MENOMORPHOSIS
MENOMORPHOSIS is the go-to podcast for midlife women who are ready to stop feeling like a stranger in their own body — and start feeling calm, energised, and back in charge.
If you're navigating peri/menopause or the messy middle of midlife, you’ll find grounded support, science-backed tools, and compassionate conversations to help you feel more like yourself again — only wiser.
Hosted by Breath & Wellness Coach Polly Warren, each episode blends real-life insight with nervous system know-how to help you navigate hormones, emotions, energy, and identity with more ease — and a lot less pressure.
So take a deep breath. And when you’re ready…
Let the beautiful Menomorphosis begin.

#19 Making a Positive Difference through Menopause with Michelle Smith & Loretta Dignam
This week I talk to two inspiring women, Michele Smith and Loretta Dignam, who were brought together through their own negative experiences of peri/menopause and who both have a super positive vision for the future.
Both women felt completely unprepared for their own menopause and were determined to stop this happening for others. They want to shatter the stigma around menopause and improve menopause care for all.
So from two different continents, The Stride by Side Virtual Global Walk was born to help women get better information, education and research around menopause.
Loretta and Michele's enthusiasm and dedication to this work is a fine example of how our generation of women are not prepared to accept the taboo of menopause any longer and are coming together not only to improve the lives of menopausal women today but also for future generations!
In this conversation, you'll discover:
- What is Stride by Side and how it came about
- Why they chose 50,000 steps
- Why walking is particularly good for us during midlife
- How testosterone can be the missing piece for some women
- Where the money raised is going and why
- How you can get involved
The Stride by Side walk is taking place throughout October. To register go to: https://www.charityfootprints.com/StrideBySide/eventdetails
The money raised will be going to:
