About Wot The Fog _ Two friends. One midlife journey. A thousand challenges. A million laughs

Two friends. One midlife journey. A thousand challenges. A million laughs. Come and join the conversation. We're two friends with many shared challenges and experiences, but by far the biggest experience has been, and still is, midlife and menopause. Boy have we been on a journey with it. From perimenopause to full on meno, we've been together all the way sharing, supporting, encouraging and having each other's backs. Even holding each other when we've had our 'wall slider' moments (you'll hear more about this don't worry). We've found things along the way that have worked for us, physically and emotionally but the things that really are getting us through are each other, our friendship and laughs. No matter what happens, we have plenty of laughs. We want to share our experiences with you in the hope that you'll realise you're not alone, that you'll discover some things that might help you through this crazy but freeing phase of your life, and we hope you'll share with us too because we've still got plenty to learn and far to go. We’ll have regular features ... •Lost and Found (or Lost & Never Found) •Fog Moments •Symptoms, Shares and Top Tips •Play Time - Just for Fun including Activities, Music, Makeup, Fashion etc. Along the way, we’ll also be inviting some lovely special guests to join us to share their expertise and experiences. Above all, we hope you'll feel a part of our little community, safe enough to share and that you'll laugh along with us. Enjoy listening.

   Ep 25. Keeping it Real...even when you're down the well

   Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets, Well, the fog is real at the moment. We couldn’t even remember what episode number this was! We're here though and ready to share our experiences, support and of course, our fog moments. We never come to the podcast session with any notes, or even any idea what we're going to talk to you about but somehow, it always all comes together and the conversation flows. Maybe it's some kind of magic, or it could be that for 10-20 minutes before we hit record, we have a little pre show joint therapy session. It releases any tension we've brought with us, lifts any black clouds and seems to open up the chatty channels. We CANNOT overstate the importance of sharing and talking! That's why we share openly, honestly and rawly (is that a word?) with you lovelies because we're all about keeping it real. We also always like to bring you something positive or give you sonemthing that'll make you giggle because that's important too. The world, espeically social media, can have us thinking that everything is either all adventure and glamour or all doom and gloom.  We're always here to remind you that life isn't like that. It's not black and white, it's all colours and shades. So, this episode we're mainly talking: • Connection • The responsibility sandwich of midlife. • Making sure we don't go it alone...and trust. • Being down the well and knowing who will hook you out. • Fear of the future and planning for it emotionally. • Making time for things that feed your cup. ALSO, our REGULAR TOPICS... • Books we're reading • Music we love • Prioritising our physical and mental health • And of course....our Fog Moments Thanks for listening to our little chunnerings. As always, we'd love you to join in by letting us know what you think and sharing your experiences and PLEEEEASE let all your friends, colleagues, family know about us so we can keep our little project going and growing. Until next time lovely ones, you know it...."Stay sane. Don't lose it." We've got you!

   Ep 24. If It's Not on The List, It's Not Coming In! New attitudes and more FUN.

   Hi lovely Foggers and Fogglets, Welcome to our first episode of 2024. Firstly, how was your 2023? If you're anything like us and so many people we speak to, it was a bloomin' doozy. It really did feel like being on a rollercoaster powered by white water rapids at times. It left both of us feeling emotionally churned, battered and bruised. BUT, we've decided that that energy (or lack of) is so 2023 and it has to stay there. If any of that 2023 shizzle is still hanging around like a bad smell, seeping into your 2024, tell it it's not on the list and turn it away!! Let's be determined to make 2024 a stronger, more determined, more positive year. Are you with us? So, this episode, we're talking all things energy really. From the 7, yep that's right there are 7, signs of fatigue, to the energy we create ourselves from our thinking and attitudes and how we can make sure the bad vibes don't get in and threaten to stay. As usual, our unscripted guided chat goes far and wide and is always raw and honest. Other things we're chatting about this episode are: • Walking our talk - do we practice what we preach? • Connection and community - staying healthy is so much about sharing & talking. • Are you over Podcasts? As we feel swamped by the 000's of high budget podcasts, do we carry on? • Getting creative - we all have some creative ability and it can be such a great distraction and mindul thing to explore. ALSO, our REGULAR CHATS ABOUT... • Books we're reading • TV  we're watching •  Movies we love • And of course....our Fog Moments Thanks for listening to our little chunnerings. As always, we'd love you to join in by letting us know what you think and sharing your experiences and PLEEEEASE let all your friends, colleagues, family know about us so we can keep our little project going and growing. Until next time lovely ones, you know it...."Stay sane. Don't lose it." We've got you!

   Ep 23. ‘On the Couch’ talking Poonami’s, Buckaroo and Not Compromising

   Well phew lovely Foggers and Fogglets, what a bloomin’ year this has been! We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling bounced around, whiplashed, dizzy and facing backwards as 2023 races to a close. How’s it been for you? In this 23 for 23 – Episode 23 and the last of 2023, we reflecting on what’s challenged us, what’s really important, what we’re letting go of and what we’re committing to…sort of…as much as we can, because that’s another lesson from this crazy year, not to put too much pressure on ourselves. Why do we do that?! Above all though, we’re feeling massively grateful for so much and for so many people, not least YOU, our gorgeous community who have listened to our ramblings, supported and encouraged us. We honestly love you for sticking around despite our consistent inconsistency, and we’re making a commitment to you to make sure we record our chats every month. You’ve been warned haha! So, this episode, our ‘never any notes’ chat includes: ·       Importance of community and talking things out. ·       Feeling like a ‘Buckaroo’. In a classic fog moment,  we just couldn’t remember the name of this game while we were talking but typically, as soon as the mic went off, it came through. ·       Gratitude – Norwegian style ·       Never being ‘too busy’ for people you value and love. ·       Making an effort doesn’t mean BIG effort ·       A little less conversation, a little more action please – get ‘doing’. ·       Not subscribing to expensive remedy sales. The best remedy is our TTT method – talk, time (for yourself), and trying your best. ·       Not compromising night compromises your health and well being. Thanks for listening to our little chunnerings. As always, we'd love you to join in by letting us know what you think and sharing your experiences. Until next time lovely ones, you know it...."Stay sane. Don't lose it." We've got you!
