Description
Two friends. One midlife journey. A thousand challenges. A million laughs.
Come and join the conversation. We're two friends with many shared challenges and experiences, but by far the biggest experience has been, and still is, midlife and menopause. Boy have we been on a journey with it. From perimenopause to full on meno, we've been together all the way sharing, supporting, encouraging and having each other's backs. Even holding each other when we've had our 'wall slider' moments (you'll hear more about this don't worry).
We've found things along the way that have worked for us, physically and emotionally but the things that really are getting us through are each other, our friendship and laughs. No matter what happens, we have plenty of laughs.
We want to share our experiences with you in the hope that you'll realise you're not alone, that you'll discover some things that might help you through this crazy but freeing phase of your life, and we hope you'll share with us too because we've still got plenty to learn and far to go.
We’ll have regular features ... •Lost and Found (or Lost & Never Found) •Fog Moments •Symptoms, Shares and Top Tips •Play Time - Just for Fun including Activities, Music, Makeup, Fashion etc.
Along the way, we’ll also be inviting some lovely special guests to join us to share their expertise and experiences. Above all, we hope you'll feel a part of our little community, safe enough to share and that you'll laugh along with us.
Enjoy listening.
Big love,
LouLou and Michele x

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 litt...
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 h...
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, ev...
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 ...

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 de...
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.

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 r...
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 re...
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 unsharabl...

In this open and honest session, Annie shares her own menopause journey, her acting background and how she came to be a yoga teacher. She explains simply and beautifully that yoga isn't just about getting on a mat and ...
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...
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.

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...
1Hi lovely Foggers and Foglets. Here we are again with Episode 5. It seems you like it and have asked for more. We couldn't be more flattered and thrilled. THANK YOU.This episode we're chatting about all things midlife midriff, bloating and bellies. If there's one thing that's guaranteed to have us not feeling like our former selves, it's that sluggish, bloated feeling that comes with our hormonal changes. It can really leave us feeling yuk. And when we reach in to the wardrobe for our fav out...
