Go on then.

We've also got at happyplace.market.

That is where you can buy loads of gorgeous goodies from small brands.

Most of them are UK brands.

A lot of them are female owned and people who are super passionate about what they make.

It's a lovely little marketplace.

All right.

Huge thanks again to Dr. Julie and to you because you are bloody brilliant.

Happy Place is researched by me, Fern Cotton.

The producer is Anushka Tate at Happy Place Studios with studio engineering by Basil Oxtoby.

Hello and massive welcome to Happy Place with me Fern Cotton.

This is the show that empowers you with knowledge so you can make the decisions that are right for you.

Today I'm chatting to Louise Newson.

Hey, how are you all?

I hope you are well.

Look, this is a chat that I've needed to have for a very long time.

Hands up any women that are listening right now that are of a certain age that have got their heads buried firmly in the sand when it comes to perimenopause and menopause, because that is me.

I am in complete denial.

Whenever anyone mentions the menopause or perimenopause, I just think, oh my God, stop talking about it.

I can't think about it.
