Description
Womankind Collective: Spill The Tea Podcast
Women’s health, gender bias, extraordinary stories, and the menopause conversation, served with honesty, humour, and heart by authors and lifelong friends Jinty and Lou.
Every Sunday we spill the tea on the stuff society shies away from: hormones, health, relationships, equity, midlife pivoting, and finding your confidence again, plus menopause, because it keeps coming up for good reason. No topic’s off-limits and no conversation is too awkward. With expert guests including Menopause specialists, GPs, Gynaecologists, Nutritionists, Sleep Therapists, Advocates, and Comedians, we mix evidence-based facts with real talk, real laughs, and the occasional faux pas.
Beyond the podcast, we’re authors of Tackling Gender Bias in the Healthcare System: What Patients Stories Teach Us About Implementing Systemic Change, and our #WheresMyClinic campaign helped bring the NHS Devon Menopause Service to life. We founded Exmouth’s first Menopause Café and hosted BBC Radio Devon’s first-ever menopause café.
Find us daily on Instagram as Womankind Collective.
New episodes every Sunday, grab a cuppa and join us. It’s time to spill the tea.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
