Wot The Fog _ Two friends. One midlife journey. A thousand challenges. A million laughs

Hi loves,  Well, it's been a minute or two but we're back! We've missed you and our chats.  Before we started recording this episode, we were chatting about why it's been a while and when we started delving and being really honest, which we always aim to be, we had reached a point where we really didn't know where we fitted in anymore. There was so much meno and midlife conversation going on, among celebrities, businesses and the like, we thought that maybe our humble little chats were old news and not needed or of value any more. BUT, you lovely lot messaged and emailed to ask where we were and when we'd be back and we really felt the love. So, here we are. THANK YOU!  You know us, we never have an agenda or a script, we just free flow and mostly, it seems to work out. This episode, we're chatting....  • Feeling depleted - energy, time, money. • Hunkering down - ' Wintering' • Strength and Immunity - the best ways to stay healthy • 8pm is the new midnight • Going with your own energy ebb and flow • Treating yourself like an old car (haha) • The 1st world problems of finding the right makeup - our current favs And of course.... • Our Fog Moments Thanks for listening to our little chunnerings. As always, we'd love you to join in by letting us know what you think and sharing your experiences.

Hello gorgeous Foggers and Fogglets,It's all about the positive vibes this episode lovelies. We're attempting to walk our talk and take our own medicine. For a while back there, it all got a bit much. We had so much going on in our personal lives and so many exciting things we wanted to do for you, our amazing community but we just didn't have the energy or capacity to do it all so we had to have a word with ourselves. Actually, we had a bored...oops, 'board' meeting haha, and thought about how we could best keep giving you value and stay connected while honouring our own needs too. So, we've decided that the best thing we can do is concentrate on this, the Podcast, where it all started but we're adding something new for you, a Blog. Every month, either Lou or Michele will share their thoughts, feelings and any interesting stuff they've come across or think you'd like. We really hope you like it. As usual, this is a packed episode.  We're talking....• Asking for and accepting help when we need it.• Recognising messages to slow down.• Creating space for thinking and feeling.• Realising we can't control everything & learning to just 'let go and go with the flow'.• We're all creative in our own ways. We just need to find the right thing.• Speech problems - getting muddled. • Risk assessing - do we cause our own accidents and incidents?• "Where attention goes, energy flows." The negatives and positives of that phrase.• New lives, third age and new starts. New opportunities for fun as we age.and of course....• Our Fog MomentsThanks for listening to our rambles. As always, we'd love you to join in by letting us know what you think and sharing your experiences. You can do that in our private Facebook group (link below) or by emailing us privately at chat@wotthefog.com. We'd love to hear from you.Until next time lovely ones, you know it...."Stay sane. Don't lose it."Big love,Michele and Lou xP.S.

Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets,We're back and ready to share what's been happening while we've been away. It's been a tough ol' time for us both lately so we chose to step back a little to rest and regroup.That got us thinking about how we go about things and how we treat ourselves. When we speak to you lovely gals, you tell us that, like us, you often feel you just have to 'get on with it', 'battle on', 'push through'. Well maybe it's time to change all that. We're not at war with anyone, even ourselves, so let's stop acting like warriors.  It's not how it's meant to be, especially at this stage of our lives. It's time to be honest with ourselves and others about it too. Let’s stop making excuses and just be honest about what we feel, what we’re capable of and even what we want.So, our words for the year are ACCEPTANCE and HONESTY. What do you think? Can we embrace them? It'll be so liberating and freeing if we can. Our mood isn't helped by winter of course. First comes festive chaos followed by new year pressures! Isn't it madness that we start the new year in the middle of winter? It’s not how it’s meant to be. Celtic new year, what our ancestors would have lived by, begins on 1 February. It’s called Imbolc. It’s when new growth, birth and the return of the light/sun is celebrated. Spring doesn’t start officially until 21 March. In winter, we’re meant to, well, ‘winter’. Rest, heal and feed ourselves, nutritionally and emotionally. That doesn’t mean doing nothing, it just means slowing down, and making a decision not to join the race, the rat race. Set your own pace.We share lots more around all this in this episode, as well as talking about... • Mille Fois of crap• Inherited ‘get on with it’ strategies• Young people ‘work to live’, unlike what we were taught• Putting off the important things and people• Depression in menopause – is it menopause or stage of life? Both? It’s a     rollercoaster.• If we’re the ones who usually lift others up and care for them, is it hard to admit you    can’t do that anymore?• Winter blues – SAD• Michele’s dry eye, sore eyelid solution and lack of diagnosis - update• Gratitude practice - Michele's routineWe've packed a lot into a short episode this time lovelies. We'd love to hear what you think. Don't forget, you can always email us or come over and join us in our private Facebook group. All the deets are down below.PLEASE tell all your fab female friends about the Podcast and the Event and let's get as many women in midlife and menopause well informed and supported as we can.Support the Show.………………………………………………………… We hope you enjoy listening.

Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets,  We're back again for another jam packed, random conversation episode. How have you been?  As it's 'World Menopause Month' and we just had 'World Mental Health Day', we thought we'd talk about the lesser known and talked about emotional and mental health symptoms of midlife and menopause.  In this extended episode, we talk about...  • The physical-emotional symptom connection. • Meno conversation reaching parliament and the women's health check at 45 proposal. • How do we know what's menopause related, what's natural ageing and what might be something else? • Keeping positive - less problems, more solutions. • The importance and healing power of staying connected, being part of a community and of sharing. • Can Michele find a magic sleep solution for Lou's insomnia? • GP availability - what's your experience? • Taking time out - 10 mins, 3 times a day is a valuable half hour.  AND MOST IMPORTANTLY..... Are you coming along to the FREE 'Meet the Experts' event being held in our private Facebook Group on Tuesday 25, Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 October? Each evening at 6pm and 7.30pm GMT, an expert will be coming along LIVE to share their knowledge, tips and loveliness with us. You will have chance to interact (if you want to) and get your questions answered so please show up to support them, us and your fellow Foggers and Fogglets. You'll be getting priceless stuff on: gut health, fashion and styling, how scent can affect and improve our well-being, skincare and facial yoga, body strengthening to avoid osteoporosis and winding down with a beautiful relaxing sound bath.  Find out more about all the presenters at our website http://wotthefog.com and make sure your come and join the Facebook Group (link below) where it'll all be happening. If you want to leave after the event, we'll miss you, but we won't try to stop you. PLEASE tell all your fab female friends about the Podcast and the Event and let's get as many women in midlife and menopause well informed and supported as we can. 'til next time lovelies, you know it...."Stay sane. Don't lose it."Big love,Michele and Lou x…………………………………………………………We hope you enjoy listening.

Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets,  We're back with Episode 17 and we're so grateful that you're still listening.  We're also SO grateful for those of you who are helping to keep us showing up by making donations via 'Buy Me a Coffee' (link below). THANK YOU this month to Emma S and Clare. Mwah.Things you can join in with and have a laugh at this Episode are….• Lost and found…a continuing theme (Lou updates us on her lost glasses)• Forgotten sunscreen and deep fried skin.• COVID. Is it worse and is recovery longer during menopause?• How can we have an accident in an empty house?• Jelly shoes. Remember those? • Do you ever really stop and do absolutely NOTHING? Try lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. What’s your favourite way to do nothing?• Do you take ‘fresh air baths’?• Travelling alone. Scary or freeing?• Our new catchphrase “Get your best on.”  And of course....our FOG MOMENTS!A couple of big missions we’re embarking on are ‘Menopause in the Workplace’ an HRT shortages. There still isn’t enough awareness or planning in workplaces and we think that every business should have a menopause policy and a menopause advocate, male or female. We’re also getting increasingly concerned about stories we’re hearing from our community about horrendous HRT shortages so we’re investigating it. Watch this space! We might be asking you to paint a placard with us!Wherever you are in the world, please let us know what the menopause conversation is like and what the HRT situation is. Please join in the conversation and share your experiences with us. That’s what builds community and how we help other women like us. You can share privately by email or join our private Facebook Group.

