And just like that we’re back for series 5! In this week’s educational and fun podcast Jinty and Lou chat to the wonderful Kate Codrington, author of the menopause self-care book Second Spring, there’s a lot of laughter and some tears in this open and honest chat, we discuss why rest doesn’t necessarily mean lying down and sleeping but can involve doing something that is restful to you. We have some fantastic comments from the Collective and we find out why festivals are not always a safe space for women and what’s being done about it. There’s a new Foodie for this month and it’s all about migraines as it’s national migraine awareness week. We will be bringing you food ideas and recipes that may help if you suffer with them. This week Jinty has made a very tasty and beneficial smoothie. Find out what happened with the WI (or not!) and there’s a new one for this month.And finally, we have a quote from Second Spring that we all need to live by. Kate Codrington is not only an author, she’s a mentor, speaker, facilitator, artist and therapist. A pioneering spirit Kate was the first to graduate as a Menstruality Therapist, she is also the host of a podcast, Life – An Inside Job. We discuss Kate’s book Second Spring and the benefits of life’s seasons and the stages of separation, surrender, emergence into your second spring is a transformative part of life.
