Content advisory: this podcast episode contains themes of mental health and suicide*
It’s a family affair on this week’s podcast as Dr Louise is joined by her eldest daughter Jessica for a special episode on the eve of World Menopause Day.
Jessica talks frankly about the impact of PMS and coping with hormone changes with migraine, as well as the strategies that helped her. Mother and daughter also discuss the importance of demystifying menopause and hormone changes through honest conversations between families, friends – and even complete strangers.
This World Menopause Month, help us start the most menopause conversations – ever. Everyone’s menopause is individual and to help others understand and manage their menopause, we must break taboos, educate and start the conversation.

What an incredibly special, moving and educational conversation between daughter and mother. I am a 55 year old woman with twin daughters aged 20 years old and this rang true with us all. Thank you so very much for sharing. Two exceptional women!
