NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

So let’s drop our shoulders and take a breath and welcome my guest - Emily Norris

Emily is one of the original youtuber moms - she now has over 850k subscribers to her channel where she has shared vlogs on her life, home and health.

In this episode Emily opens about a recent panic attack and how it led her to realising that she was in perimenopause and needed to support her hormonal health.

From weight training to period cycle tracking so as to know when her tolerance would be low, to her relationship with coffee and alcohol and starting HRT this episode is such an open and relatable conversation about a very normal and all too common 40’s stretch.

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

So let’s drop our shoulders and take a breath and welcome my guest - Liz Dwyer. 

As Liz turned 40, her marriage ended.

We talk about that moment when her husband told her it was over, how putting all her energy into Future Beauty with her sister Nikki not only became a passion project but something that has gone on to help connect thousands of women with the right clinics for them and gave her back her financial security again.

And how ultimately she is grateful it all ended - that she has a second chance. And she is having so much fun with it. 

Future Beauty and Future Fertility shows will be taking over the RDS on Sat and Sunday March 1st and 2nd 2025.

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

So let’s drop our shoulders and take a breath – and welcome Suzanne Kane back to the pod.

Suzanne is a broadcaster on 98fm, a mother of 3 and 6 months ago she opened up here on Stretch Marks podcast about her perimenopause era. 

The response was a collective sigh of relief and gratitude from the thousands of women that had the same symptoms and had no idea what was going on for them. Suzanne inspired so many women in their 40’s to book those appointments and to stop waiting for the stereotypical symptoms of hot flushes to appear. Anxiety was a big enough sign. 

6 months on and a rollercoaster of HRT, she’s back to fill us all in.

She is a mother of 4, in her mid 40’s and has dedicated her career to helping us achieve career success with evidence-based psychology and practical strategies.

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

So let’s drop our shoulders and take a breath – it’s time to meet my last guest of 2024, Emily O’Donoghue @Fashionablyfortyish 

If you haven’t discovered Emily yet she is a mother of 2 girls who started her instagram 5 years ago to share her love of fashion which has grown into this really engaged community of women sharing and supporting each others growth, passions and health. 

She is 45, midway through her 40’s and gives us glorious nuggets of truth and wisdom in this conversation. 

We talk about how our 40’s is such a pivotal decade for women.

How moments in early motherhood with premature births and dangerously high blood pressure continue to leave their mark on her, and how she supports her mental health with anti depressants, movement, nutrition and great friends. 

As women in our 40’s we need to gather and connect - whether through social, on this pod or I hope in real life.

And this is that. It’s a beautiful celebration of connection. 

And the last episode to close out the year.

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

There comes a point for many of us where we slide into this “sandwich” generation of caring for young and caring for old.

And somewhere between the weight, worry and love for them all, we can ignore our bodies whispers - but as my guest today Kellie Billings explains, you can only ignore them for so long. 

Kellie is in her early 40’s, she's the Beauty Editor with Social and Personal Magazine, co-host of the Skin in the Game podcast, a mum of 3 girls and daughter of an incredible mother with alzheimers. 

And in August her body said no more and she needed urgent surgery for a perforated stomach ulcer while in Portugal on holiday. 

We talk about caring for her mam with Alzheimers, signs her body was not ok, and the lessons learned from her emergency health scare.

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

Please welcome women's pelvic health physio specialist Aoife Harvey - from @womenhealthdublin to the pod. 

Aoife has her own physio practice plus she is co founder of  mocohealth an app that shares birth recovery support. 

Like me she turned 40 earlier this year and like me she felt the stirrings of perimenopause - the brain fog, fatigue, and pms kicked in. 

We talk about her decision to get HRT, her love of the coil; and how as women she witnesses her clients suffer in silence with common pelvic symptoms, thinking this is our new normal.

And she is currently on a mission to make vaginal oestrogen an over the counter treatment in Ireland to minimise bladder issues, leaking, urinary tract infections, dryness and pain caused by the decreasing levels of oestrogen in the body.

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

It’s ALL TOO MUCH - written by Psychologist Allison Keating who has worked in her private practice for over 20 years. 

And she has never seen anything like the levels of anxiety, panic and overwhelm that women are experiencing today. 

She is warm and fun, honest and fair. And a balm for my nervous system because she gets it - she knows life right now, and her book is an essential resource for us all.

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

Meet Áine O'Donnell - one of my closest friends and favourite humans.

At 27 she was diagnosed with MS, Multiple Sclerosis, an incurable neurological condition that interrupts communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Eventually, the disease can cause permanent damage and loss of power.

At 40, she lost her dad, got married and learned that her hero drugs have failed her.

And this week, as this goes out, she begins the process of a Stem Cell Transplant in the UK - her last chance to hold back her advancing MS.

But it's not all tears. We laugh. We reminisce.

We talk about the grief of losing her dad. And marrying the love of her life Tara.

And in this one hour - she will teach you more about life than anyone could.

DONATE xx

To help with the financial burden of this fight, friends have set up a GOFUNDME page for Áine.

To donate to this page and support my wonderful friend, you can follow the link here.

Áine - we love you, fight like hell.
