| 0:00.0 | This special episode is brought to you in partnership with Cult Beauty and was recorded live during |
| 0:08.5 | Menopause Awareness Month. Welcome all of you to this very special evening and thanks |
| 0:15.0 | to Cult Beauty and all the team for hosting this recording. It's a live recording of a special |
| 0:21.3 | episode of postcards from mid-life and obviously it's particularly special because this is |
| 0:25.7 | World Menopause Awareness Month. I'm Trish Halpin, I'm the co-host of postcards from mid-life, |
| 0:31.6 | alongside Lorraine Kandoo, who I'm sure you all know, at the end there. Like Lorraine, I'm a former |
| 0:37.2 | Closty magazine editor, I edited Mary Claire, Red, In-Style and Lorraine of course Sunday Time |
| 0:43.1 | Style, Elle Cosmo before that. So we launched the podcast when we were both going through very |
| 0:50.3 | difficult Harry Menopause experiences ourselves. We did not know what on earth was going on with |

| 1:17.9 | we've interviewed, I would say practically every expert on Harry Menopause, on women's health in |
| 1:24.3 | the UK and of course lots of incredibly wonderful, high profile women who have been remarkable in |
| 1:30.5 | opening up about their personal stories and actually making themselves quite vulnerable I |
| 1:34.6 | would say on the show as well at certain points about their Menopause experiences. But it's so |
| 1:40.6 | great to have you all here today because this is the Menopause Revolution and we're all Menopause |
| 1:47.4 | warriors, we're all Menopause warriors here today and joining us on the panel to discuss how we |
| 1:54.5 | can support each other, we're going to be talking about how we support each other at work, |
| 1:58.2 | Carolian is going to be talking about government, how we make changes in parliament, how we get society |
| 2:03.6 | talking differently about Menopause and making concrete positive changes and creating communities |
