| 31 Oct 2023 | Why There’s Life To Be Had After Midlife With Katie Isles | 00:28:57 | |
Today's guest on Unpause the Metapause is Katie Isles, who perfectly embodies the phrase ageing not fading. As an embracer of change, aged 40, Katie took a bold leap and transitioned her career in business and languages to become a model and presenter. She went on to grace TV ads and brochures, working with some of the biggest names in the business, such as Jaguar, Land Rover, TUI and Boots.
As a result of the pandemic, Katie changed gears and began to nurture her flourishing Instagram community. For her, transparency is crucial and she bravely showcases both the highs of success and the raw realities of life. She fearlessly addresses topics that others might shy away from, aiming to alleviate women's sense of solitude.
Today, we talk with Katie about how she supports and empowers women navigating midlife, how she strives to alter perceptions about ageing and encourages individuals to embrace their true selves fearlessly.

| 15 Nov 2022 | [Trailer] Confidence and Success Throughout Menopause and Beyond! | 00:01:18 | |
If you’re following the news, it won’t have escaped your notice that there is a mass HRT-shortage crisis going on. With over-promised & under-delivered mentions of HRT becoming available without a new HRT Tsar…
UK ministers have a lot to sort out as so many women are getting their hormone replacement therapy by “other means.” A couple of shocking statistics taken from a Guardian article in August reveal that:
“14m working days a year are being lost to the UK economy as a result of menopausal symptoms. One in four women who experience the symptoms – many at the top of their career – consider leaving their job.”
Women are desperate, literally driving around several pharmacies - it’s frankly outrageous. This leads us to introduce two very strong advocates for women when it comes to supporting their health as well as standing up for our rights to the healthcare we need and the support from both government and employers.
Claire Hattrick - menopause advocate, single mother of twin girls & author of the book “Menopause Help” & Debs Wallbank - aka “The Menopause Confidence Coach,” who has appeared on ITV’s This Morning, is a mentor and is helping women gain confidence & thrive through midlife & beyond!

| 10 Jan 2023 | Pushing Boundaries: Mountain Mummy & Olympian Skier Chemmy Alcott | 00:33:04 | |
An inspirational mum of two, wife and BBC Ski Sunday Presenter…and, wait for it, 4x Olympian skier used to hurtling herself down mountains at 92mph. Regarded as Britain’s greatest ever female skier, Chemmy Alcott put her stake in the ground by becoming the first British Alpine Ski racer to win a world cup run.
I wouldn’t know where to begin with her accomplishments…her incredible skiing achievements are just the tip of the iceberg! Raising well over £800,000 for charity, she’s done the World’s Toughest Ski Race in Greenland, the 100-mile road race in London and climbed Mt Kilimanjaro.
24 hours of paddling down the Amazon River, anyone? My guest today certainly knows how to push beyond her limits. After being offered her dream job as she was ready to birth her first child, she had what to most would be an IMPOSSIBLE decision to make.
Having broken 49 bones in her life, she meets adversity head on and rises to the challenge, no matter what life throws her way. Aside from her BBC presenting, Chemmy is an inspirational speaker, runs her own business with her husband, 25-time British Champion Dougie Crawford, also a ski coach.
Her two boys, Locki 5 and Cooper 3, are central to her life, but we’ll explore why maintaining identity is so incredibly important to her.
I’m really excited and honoured to talk with her today…

Here’s a fact I bet you didn’t know…women make up nearly half of the UK’s workforce. More shocking is that according to Wellbeing of Women, over 900,000 have quit their jobs because of the menopause.
One aim of the Menopause Workplace Pledge is to tackle this outrageous issue head-on. Boundaries are being broken left, right and centre - not supporting womens’ needs and ignoring the new way in which “work-life balance” has gotten confused and blurred.
My guest today is having a huge impact on the corporate sector when it comes to wellbeing at work. Highly experienced in the world of Management Consulting, Arti Kashyap-Aynsley has travelled the globe over, giving her insight into the impact of our working lives on our overall wellbeing.

| 09 May 2023 | Menopause At Work: Boost Self-Confidence And Become Fearless | 00:31:53 | |
The average age of menopause might be younger than you think? There’s an alarming reason why 1 in 10 menopausal women are leaving their jobs…meaning hundreds of UK organisations are losing incredible talent each year. It’s not because women are simply seeking higher salaries (though that’s a discussion for another time), greater challenges, or a change of environment and leadership…
It’s because of an embarrassing lack of knowledge and understanding about menopause symptoms on the employer. Employers, not only aren’t supporting women during menopause, they’re not even talking about it. So when the opportunity came up to sit down with today’s guest to discuss the elephant in the room at work, I saw this as an opportunity to educate us all!
Lauren Chiren describes herself as a no-nonsense speaker, trainer and health and business coach who helps people achieve their desires, goals and dreams…while helping businesses maintain the bottom line by retaining their top talent.
An inspirational woman and former Senior Executive in Financial Services, she’s an experienced global keynote speaker, podcast host, CEO and founder of Women of Certain Stage - including several other accomplishments to her name.
Lauren sits with me today to discuss how her own menopause in the corporate environment, led her to completely reinvent her approach to creating others' success!
TOPICS: How it all started/began How workplaces are failing with early menopause support Organisations are LOSING talented people to menopause age (lack of understanding) Building self-confidence, self-esteem, and tackling fears Menopause & mental health (including depression/suicide) Menopause at work & women’s empowerment Keynote speaking experience

“Menopause is the last wellbeing taboo”.
Those are the words of today’s guest, Sharon MacArthur, founder of Miss Menopause, and workplace educator for womens’ health & wellbeing at work.
Sharon explains how only an embarrassingly tiny percentage of companies are REALLY giving menopause wellbeing support any prmoper attention. Many UK companies mistakenly believe they are, but they aren’t.
We touch upon everything from how we can do more to educate our companies’ staff to become aware of this health issue (ALL women face in their lives) and other unspoken implications when coming of menopause age…like mental health. | |||
