About this episode
Kia ora e te whānau!
In the melee of mid-life - which can be dense, frantic and fabulous all at once - we need spaces to listen to each other and to ourselves, and it’s useful to navigate those gritty ‘grey areas’ together.
This season, we aren’t holding back - digging deep into topics that matter most to us right now like hormones, skin, aging parents, courage and keeping on keeping on (and we add a little sparkle for good measure)!
Hormone Health: Dr Lara Briden joins Petra in person to give us more hormone hacks and mid-life metabolism love.
Intergenerational Living: Sir John Kirwan and Francesca Kirwan share the realities of modern family life.
Skin & Body Wisdom: We tackle nore of the "unspoken" stuff—from GSM (Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause) to skincare science with Dr. Iona Weir.
Taking Action: The powerhouse Brodie Kane joins us to talk about finding your voice and making moves.
Purpose & Determination: We sit down with Barbara Dreaver to discover what drives her.
Heart of the Matter: Real talk on the intersection of marriage and menopause.
