In this powerful and deeply important episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Colette Edwards, founder and Chief Medical Officer of Positive Health, for a conversation about what's missing from today's menopause conversation — and why women deserve so much more than symptom management alone.

Together, we explore the deep gaps that still exist in women's healthcare, from the historical underrepresentation of women in medical research to the lack of menopause-specific training among healthcare providers. We discuss why menopause cannot be separated from the rest of a woman's life story — including stress, pregnancy, pelvic health, trauma, lifestyle, and long-term wellbeing.

We also explore the future of healthcare, the role of AI and digital medicine, and why education and self-advocacy are becoming essential tools for women navigating midlife today.

This episode challenges the increasingly simplistic narrative around menopause and hormone therapy, and instead advocates for a more nuanced, personalised, and empowering approach to women's health.