Hi lovely Foggers and Foggiest,Well, we know we bleat on about gut health a lot so we thought it was about time we brought in a real bonfire expert to tell us more about how important it is,  bust some of the myths and give us some simple but effective tips to improve it.We were so thrilled to have the fabulous Emily Foster from A Gusty Menopause along to chat to us about all this. Emily is a qualified dietician and nutritionist both here in the UK and in her home country, Canada. She definitely qualifies as an 'expert' and as a bonus, she's absolutely lovely!Some of the things Emily covers for us are….• How she came to specialist in gut health for midlife and menopause• How we can decipher what might be menopausal and what is gut health related and does it matter?• How fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone levels can slow down the time it takes to process food, often leading to things like : - Acid Reflux, Constipation, Gas• To juice or not to juice?Emily tells us how to easily but effectively improve our gut health through her acronym N.A.M.E and recommends an app to track fibre levels in our food.We have a fantastic time chatting with Emily and learned so much. We think you will too. This is such an important subject for us midlife gals that we think we'll have to ask Emily to come back…probably again and again.If you have any questions about this Episode (we have feeling you will), please let us know. Please join in the conversation and share your experiences with us. That’s what builds community and how we help other women like us. You can join our private Facebook group, message us on Instagram or email us. All the links are below. Go and find Emily now!! We can't recommend her enough. The best place to find her is on Instagram at @a_gutsy_menopause or you can visit her website at https://agutsymenopause.com Huge love & gratitude, Michele and Lou x…………………………………………………………We hope you enjoy listening.

Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets,We're back with Episode 15 and we're grateful that you're still listening, particularly since this time it's been a bit longer than usual due to travel traumas and double doses of the dreaded virus. Recovery is taking longer than we thought. Thanks for sticking with us loves.We're also SO grateful for those of you who are helping to keep us showing up by making donations via 'Buy Me a Coffee' (link below). This month a mahoosive THANK YOU to our long suffering fab early supporter Fiona. Fiona, your generosity and support as SO appreciated.So, since we last took up your time, we've both travelled a bit (separately btw) for the first time in literally years. The whole experience wasn't without its challenges but we survived. In this episode we're sharing our travel, or more paritucuarly 'pre' travel, anxieties with you and we'd love to hear whether your feelings around travel have changed since midlife and menopause showed up.Other things you can join in with and have a laugh at this Episode are….• Losing things within literally seconds of having them in your hands and having no recollection what you did with them.• Short fuses and lack of patience and tolerance.• Pelvic Floor Exercises being good for bowel issues too.• Keeping it Real : Why do advertisers still insist on glamorising the unglamorous?!• Official List of Meno Symptoms has gone up from 34 to 37!• Embracing our FLAWESOMENESSAnd of course....our FOG MOMENTS!Please join in the conversation and share your experiences with us.

We also covered....• Never too old to learn something new - the right way to drink through a straw (particularly anything acidic like apple cider vinegar) and the right way to apply mascara to avoid those pesky forehead wrinkles.• Upping our self care and looking at where we can reclaim some time and money so that we can do something for ourselves. Not everything costs money.  We're fans of walking, reading, visiting the library, meeting and chatting with a friend.• No hands facial massage and cryogenics! Lou turned up looking all glowy and radiant and has lots to share with us about it.• Keyless living• What we're watching on the telly boxAnd of course....our FOG MOMENTS!Please join in the conversation and share your experiences with us.

Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets, how've you been since we last chatted?Firstly we want to say a mahoosive THANK YOU to 'Dam'. We don't know who you are but we're so SO grateful for your incredibly generous donation to our little cause via 'Buy Me A Coffee' (link below). We don't charge or sell anything so your generous donations and and our own money is what keeps us going. We literally couldn't do it without you.Now we're a year old, we’ve gone all grown up and serious and got new microphones. We'd managed long enough with one 15 year old microphone between us and we want to make the Podcast a better listen. We hope it does! So lovelies, Spring has sprung and here at WTF, we're shedding the winter blues along with our winter wardrobe. It feels so good. Spring is a great time for clearing out and new starts. We're full of optimism and anticipation....at the moment. Watch this space. In this Episode, our giddiness has got us talking about: • Lou's HRT journey• Weighted blankets• The burst of information on meno & midlife; is it good or bad to have so much info?• Midlife layers of responsibility• Good Gut health, why it's important and generation reasons for bad gut health. The 70's & 80's were the decades of processed & novelty foods, microwaves and stress. Think Angel Delight, Pop Tarts, Fray Bentos pies…how many can you remember?• Decluttering but being careful not to throw things you might regret.• The power of the mind and how it can play tricks on us to protect us or distract us.• Lou's 'Turn down the dial' calming technique.• Full moons and woowoo stuff than can help us if we're open to it, especially when it comes to judging ourselves and seeking perfection.and of course....• Our 'Fog Moments' - kamikaze phones and costly foggy events.Please join in the conversation and share your experiences with us. That’s what builds community and how we help other women like us. You can share privately by email or join our private Facebook Group.

Well, can you even Adam and Eve it? It’s almost the end of another crazy year! Who’s have thunk it? Another year of topsy turvy, inside out and upside downness and all while navigating the shark infested waters that are the Menopause. Listen girls, f we can survive this lot, we’re coming out with wings, a crown and some serious superpowers.So, for our final podcast of the year, we’re doing a bit of reflecting and realising that we have so much to be grateful for. Gratitude, it seems, is our real superpower. What we’re most grateful for is that in less than a year, we’ve been joined by you, our incredible community and we’ve made so many amazing connections. Our little Podcast project has given us purpose, touched and helped others and made us feel pretty damn useful and good about ourselves. What more can we say, other than THANK YOU!As 2021 rushes out, join us to think about what you’re grateful for, what you want more of and what you definitely want less of from now on. We’re with you all the way.See you over in 2022 lovely Foggers and Fogglets.Until then, you know it…”Stay Sane. Don’t Lose it.”Huge love,Michele and Lou x…………………………………………………………We hope you enjoy listening.

Hey lovely Foggers and Fogglets,Here we are again with another WHOAH episode. We've always vowed there's nothing we would shy away from talking about and we listen carefully to our lovely community. You lead the conversation here at WTF and you've been telling us that physical intimacy...SEX in other words, is something that can be a HUGE challenge when we hit meno. Not just because of the physical, biological changes we experience but because of the emotional stuff too.Whether you're in a relationship or not, there are things in the personal experiences we're sharing this episode that we're sure will resonate with you and help you.We're also talking about misdiagnosis, trusting medical professionals and listening to our bodies and intuition when it comes to deciding on the right path, treatment and direction for us. Every one of us has a different meno experience and everyone in our community is at a different stage, facing different challenges. It's only by bravely sharing, starting and joining in  conversations that we gather enough strength and enough experience to make a difference so LET'S DO IT LADIES! We're in this together and we'll come out the other side together too!As usual, we're also sharing our FOG MOMENTS, saying massive THANK YOU's to those of you who have supported us via 'BUY ME A COFFEE' and finishing off with some positivity and a few giggles.Our Podcast and Community are funded solely by us and by our amazing supportive community making little dontation (Buy Me A Coffee). We don't have sponsors, funders, fancy schmancy marketing and social media professionals helping us. It's just lil ol' us finding our way and sharing what we know and experience in the hop it'll help other amazing women.Until next time lovelies, you know it....STAY SANE, DON'T LOSE IT!Huge love,Michele and Lou x...................................................................................................We hope you enjoy listening.

