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.

We first met Caro in  Series 7, Episode 3 , where she shared the story behind her book  12 Moons . She’s back to tell us about her powerful new memoir  Unschooled  — a moving and deeply honest look at the cracks in our education system, and the unseen, undervalued labour of caring and advocating for children. Caro’s story captures the exhaustion, love, and resilience of mothers and carers everywhere, and the freedom that can come when you dare to step outside the system. We talk about what it really means to be  unschooled  , as a mother, as a carer, and as a woman reclaiming her own identity. 🌿 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! 🎥 Watch the full interview on our YouTube channel. ☕ Support us on Ko-Fi:  https://ko-fi.com/womenkindcollectivepodcast ☕  SUBSCRIBE  for honest chats on women’s health, feminist issues, sisterhood & smashing the patriarchy, one cuppa at a time. 💛 Enjoying the podcast?
