling out, which is so hard... your hair can be a real part of your identity. Hugely distressing" Think you're starting perimenopause, menopause or just changing as a woman as you get older? Feeling alone and not sure what's going on? You're not alone, come and join us. Let us know what you're going through, what you've been through and what tips and experiences you've had. We want it all! @mostlymword

Hello, Hi, Hey, The Intro One

It's the intro one! The one where I tell you what the Mostly M Word podcast is all about (Menopause, Peri-menopause, Menstruation, Mental Health and a pinch of Motherhood!) Why I want it to be a super safe space for women to talk about the trials, tribulations, funny, sad and wild bits about changing hormones. Plus, it's the one where I find out if I can actually do this, for real, in the big wide world! Join me, let's talk! Love, Hollie
