Steph & Laura

Hi!! What are we oversharing today?

Well… we dive into the wide world of burner accounts and rogue internet activity, revealing some of our biggest internet secrets before we turn the tables and unpack yours! Then, we dissect the viral dating non-negotiables list and reveal our own… Laura isn’t stoked to find out she isn’t Steph’s perfect man.

Dr Fatima Khan is a women’s health doctor. She has trained in psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, and general practice and has an Advanced Certificate in Menopause Care. Fatima is the author of the new “Hormone Health is Mental Health: How perimenopause hijacks your brain — and how to reclaim yourself”.
We loved this title and the concept that hormone health is mental health so we wanted to have Fatima on the podcast to talk about it!
In this episode we speak about the menstrual cycle and what is happening to our hormones at each stage of the cycle, the characteristics of estrogen & progesterone, PMDD, and the importance of small daily practices to support our nervous systems.

We’re opening the mailbox and answering your dilemmas!
QUESTION #1: My parents won’t stop making comments about if & when I break up with my partner. They seem to prefer my sister’s boyfriend even though my partner & I have been together longer. It’s making my partner anxious. How do I talk to my parents about this and set boundaries?
QUESTION #2: My best friend is keeping big life events a secret from me. She’s bought houses and sold houses and bought a new car and hasn’t told me until it’s all completely finalised. Am I overreacting? Do I feel entitled to her news when I shouldn’t be?
