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.

After hearing countless stories from listeners, guests, and our own lived experiences, one thing is clear:  For years, we’ve uncovered story after story about the massive gaps in women’s health research and this episode proves once again that these aren’t isolated incidents. They stem from  centuries  of male-centric medicine and underfunded research, the lack of research in women’s health is not an accident, it’s structural. In this episode, we unpack: • The long-standing  funding gaps  in women’s health research • The near-halt of major US research databases since October 2025 • The consequences for  gender-specific research and medicine • How women turn dismissal into determination We’re so thrilled to introduce a guest who brings expertise, fire, and a fearless voice to this conversation.  To find out who this guest is, take a listen on your favourite podcast platform. Stick around for a  beautiful quote to carry you through the week. SUBSCRIBE for more shenanigans, honest chats on feminist issues, women’s health, sisterhood, and smashing the patriarchy — one cuppa at a time. Drop us a comment — we love hearing from you!
