In this clip from Episode 2 of Women Out Loud, Dr Niamh Logue and Courtney Weybury speak honestly about libido during perimenopause and menopause. From physical symptoms to emotional weight, they explain why women often feel like something is wrong with them, and why that narrative needs to change.

There’s no switch that flicks when menopause starts – and no two journeys look the same. In this honest moment from Episode 2 of Women Out Loud, Dr Niamh Logue and Courtney Weybury explain why the transition into perimenopause and menopause is so varied, and why compassion matters most. If you’re feeling “off” and wondering what’s going on, this is for you.

From perimenopause to hormone therapy, libido to brain fog — this full episode breaks down what’s really going on during menopause.
Dr Niamh Logue (GP), Courtney Weybury (Physiotherapist), and Amy McElgunn (Practice Manager & Nurse) from Surf Coast Women’s Health Group cut through the confusion with facts, real talk, and plenty of laughs.
