We were never meant to do any of this alone. And yet, alone so many are. Or more specifically, an astonishing number of people are lonely. And it's wreaking havoc on our mental and physical health.

This week's guest, Dr Jody Carrington, is passionate about human connection. She explains why connection is declining, the impacts of disconnection, what's standing in the way of connection and what we can do about it. It's one of the most powerful episodes we've shared.

With our brain at the helm, the hormonal changes we experience through perimenopause affect how we think, feel, cope, react, sleep, the density of our bones, our heart health, our patience, our tolerance, how we look, how we feel about life as a whole and so much more. Shockingly, nearly 1 in 4 women report feeling as though life is not worth living through this stage of life which can unfold over many years.

Any significant life change can see us knocking on the door of our local GP for help. GP's are incredible for SO many reasons, but relatively few have the kind of perimenopausal expertise many women need. From her personal experiences, and her work in clinic with menopausal women, Clinical Psychologist Kirsten Bouse saw a critical need for skilled, experienced, passionate healthcare providers who could support women on their perimenopause journey with expertise. She founded 'All About Her - The Centre for Menopause' and joined me for this week's episode to talk about the magic and messiness of this life stage for women, and where women can turn to for specialist help.
