Description

For 10 years, Aileen and Julie have been each other's sounding board from opposite sides of the globe – Aileen in London and Julie in Melbourne.

They have navigated everything – motherhood, relationships, menopause, health, grief, and everything in between – through daily voice messages. These exchanges often became lifelines, and now they share that space with their listeners.

In You Keep Me Sane, Aileen and Julie hold honest conversations on life's challenges, growth, and connection. They lend an ear and share heartfelt insights, creating a space that allows both them, and you, to be human.

Listeners are encouraged to write in with their own experiences and topics, becoming part of the conversation that feels like a chat with close friends.

We explore the difference between someone’s personality and their stress response, especially when life has been stretching them for too long. Thi...
Episode Overview In this episode, we read a listener letter from Sarah, who describes something many women feel but rarely say out loud - the quiet sense of being “in between” versions of themselves. Life looks good on paper. Nothing is obviously wrong. But something doesn’t feel quite right either. We explore what happens when the roles we’ve held for years start to loosen, and instead of clarity, we’re met with questions. This is a conversation about identity, change, and why this stage of ...
Episode Overview In this episode, we’re joined by menopause practitioner Laura Lambe for a clear, reassuring conversation about what really happens to women during perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause. We talk about why so many women feel blindsided by this phase — the brain fog, fatigue, body changes, sleep issues, anxiety, low confidence, and the feeling that the old rules no longer work. Laura explains why this isn’t a personal failing. Your body is going through one of the biggest ...
