In Episode 13 of On the Mones, Kate shares a recording from a special event held with women from a women's shelter.

The day began with breathwork and mindfulness overlooking the ocean, a moment to pause, breathe and arrive. For some of the women attending, simply leaving the shelter and coming to the event took enormous courage.

Kate then spoke about hormones, perimenopause and what is actually happening in women's bodies during midlife. From estrogen, progesterone and testosterone to sleep, stress and strength training, this conversation explores the biology behind the changes many women experience and why understanding our bodies can be genuinely empowering.

This episode begins with a short guided breathing exercise recorded by the water before moving into part of the talk.

Along the way, Kate reflects on the power of knowledge, community and the reminder that sometimes there is less separating our lives than we realise.

If you have ever cried at an email, an advertisement, or a rescue dog choosing its human on Instagram, this episode is for you.

Whether you are in perimenopause, approaching menopause, or simply trying to understand your hormones, I've got you.
