This week on Peri Pigs, Veronica and Penelope are back, sweating, spiralling and wondering what on earth their brains are up to!

A simple cup of tea is enough to trigger a full-blown hot flush, and the dreaded C-word... Christmas is already looming!

Are we completely emotionally dead inside, or are we crying over absolutely everything?

Expect hot flushes, hormonal chaos, Christmas dread, haunted memories and the usual Peri Pigs nonsense!

CODE RED! THE PIGS ARE IN CRISIS! 

Penelope has officially reached Code Red.

She’s burnt out, grumpy, not entirely in her right mind and, naturally, thinks the sensible solution is to… adopt more cats! 

Luckily, Veronica steps in to take control and delivers the only answer she can: NO. MORE. CATS. 

This week we’re talking about why the things that barely bothered us in our 20s can now send us into a full-blown rage, being grumpy old pigs, trying not to become total Debbie Downers and figuring out how to find a bit more joy in everyday life.

We also get into menopause clothing, Penelope’s questionable beauty skills after accidentally using lip liner as eyeliner, throwing caution to the wind and finally telling those endless “WHAT IF?” thoughts to jog on.

And, of course, there’s a healthy dose of Pig Mania thrown into the mix. Because sometimes you just have to stop overthinking, stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and say…

WHAT IF WE JUST BLOODY ENJOYED OURSELVES?! 

This week on Peri Pigs, Veronica and Penelope are proving that life in your 40s is basically a full-time juggling act… and we’re dropping every ball! 

Veronica is back from a Spanish bender, armed with an empty prosecco bottle and absolutely no regrets… although her body is now demanding a detox, vegetables and several early nights. 

Meanwhile, poor Penelope has been unwell, completely burnt out and overwhelmed by peri stress, reminding us that sometimes your body really does just scream “ENOUGH!” 

We chat about trying to eat healthier, the eternal battle with body image, whether we'd ever consider topless sunbathing, and the joys of getting older… including the uniquely terrifying possibility of sneezing and farting at exactly the same time. It’s another honest, hilarious and slightly chaotic chat about perimenopause, our bodies, our brains and trying to look after ourselves when we’d really rather be drinking prosecco in Spain.

Put the kettle on, grab a snack and join the Peri Pigs for another episode of oversharing, laughing and wondering what the hell is happening to us!

This week on The Peri-Pigs, the ladies are diving headfirst into the brutal realities of getting older. Veronica takes centre stage as she embraces her "bingo wings" and copes with the soul crushing moment Tesco stopped asking her for ID.

Meanwhile, boundary lines vanish as Veronica admits to placing her routine catch up calls to Penelope straight from the toilet bowl. Penelope recounts a chaotic morning commute diversion that sent her stress levels through the roof, and Veronica shares what happens when you finally stop filtering yourself and get a little too honest with your boss at work. Grab a brew and join in for the usual unfiltered chaos!

This week, the Peri Pigs are blaming the Wizard of Oz for EVERYTHING. Is he behind the mysterious switches being turned off in our perimenopausal brains? One minute we’re functioning normally, the next… BRAIN POWER FAILURE. Veronica is running late ...again, because she’s been distracted by approximately 47 things and has reached the point where she’s asking herself, “Am I actually too ugly to leave the house?” Meanwhile, Penelope is drowning in self-doubt and health anxiety, heading rapidly towards a full-blown mental breakdown… until Veronica attempts to drag her back from the edge. And just when the pigs thought their spa retreat would provide some much-needed peace and quiet… THE FLY ARRIVED. Because apparently even when you’re trying to relax, sleep in and practise self-care, the universe has other plans. Brain fog, anxiety, self-doubt, getting distracted, running late, mental meltdowns and one seriously irritating fly. Another week in the wonderfully chaotic world of the Peri Pigs. Grab a drink, switch your own brain back on and come join us! 

This week the Peri Pigs escape to a luxury spa retreat... for wellness, relaxation... and absolutely no bad decisions whatsoever. (Well, apart from secretly drinking Prosecco from a water bottle!)Join us as we chat about why self-care really matters, whether hotel room picnics are actually better than fancy restaurants, and the random intrusive thoughts that pop into your head the second someone starts giving you a massage.Expect laughs, spa gossip, a few questionable life choices, and proof that even in the calmest surroundings, your peri brain refuses to switch off!Grab your fluffy robe, pour yourself a drink (we won't judge what bottle it's in), and join us for our most relaxing episode yet... sort of!

Is it work burnout, or is it perimenopause? Spoilers: It’s both! This week, we are diving into the absolute chaos of trying to hold down a demanding career, survive grueling travel schedules, and stay functional when your hormones have completely left the chat.

We’re getting painfully honest about what happens when irregular routines and physical exhaustion trigger full blown cognitive fatigue, leading to those lovely daily memory lapses and a heavy dose of irrational paranoia. (Ever convinced yourself everyone hates you just because you're tired? Same.)

Most importantly, we're talking about why you simply cannot get through this phase alone. From the sheer therapeutic value of venting to a friend who actually gets it, to the absolute necessity of non judgmental spaces where you can unpack your wildest insecurities without fear of being called dramatic, this episode is a love letter to the support systems keeping us afloat.

Pack your bags, ditch the guilt, and join us for a proper catch-up!

If you thought last week’s medical chocolate was a lifesaver, wait until you hear about this week's survival tactics. We are diving deep into the absolute joy ride that is perimenopausal sensory overload. Ever gone into a shop for a pint of milk and ended up having a full-blown existential crisis because there were too many choices, too many lights, and your brain suddenly forgot how to use a trolley? Yep, we’ve been there.

This week, we’re talking about those intense emotional swings, the routine memory lapses that make you feel like you’re losing your marbles, and why minor hiccups suddenly feel like the actual end of the world.

But most importantly, we’re celebrating the absolute necessity of the Menopause Buddy System. We unpack why having a supportive wingman to navigate public spaces is a non-negotiable emotional crutch, how shared empathy stops us from feeling completely isolated, and why setting boundaries and finding your safe space is the ultimate act of self-care.

Grab your shopping buddy, leave your overthinking at the door, and join us for a proper laugh about the madness!

How do these feel for a follow-up? We can easily swap out elements of the title if there's a specific inside joke or phrase from the supermarket chat you want to pull out!

We're back!

This week, we're diving straight into the deep end. We're getting real about what happens when perimenopause brain fog takes over your job, why we're celebrating a referral to a specialist clinic and how we're managing anxiety induced overthinking.....and we also discuss about how we have repurposed a certain supermarkets red bags...

In this weeks episode, Veronica and Penelope reminisce losing their dignity in hospital, Penelope is exhausted after a long week at work of being overwhelmed and overstimulated, and the Pigs discuss off loading on each other.
