This hour-long episode is our omnibus edition, bringing together all six of our incredible guests — from wellbeing coaches to sound healers — each sharing their wisdom and tools to help you thrive.
And the best bit? Over the next six episodes, we’ll be spotlighting each expert individually, so you can dive deeper into their advice and experience.
So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let’s celebrate how far we’ve come — and how much more there is to flourish.

Welcome to Meno Quirks – Episode 9 and three-quarters!Our quick quirky Minisode – a short, playful introduction to the world of Meno Quirks.

And this episode features original music by Ian Luckett (aka DATA) – you can find his work over on https://ianluckett.bandcamp.com/
So grab a cuppa, lean in, and let’s dip our toes into the quirks that make menopause uniquely ours.

In this episode, we’re joined by Aline Boblin from Menopause Knowledge (CIC) to talk about raising awareness, sharing lived experiences, and supporting people through menopause.
