This podcast is my treat to myself. I’ve listened to every single episode and learn something wonderful about someone amazing every time. Karen has a great way of enjoying the chat whilst bringing up some very personal moments - I’ve learned so much about humanity and the power of sharing from this podcast.
A space to rest, listen and feel community

A wonderful podcast that shares many Menopause experiences. This is a safe space to hear our shared experiences from women of colour that have walked through life on a path that many of us will recognise. Karen is a superb host with a calm aura.
Absolutely Fabulous!

I am a 49year old black woman, currently 2 weeks into recovering from hysterectomy surgery due to fibroids. I was very interested in listening to the episode when Karen spoke to a lovely lady about her surgical menopause journey. As well as my mum and older sister and cousin, I have a couple of friends who have also been through this and I’ve been able with talk with them about surgical menopause. All different experiences, may I add! However, because of how common fibroids are amongst black women, there needs to be more discussion around fibroids and at what point a hysterectomy becomes your only realistic option for treatment- which then comes with its own issues of surgical menopause. I am SO glad I’ve found this pod cast, it’s so informative and uplifting, I’ll be tuning in to the next season. In the meantime, I’ll be catching up with this season! Many thanks, Alex

I only stumbled across this podcast one week ago (it’s Thu 8.2.23!!!i I feel totally blessed. I can’t stop listening. The black women being interviewed by Karen have totally blown me away. I have yet to NOT relate to the stories. I am HOOKED and enjoy listening to the older discussions during the height of the pandemic. My social science brain find the interviews fascinating! Enjoy! I certainly am!! Jules xxx

Wowsa! Have been meaning to tune in since lockdown but alas just tuned into my first episode and blown away by sheer level of openness, honesty and such warmth and safety provided by you Karen. This will be a game changer for me as think shied away from listening as didn't know where I was on menopause journey during lockdown and 2020 was A LOT in so many ways. But now feel this is such a valuable resource listening to women who look like me talk about menopause YASS Karen! Thank You and to everyone who shared their journey, THANK YOU💜💜

Being black and peri menopausal this podcast has been a god send! It’s helped me so much to hear other women sharing their personal stories and experiences. I have listened to all episodes and need more!!
A ‘must listen and share!’

I stumbled across this podcast last year and have been listening ever since. As a black woman who is peri menopausal it has been invaluable to hear other women’s journeys. It’s lovely listening to women (including Karen) being so open and honest. This should have been made donkeys years ago but very glad I have this podcast in my life now. Well done Karen and a massive thank you for identifying this important gap and filling it, so well. Keep up the great work. 🙌🏾💜👌🏾
Such a wonderful and uplifting show

This is such a Great podcast with a mixture of personal and wider experiences to learn from. I have learned so much and it has made me feel seen and empowered. I have learned about such a wide range of people that has led to more listening and more reading and I’ve been supported and understood. Although I’m not the targeted demographic, I have benefitted so much and want to say thanks to Karen for helping me feel differently about my experiences and my journey! Could not recommend it enough!
My No.1 podcast
