Podcast Description
Are you peri or postmenopausal? Do you sometimes feel like you’re losing the plot? Would you love to talk about what’s going on with your mental & physical well-being? Or hear from other women who lost the plot and found it again or went on to rewrite themselves a new story? If so, we’ve got just the podcast.
Wild, Wise & Curious... lets you do the talking. We’re your hosts, Michelle & Lou! We’re not doctors or psychiatrists, but we are perimenopausal women with other skills and we believe there’s a wisdom in sharing all our stories. Back in the old days, it’s how we all learned! It was our own perimenopausal ‘losing the plot’ stories that led us to create this podcast.
In this podcast, we’ll be chatting with women, just like you, who want to share their stories and importantly, the gems they’ve learned along the way. Interested in joining us, please give us a follow and share with your peri meno mates!
* We cover many topics related to perimenopause and beyond, including anxiety, panic attacks and other symptoms associated with this stage in a woman’s life, so please bear this in mind if these topics could be triggering.

In this remote episode of Wild, Wise & Curious, we connect with Sarah — a British woman living in the U.S, who only recently discovered the word perimenopause… at age 50. Until she stumbled across this very podcast, it simply wasn’t on her radar.
After removing her coil, Sarah was suddenly hit with intense, heavy periods that felt like a flashback to her teenage years. She’s not sure if she’s in perimenopause — and that’s exactly what makes her story so powerful.
From fertility struggles, a miscarriage and an emotionally complicated pregnancy, to the silence surrounding women’s health in both the UK and the U.S, Sarah brings warmth, honesty and a generous dose of humour to the conversation.
This isn’t a symptom checklist — it’s a lived experience. One that reminds us how easy it is to be left in the dark about our own health, and how powerful it is when we start to speak up.
⚠️ Trigger Warning:
This episode includes discussion of miscarriage and a complicated pregnancy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners. Please take care while listening.
A quick heads-up as well: this was recorded remotely with our guest joining us from the U.S, so you may notice a little echo or audio feedback at times. Thanks for bearing with us — it’s worth it for the story.