Hey lovely Foggers and Foglets,Well phew, what a month it's been here at Wot The Fog HQ since our last episode.  In the words of Boyzone, "Life is a rollercoaster, just gotta ride it."Life can throw us so many curve balls and when we have meno to deal with alongside it all, it gets tough doesn't it? That's why we created our incredible community, so that we can share, support each other and have each other's backs.You know Lou and Michele are never afraid to share the seemingly unsharable because we know that when you know that other women facing similar challenges, it makes things more bearable. So, this episode we're stepping in to uncharted territory and talking about one of the symptoms of meno that people just don't talk about. Constipation! I know!! Did we really do that?We also share some major fog moments and of course find things to be positive about and to laugh about too. That's so important and it's how things roll here.We'd love you to get involved in our conversation so leave your reviews and comments and come and join us over on Insta or in our  FB Group if you prefer a more private place to share.Everything we do is made possible by you and your generous donations via 'BUY US A COFFEE' so if you like listening in and being a part of our community, maybe you'd like to buy us a cup or two so we can carry on carrying on.

Here at WTF we're all about our lovely members, our community. We started this whole journey to share our experiences in the hope it would let other women know they're not alone with all the crazy things we experience during menopause and to give them the support, encouragement and opportunity to speak out about how they feel, what they're going through and what they've learned.We've always said we want you to feel as if you're joining us for for our weekly coffee and chat so, we want to open up the conversation to you, our amazing community members.First up for our Member Spotlight is one of our earliest supporters, all round bloomin' superwoman and beautiful soul, Jools McCheyne. Jools agreed to chat to us about how she's handling holding down a full time job, healing her physical pain, being a Mum to teenage boys, studying for an HNC and all while going through the menopause. She shares what she's done to get through, what she's still struggling with and how important it is to have the right support around you.Thank you SO MUCH our Jools for being so generous, open and honest and blinkin' lovely.We honestly couldn't do this without our listeners and community members so if you want to share your unique meno journey by taking the Member Spotlight, just give us a shout. All the ways you can find and reach us are listed below.We really hope you enjoy being a part of our conversations and we hope you have a few laughs with us but most of all, we hope you feel you’re not alone in this crazy life phase.Big love,Michele & Lou 💓x...................................................................................................We hope you enjoy listening.

Hey lovely Foggers and Foglets, welcome to Episode 8, the final episode of Season 1. Yikes, it it that time already?!We honestly can’t believe we’ve made it this far, or that we even got started in the first place, but we feel so blesse to have had such incredible support and to have built such an amazing community.

It’s so good to know you’re enjoying what we do here at WTF and your donations help us keep it all going and grow this movement for us all. In this episode we’re going raw and baring our souls as we share a couple (there are lots so this might have to be a mini series) Meltdowns and Wall Sliders, as we call them. Those moments when it all just became too much, overwhelm set in. the red mist descended and the valve had to pop and we needed to shout "THERE SHE BLOWS. STAND ASIDE!" If you can relate and have 'wall slider' moments of your own you'd be prepared to share, we would love to hear them so that we don't feel it's only us.We really hope you enjoy being a part of our conversations and we hope you have a few laughs with us but most of all, we hope you feel you’re not alone in this crazy life phase.Big love,Michele & Lou 💓x...................................................................................................We hope you enjoy listening.

Well, all we can say this episode is "Thank goodness for understanding good gal pals." We've been discombobulated and all over the show lately and we're blaming the Full Pink Super Moon...and Meno of course. Well, who wouldn't?If you've been feeling the flux too, it's worth considering that if the moon can control the tide and we're over 60% water, then it makes total sense that it can pull and push us too doesn't it? This particular full moon is in Scorpio. Scorpio has a masculine energy and the moon is all about the feminine, so there's another push-me-pull-you situation. So give yourself a break if you're struggling to focus, feeling agitated or particularly fog brained. We feel ya and we've got ya.As usual, there's even more. As well as sharing the usual Fog Moments (there are some doozies this episode), we talk about....• It's never too late to start something new.• Careers and 'Sliding Doors' moments• Fearlessness.• Decluttering.• Creativity.• Bigging yourself up.We hope you enjoy joining in with the conversation.Michele & LouLou x....................................................................................................................................................We hope you enjoy listening.
