Dr Louise Newson sits down this week with Shelly Horton, an Australian journalist, broadcaster and passionate advocate for menopause awareness.

Shelly recently released her debut book, I’m Your Peri Godmother: A happily-ever-after guide to kicking perimenopause in the ovaries, reflecting just how many women are desperate for relatable, honest guidance through perimenopause.

In this warm conversation, Shelly opens up about her own personal experience after initially being misdiagnosed, struggling with anxiety, brain fog, heavy bleeding and exhaustion – all whilst trying to maintain a cheerful public persona on live TV.

She also shares how receiving the right support inspired her to write a book to help other women feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Shelly and Dr Louise discuss the importance of education, open conversation, and compassionate healthcare and why no woman should suffer in silence or alone.

An inspiring episode for anyone navigating hormonal changes or supporting someone who is.
