If midlife has left you questioning your health, your confidence, or where you stand, this conversation will resonate. Saira Khan first came to public attention as the outspoken finalist from the first series of The Apprentice, before becoming a familiar voice on ITV’s Loose Women. In her 40s, she launched SairaSkin, her own ethical, organic vegan skincare brand shaped by heritage and lived experience. Today she's urging women to find their voice in healthcare—especially around perimenopause, menopause and HRT—without needing to be aggressive. *.

In this episode, Beverley Knight shares why taking control is the key to thriving in midlife. From menopause and health, to being born to perform, and rewriting the narrative around overlooked icons like Sister Rosetta Tharpe - this is a conversation about speaking up, getting informed, and creating your own path—on your terms.[*Always advocate for yourself and seek proper doctor advice]
