“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 »

“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.”

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 »

“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.”

Hoping at some point maybe the combination of neuro diversity ( ADHD , ASD etc ) perimenopause and menopause can be touched on 🤞❤️”
