Oh hello you… pull a pew! Welcome to your NEW favourite podcast, Fannying Around with Katy & Rosy.
Katy a menopause nurse, women’s health specialist and hormone encyclopaedia. Rosy seasoned broadcaster, (chive since you asked) business owner and proud vagina owner. Each week we’ll be fannying around with a different guest and unraveling a hefty heap of hormone related tales, tangled under the headphones.
We talk sex, rage, brain fog, reinvention, grief, confidence, divorce, identity and generally feeling like shite.
More doom and gloom than va va voom? Lay-deh..you’re not alone!
Fran is 60 and in her own words 'sailed through' menopause (yeah, one of those lucky bastards) but before you press skip, hang on, whoa there missus.... Life hasn't always been that peachy for our Fran. At 21, she was told she could end up in a wheelchair after being diagnosed with reactive arthritis. Instead of accepting that as her future, she began asking questions and learning to truly listen to her body. In this episode of Fannying Around, now 60 and smashing it, Fran shares the life-c...

Season 1 Wrap! The Fanny Files
So for this final episode of Season One, we're opening the case files. The Fanny Files. We're looking back at the biggest themes that kept cropping up again and again. Why so many women struggle to access good information. Why we're all so bloody tired. Why so many of us ignore our bodies until they start shouting. Why women still have to fight to be heard. And how menopause somehow became a marketing opportunity for every supplement company on the planet. Most importantly, we're asking what ...

Episode 6- Fannying Around with Jodie
Jodie is 41, works in a secondary school with teenagers… and is tired. Not just end-of-the-week tired. Not just “I need an early night” tired. The kind of tired that’s been quietly building for years. After heavy periods from her teens, 20 years on the pill, a difficult experience with the copper coil, and managing an underactive thyroid, Jodie has always just got on with it. Because that’s what we do, isn’t it? But recently something shifted. The overwhelm felt bigger. The anxiety crept ...

Michael is an American author now living in Alicante, who left the US during the first Trump administration with her young daughter, built a new life in Spain, and is now figuring out empty nest life while writing books in the mountains surrounded by dogs, which, if we’re honest, sounds pretty bloody perfect. But before that came years of awful periods, relentless bleeding, a brutal struggle to get proper healthcare in the US, and eventually a hysterectomy that felt less like a choice and mor...

Rachel was the woman who didn’t have time for menopause. International marketing director, travelling the world, running a side hustle, and somehow still finding time to compete in ballroom dancing. Life was busy, exciting and very full. So when the early signs of menopause crept in, Rachel did what many high-achieving women do — she powered through it.

Episode 1- Fannying Around with Taz
Our very first episode! This week we’re fannying around with Taz, whose story doesn’t begin with menopause… it begins with puberty. From the very start, Taz felt like something wasn’t quite right.
