This week in The Lounge I welcomed a guest who had me in goosebumps half the time and brought some serious BME - (Big Matriarch Energy) - a term which I've just coined...at least I think nobody else has used it anyway!

Jane Hardwicke Collings, the founder of The School of Shamanic Womancraft, an international Women’s Mysteries School, came on to discus menopause and rites of passage.

We chatted about the misunderstood elements of menopause and peri-menopause, debunked some misinformation and myth around it as something to be pathologised and approached from the disease model of medicine, and covered lots of ground as we meandered through the ways in which menopause can be seen and used as a gift, and an important, potent rite of passage.

We also talked about libido in menopause, how the way you bleed and birth are reflected in the way your move through menopause, how to navigate it with grace and help support yourself to have an easier time, and "symptoms" versus "signals" from your body. There's SO much good stuff in here and Jane is a wealth of knowledge and passion so I absolutely loved this interview!

Plus you can expect all the usual antics and hilarious, vulnerable n' relatable personal stories and signature segments that you've come to know and love here in The Labia Lounge!

Make sure you're subscribed for more LL action, and it'd absolutely warm my heart and tickle my clit if you'd leave a gushing review or five star rating for the poddy!
