Wild, Wise & Curious...
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.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Explores topics related to perimenopause such as anxiety, weight loss, HRT, and personal growth, with episodes featuring individual stories like Philippa's weight journey and Maria's experience with anxiety and health remedies.
Welcome to Wild, Wise & Curious – the podcast where midlife, perimenopause and post‑menopause become a wild awakening rather than a slow unravelling. If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing the plot, rewriting it or stepping into a new chapter, you’re in the right place.
We’re Michelle & Lou – not experts, just two midlife women with lived experience, curiosity and a deep belief in the wisdom of shared stories. Michelle, a scriptwriter, has always been drawn to the power of narrative – how stories shape us, heal us and bring us together. Lou, with a background in psychology, is fascinated by the human experience and the ways we make sense of our lives.
Naturally curious and happily chatty, we love listening to women’s stories and helping others feel seen, heard and valued. Wild, Wise & Curious was born from that shared love of conversation, curiosity and community. What began as two women talking honestly about our own midlife experiences has blossomed into rich, meaningful conversations with guests from all walks of life… and we LOVE it!
Each episode, we sit with real women navigating anxiety, panic, hormonal chaos, identity shifts, grief, joy, rage, rebirth and everything in between. Their honesty is medicine. Their laughter is grounding. Their wisdom rises from the lives they’ve lived and the truths they’ve reclaimed.
Wild, Wise & Curious is a community, a conversation and a reminder that you’re not going mad – you’re unbecoming what you were taught so you can remember who you are.
Follow, subscribe and share with your midlife mates. Trigger note: we discuss anxiety, panic and emotional wellbeing, so please take care while listening.

Andrea was once too scared to drive over a bridge she’d crossed hundreds of times – just one symptom in years of perimenopause that brought rage, anxiety and brain fog so severe it left her wondering if she had dementia.
These symptoms went unidentified for years, with no one joining the dots to perimenopause.
It took watching Davina McCall’s documentary for everything else to click – the “a-ha” moment that she wasn’t broken, she was in fact perimenopausal, and that this was ‘normal’. Now, after recognising traits of ADHD in herself, raising three children, and running her own business through all of it, Andrea has become a menopause coach and runs the Scottish Pause Summit – a holistic event supporting women at every stage of menopause.
We talk through the patchy, inconsistent nature of the current medical support, why community and shared experience matter so much, and Andrea’s next chapter helping women build tech skills as they navigate career transitions alongside everything else.
The summit lands on World Menopause Day, 18th October, in Glasgow. And you can find out more here: https://scottishpausesummit.co.uk
