It’s not just the menopause chats, it’s all the chats! There is so much wisdom, inspiration and goodness to be gleaned from every conversation. I find myself writing down notes and quotes as I go so I don’t forget anything. Personal faves are the chats with Paddy Gower, Sonia Gray and Dr Selina...Read full review »

Thank you Petra for both your podcasts. I wait eagerly for each one and really appreciate the wide range of people you chat to. It’s so very helpful as a 53 year old follower of Jesus to explore the second half of life with you Heaps of blessings Jo

Nothing beats two professionals discussing the meaning of life. The Paddy Gower esp. is a must listen.

Thanks heaps for talking about being childfree on this podcast with the Otherhood gals. It’s important to spread the message that you can have a wonderful fulfilling life without children. Not all of us can or will be mothers.

Love this show. It’s aimed at women “of a certain age “, but I think there is so much that’s helpful, insightful and interesting for all women. I laugh, I cry and I learn from every episode. And I love Petra’s voice.

Wonderful interview ! Relate fully as a 53 year old woman. I’m on HRT following a diagnosis of osteoporosis which came as a huge shock. Prior to this I’d broken a rib and a ligament in the foot. I had no idea about the oestrogen decline of menopause. I’d also suffered throughout life with...Read full review »

I have now listened to a couple of your episodes but felt compelled to review after listening to Charlotte Cook and you discussing our hairy bits!! I am older than both of you and so wish I had heard this when I was younger! Like a lot of things, the wisdom which comes with our aging, would have...Read full review »

Thank you for this series of interesting chats. When the notification comes up that “Grey Areas with Petra” has dropped a new podcast, the planning begins. AirPods and phone charged up - tick - walking shoes on and out the door. I love your insightful thoughts, gentle questioning and how you...Read full review »

These are wonderful ideas but Petra in her enthusiasm talks far too much. If she could only remember “it is not about me” and let her interviewees just tell their story. Such a shame as the idea behind these podcasts is a brilliant one.

Love having this on while chilling out or pottering round the house. Always has very interesting guests. Feels like cool casual chats. Every episode there’s something to learn. 👍

Loved this interview - the raw honesty and directness, is so refreshing.
JacquiB19 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 09/17/23
I’m loving the korero that Petra is having with Wahine in NZ. The topics are big, real and make you realise there’s loads of women and men with loads to share and for me to learn. Thank you!

I have stumbled upon your podcast and am finding the content meaningful and connecting. Which also includes your manner, spirit and use of Te Reo.

This podcast has been so informative and really speaks to me - my relationship with myself, my pelvic floor health, my parenting, my past and most importantly, opening my mind to forgiveness, self love and possibilities for the future.

A few tearful moments here. This podcast feels like chatting with friends in the very vast way and I recommend you listen now. Thanks for bringing some of these topics out into the light. Ka rawe!

Finally a voice in New Zealand that women can relate to! It’s been so long coming. Authentic, honest and downright funny, Petra and her guests are like a sit down and catch up with my girlfriends - fills up my cup and empowers me. Keep them coming!!

I love this! Thank you so much. It can feel like a lonely place to be.
lovesummerz via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 03/24/22
Thank you for a weekly feeling of a chat with woman about our lives at this stage ! Hoping at some point maybe the combination of neuro diversity ( ADHD , ASD etc ) perimenopause and menopause can be touched on 🤞❤️
