This week we’re Spilling the Tea on midlife rebranding — and joining us is the amazing Cally Beaton!

She’s a former TV executive turned stand-up comedian, writer, speaker, podcaster (you may know her from Namaste Motherfckers*), and now author of the brilliant new book of the same name.

In this empowering, hilarious episode, Cally shares her bold pivot from boardrooms to comedy clubs, sparked by an unexpected conversation with Joan Rivers.

Her book — part memoir, part manifesto — is a no-BS guide to reinvention in midlife, identity, creativity, ageing, and the messy magic of showing up as your full self.

We chat about feminism, failure, purpose, power and (of course) meet Jeff the dog 🐶

🔥 In this episode of Spill The Tea with the Womenkind Collective, we’re joined by Jennifer Cox (psychotherapist, author, global mental health advocate) and Salima Saxton (coach, writer & performer) — the bold voices behind the Women Are Mad podcast and the WAMWay.

🎙️ We dive into:

• Why women are really angry (and why it matters)
• How female rage is misunderstood, repressed, and redirected
• Friendship alchemy & growing up without mobile phones
• The joyful chaos of party phone lines (yes, really!)
• Guilty pleasures and finding power in real talk

💥 Expect a lot of laughter, a bit of swearing, and some serious truth bombs. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too emotional”, “too much”, or “too angry” — this one’s for you.

📚 Plus, in Book Club we chat about chapters 8 & 9 of How To Kill A Witch by Claire Mitchell & Zoe Venditozzi — diving into the Salem witch trials and the dark history of misogyny in the legal system.

✨ Stick around for a beautiful quote to carry you through the week.

Welcome to Spill The Tea with Womenkind Collective!

Where we’re diving deep into the conversations that matter and this week we wanted to talk about the confusing and often dangerous nutrition advice that is flooding social media, so who better to tackle the unhealthy mis-information than our very good friend and qualified nutritionist and chef, Emma Ellice-Flint. 

Emma blends evidence based science with her years of knowledge to give people, especially those going through the menopause trustworthy and delicious nutritional advice.

We also talk about the overwhelming supplement advice, as she discusses why she co-founded HeraRise to ensure women received what they needed in one drink. 

So, let’s get some common sense and fact based science on the diet and supplement industry and bust those unhealthy myths, so grab a cuppa (or a green smoothie) and take a listen to Emma’s guide to separating the facts from the fluff.

Our Book Club book for this series is How To Kill A Witch. A guide For The Patriarchy, by Claire Mitchell & Zoe Venditozzi. This week we meet the ‘six John’s’ who are at the fore of hunting the witches, and why the sexual element is so important, its men who tortured, questioned and examined women’s bodies accused of witchcraft. Next week we are reading chapters 6 & 7 we love hearing your thoughts on the book so join in with our Book Club, send us a DM or voice note.

There’s some weekly inspiration to give you some good news stories that you might have missed, and there’s a beautiful quote to send you off for the week with.

It’s an episode brimming with chat and all the usual sweary shenanigans! So, go and get the kettle on and settle in for our weekly collective chat while we spill the tea!

Welcome to Episode 5, Series 13 of Spill The Tea with Womenkind Collective!

We’re diving deep into the conversations that matter—exploring the real, raw, and often overlooked topics affecting our health and well-being. 

This week we are talking about how our hair changes during menopause and mid-life with the wonderful Paul Windle of Windle Lab London. 

Paul has over 35 years industry experience and is one of the UK’s most respected hairdressers, who is now on a mission to help people struggling with the changes in their hair as they age, he has founded Windle Lab, a range of products specifically aimed at mid-life hair, with the help of his team they are helping hundreds of women, from hair loss and thinning, changes in colour and texture to hair becoming dehydrated and difficult to handle. 

We visited his Covent Garden salon in London where we were treated to a treatment and a cut and style, we had just the best conversation with Paul, we took a trip down memory lane to when we were all hairdressing in the 80’s and 90’s and how hairdressing and hair care has changed, through to busting hair myths and discussing how you can care for your hair and get your locks healthy again. 

We have an exclusive Windle Lab product discount code for you to use: WOMENKIND10.

So, grab a cuppa and listen to Paul’s wonderful words of hair wisdom.

We continue with our Book Collective book for the series, How To Kill A Witch. A Guide For The Patriarchy. By Claire Mitchell and Zoe Venditozzi, we read chapters 3 & 4, where we learn about the horrors of the torture that was endured by those suspected of witchcraft. You can join in with our Book Club, send us a DM or voice note with your thoughts on the book.

This week on Spill the tea with Womenkind Collective we’re diving deep into the conversations that matter and we wanted to talk about internalised misogyny and why so many women judge another woman, is this a deep patriarchal conditioning to keep women divided? Who better to help us unpack this emotive topic than the fabulous Lauren Currie OBE.

Lauren is an incredible keynote speaker, and for seven years, she served as the chairperson of Pregnant Then Screwed. She is the founder of UPFRONT, a ground-breaking organisation on a mission to transform confidence, visibility, and power for 10 million women. Thousands of women across 50+ countries have already graduated from her flagship programme, The UPFRONT Bond, proving that this is more than a movement—it’s a revolution.

Her impact has not gone unnoticed—she’s been recognised as a woman changing the world by Elle Magazine and named one of Management Today’s top businesswomen under 35. In 2017, Lauren was awarded an OBE for her services to design and diversity.

Together we explore:

1) What internalised misogyny really is- and how to recognise it

2) How judgment of women by other women is driven by social conditioning and invisible 'rules'

3) The role of media in reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes

4) How to unlearn internalised bias and rewire confidence

5) The personal moment Lauren realised she had internalised misogyny- and what changed after that

6) The story behind make-up free moments, with celebrities like Pamela Anderson, and how they still provoke judgment

and more!

Our Book Club gets under way and we discuss the first 2 chapters of our book for this series, How To Kill A Witch. A guide For The Patriarchy, by Claire Mitchell & Zoe Venditozzi, and already we are hooked!

There’s some weekly inspiration to give you some good news stories that you might have missed, and there’s a beautiful quote to send you off for the week with.

It’s an episode brimming with chat and all the usual shenanigans! So, go and get the kettle on and settle in for our weekly collective chat while we spill the tea with Lauren Currie!

Welcome to our new series of Spill The Tea with Womenkind Collective! 

This week is our Book Club special and our book for series 13 is a huge part of feminine history, How To Kill A Witch. A Guide For The Patriarchy, by Claire Mitchell & Zoe Venditozzi. 

The book is a powerful, poignant and razor sharp read, that has already sparked important questions around the witch trials and the murder of countless (mostly) women. Claire and Zoe discuss why this book needed to be written and together these two amazing women are restoring forgotten voices and fighting for justice that is centuries overdue.

There is a growing interest and solidarity around the history of the witch trials, not just as something from the past, but as a symbol of sisterhood, resistance, and the ongoing fight against systems that still try to silence and control women. And this book doesn’t just tell the story—it demands that we listen.

In the first part of this interview (we had to do 2 parts because there is just so much to talk about with these fantastic women!) we talk about the Witches of Scotland tartan, a beautiful symbol of defiance woven into a traditional Scottish tartan, how these two met and what drove them to write this book. Part two will be available later in the series.

If you want to read along, we will be reading from the introduction up to chapter 3. 

There’s some weekly inspiration to give you some good news stories that you might have missed, and there’s a beautiful quote to send you off for the week with.

It’s an episode brimming with chat and all the usual sweary shenanigans! So, go and get the kettle on and settle in for our weekly collective chat while we spill the tea!
