The Parts We Hide

Our relationship with food, our bodies and the quiet judgements we carry about both. Dr Pennie Taylor APD brings a compassionate, evidence-based lens to a conversation most of us have only ever had with ourselves.

Half the population goes through it, yet almost nobody talks about it. Dr Beth Russ joins Victoria and Pennie for a frank conversation about perimenopause — the symptoms nobody mentions, the silence around them, and how to advocate for yourself when your own body feels like unfamiliar territory. 

The smile we wear when everything is falling apart. John Mannion of the Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation joins Victoria and Pennie to talk about the exhausting work of appearing fine — why so many of us feel we have no other choice, and what happens when the brave face finally comes down.
