Sarah had so many questions when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and made an epic discovery in Dr Liz O'Riordan: a breast cancer surgeon who has had breast cancer herself. In this episode, we dive deep into the types of breast cancer, what happens to your menopause when you go through breast cancer treatment and we open the debate on supplements: for the menopause and breast cancer sufferers. Dr Liz has all the answers and a brilliant, No Bulllshit attitude that we are totally here for.

Dr Fionnuala Barton is the Menopause Medic and she really speaks our language!

Are you completely confused by the latest 'testosterone in menopause' information bombardment? Dr B is here to educate us on the latest in meno-developments. We also discuss how to cut down your to-do-list, why we can't hold our drink anymore, and the power and positive effects of a good orgasm. Throw in the Irregular Bitches regular chinwaggery and you've got a cracking episode, with Sarah managing to say "wank" at least four times!

On this episode we welcome the lovely Kate Thornton, broadcaster extraordinaire and podcast queen (https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/white-wine-question-time/id1447646731)

We talk about the 90s and 00s and doing pilots with (a then-unknown) Leigh Francis AKA Keith Lemon and she tells us candidly about her journey through peri-menopause and finding solutions to the myriad curveballs it throws at us midlife women; in Kate's case, paralysing anxiety. She is honest, open and disarmingly charming! Thank you Kate.

Please do leave us a review if you like what we're doing and as always...

STAY COOL B*TCHES.

In this booze-related bonanza we talk to Rosamund Dean, the author of a fantastic book that tells us how to moderate our drinking, (something both Irregular Bitches have had "issues" with in the past;) 'Mindful Drinking'.

There are Cocktail Confessions a-plenty and lots of tricks and tools to improve our relationship with alcohol and make menopause hangovers (THE WORST!) a thing of the past.

So pour yourself a Seedlip and Tonic (other non-alcoholic artisan drinks are available) and get involved.

Our fab guest can be found on INSTA: @rosamunddean and on her website rosamundden.com

This episode we hang out with our gloriously talented Irregular B*tches poet Donna Ashworth.

She has the ability to get into our brains and write out our every thought. Our core question is how the bloody hell does she do it? And what is her process for writing poetry that sums up exactly how we feel?

How her overthinking and emotional intelligence lead her to her talent and now her job as a poet.

How she looks after her mental health having opened herself up to us in her work.

And how she wants her work to help us accept who we are.

Oh and there is a little bonus bit of bants at the end from all of us. We hope you like it!

Donna's 'To the Women', 'The Right Words', 'I Wish I Knew' and many more incredible publications can be found on Amazon, her website and all good book shops. So why not buy a few copies, like we do, and pop them in your presents cupboard.

We don't subscribe to the idea that we are too old for certain styles. (except maybe Harry Styles, and even then...)

We don't believe that there is such a thing as "dressing your age"

We know midlife women can be as cool as F@*K... and today's guest DEFINITELY is...

Jodie Gillary is professional Style Coach and founder of The Styling Works. She specialises in helping women of all ages re-discover their style mojo and self image.

She shares with us how she helps women and shares some of her styling secrets - like the French tuck

Lou puts herself out there with a banging leopard print beret and we are working on Sarah to get those pins out.

Jodie can be found on Instagram @thestylingworks and on Facebook: The Styling Works: A community to help with all fashion and style issues!
