Hosted by lifelong friends Jinty and Lou, we bring you a vibrant, fun, weekly mix of education, laughter, and real talk. From health and hormones to family, relationships, equity, and the realities of menopause, we tackle the topics that matter, especially the ones society often shies away from. With the help of expert guests, including Menopause specialists, GPs, Gynaecologists, Nutritionists, Sleep Therapists, Cancer Survivors, Advocates, and Campaigners, we provide evidence-based facts, real-life experiences, and the support you deserve. Beyond the podcast, we take action. We founded Exmouth’s first Menopause Café, giving women a space to connect, and launched the #WheresMyClinic campaign, fighting for an NHS Menopause Clinic in Devon. We’ve even spilled the tea live on BBC Radio Devon, hosting their first-ever menopause café. So, whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of hormones, curious about the latest health insights, or just here for the relatable stories (and occasional faux pas), grab a cuppa and join us.

Rosie has spent a decade reporting on women's health and family life for some of the UK's biggest publications. But what sets her apart is this: she hasn't just reported on the crisis in maternity care, she's lived it. Her own experience of birth trauma sent her on a mission to understand what is going wrong in our maternity system, and she has been reporting and campaigning on it ever since. In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, we explore: → How Rosie went from personal anger to understanding this as a systemic failure. → Why postnatal care is described as the \"Cinderella\" of midwifery and why just £250 is allocated per woman postnatally vs £2,800 for antenatal care. → The shocking dismissal of women in crisis including one who was told \"stop making a fuss, everyone has babies\" while suffering massive internal bleeding. → The paradox of understaffed maternity wards and newly qualified midwives unable to find jobs. → How racially minoritised women, disabled women, and those facing economic hardship are being failed most severely. → Whether the 12 recommendations from the 2024 maternity inquiry are being acted upon and why nearly two thirds of maternal deaths happen postnatally. → How patriarchal medical systems have systematically stripped power from midwives and mothers. → What excellent maternity care actually looks like, and where we go from here We also chat about our week, including a new film that's just dropped and exactly how much alcohol is being drunk in parliament. Hear us rant! We end with something beautiful to carry you through the week. 🌸 ☕ SUBSCRIBE for honest chats on women's healt…","meta_description":"This week, Jinty and Lou sit down with Rosie Taylor , award-winning investigative journalist, broadcaster, media consultant, and host of the Mother Bodies…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2920,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/womenkind-collective-3653569/episodes/stop-making-a-fuss-birth-trauma-with-rosie-taylor/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/womenkind-collective-3653569/stop-making-a-fuss-birth-trauma-with-rosie-taylor.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
