    Episode 229 - I Asked. You Answered. The Next Chapter Begins
    2026/08/05

    After four years of hosting this podcast, I kept thinking about the show's future. I wondered if I should make changes to the format, the episodes, my guests, and I worried if the podcast was still what you guys needed and wanted.

    Initially, I did a lot of overthinking - but then I knew I just needed to ask YOU.

    So over the past few weeks, I invited you to share your thoughts about the podcast: what you love, what you'd like more of, and whether you thought anything should change.

    Your responses made me laugh, made me cry, and reminded me why I pressed record on that very first episode four years ago.

    In this special solo episode, I'm sharing what you told me, the feedback that surprised me the most, and why your words have shaped the next chapter of this podcast.

    This isn't about reinventing something that isn't broken. It's about listening, reflecting, and making sure the next person navigating menopause after cancer can find the support they need.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Why I decided to ask for your honest feedback after four years.
    • The survey responses that genuinely surprised me.
    • The conversations you want us to have more of.
    • Why expert interviews and survivor stories aren't going anywhere.
    • The importance of asking the questions that others often avoid.
    • What your feedback taught me about this community.
    • A hint about an exciting announcement coming next week…

  • Episode 228 - 53 Kilometres, A Sex Toy & Lots of Laughter

    Episode 228 - 53 Kilometres, A Sex Toy & Lots of Laughter
    2026/07/29

    This week's episode is a little different.

    A few weeks ago, a group of us took on a 53km challenge across the Peak District to raise money for Menopause and Cancer. Somewhere between the hills, the aching feet, the snack stops and plenty of laughter, I had this feeling that I wanted to ‘bottle up’ some of the conversations and the energy we had - to bring it to you.

    So, instead of an expert interview, I thought I'd invite you to come along for the post-walk chat with us.

    You'll hear honest conversations, a few giggles, reflections on why community matters so much after cancer...and yes, the story of why I ended up feeling rather guilty about keeping hold of one of the prizes that had been donated for our walkers. Let's just say...it involved a rather unexpected gift from our lovely Dr Angela Wright!

    This episode is a reminder that healing doesn't only happen in clinic rooms. Sometimes it happens when you're walking alongside people who simply understand.

    Whether you've been listening for four weeks or four years, thank you for being part of this community.

    And if today's episode leaves you wishing you were there with us, why not join our London Bridges Challenge on 12 September? We'd absolutely love to welcome you. Or perhaps you'll even be tempted by the whispers of an even bigger challenge next year…? You can also take on a challenge anywhere in the world too!

    Who's in? 😉

    And one more thing...

    This is the final episode before a special two-part series where I'll be sharing the next chapter of the podcast. Don't worry: the conversations you know and love aren't going anywhere, but I can't wait to share what's been quietly unfolding behind the scenes.

    Episode Highlights:

    00:00 Intro

    06:37 Reflecting on the race challenge

    07:34 Struggling during the race

    14:29 Walking challenge with friends

    18:52 Completing a charity walkathon

    22:30 Discussing resilience and support

    27:35 Discussing the “Lemon”

    32:22 Building a supportive community

  • Episode 227 - The Messy Middle: Restarting HRT and Feeling Invisible

    Episode 227 - The Messy Middle: Restarting HRT and Feeling Invisible
    2026/07/22
    Within just a year of being diagnosed with breast cancer, lawyer mum and so-called ‘midlife-hipster’ George made the deeply personal decision to restart HRT.This episode isn't about advocating for or against HRT after breast cancer, and it certainly isn't about telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do. Instead, it's about understanding one woman's journey and exploring the thoughts, emotions and experiences that shaped her decision.This conversation also goes far beyond HRT. George speaks beautifully about something I know many women will recognise: feeling invisible in midlife. Long before she made the decision to restart HRT, she had already begun finding ways to reconnect with herself. We talk about "Sparkly Fridays", bright lipstick, embracing colour, finding moments of joy and slowly rediscovering her confidence. It's a wonderful reminder that getting your mojo back isn't always about one big decision; sometimes it's the many little things that help you feel like yourself again.When I first spoke to George, she was right in the messy middle. She had restarted HRT but, for the first time, found herself feeling anxious about that decision. I know so many people in our community are asking similar questions, often without straightforward answers.My hope is that today's conversation helps us take some of the emotion out of these discussions and instead become a little more curious about one another. We don't all have to make the same decisions, but we can learn so much by listening without judgement.In this episode, we discuss:George's decision to restart HRT after breast cancerLiving with uncertainty and navigating deeply personal decisionsAnxiety, confidence and trusting yourselfFeeling invisible in midlife"Sparkly Fridays" and finding joy in the everydayWhy there is no one-size-fits-all approach to menopause after cancerThe importance of listening to one another's stories without judgementEpisode Timestamps:00:00 Introduction04:53 Building an online community10:58 Early breast cancer diagnosis story14:10 Discussing HRT decision after cancer19:19 Anxiety about cancer recurrence20:34 Discussing menopause and shared decisions26:10 Discussing hormones and health choices29:38 Reflecting on past struggles34:41 Considering future HRT plans37:40 Heart and bone health after cancer42:14 Coping with difficult decisionsNext week, you'll hear from another breast cancer survivor whose story is completely different. HRT isn't something she would personally consider, and that's exactly why I wanted to share these conversations side by side. Every experience is unique, and by hearing a range of perspectives, my hope is that we can all feel a little more informed, a little more understood, and a little less alone.Enjoy!Follow George here: https://www.instagram.com/awomancalledgeorge/Dani’s links:Join my NEW blog ‘Still Becoming’ on Substack: https://substack.com/@danibinnington?r=1osz6a&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageBuy my book ‘Navigating Menopause After Cancer’: https://amzn.eu/d/07dUoYBbJoin the 12th September Thames Bridges Trek: https://fundraiseformenopauseandcancer.raiselysite.com/thamesbridgestrekultrachallengeSet up your own fundraiser: https://fundraiseformenopauseandcancer.raiselysite.com/fundraisingideasConnect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub Mentioned in this episode:Fundraiser Walk: https://fundraiseformenopauseandcancer.raiselysite.com/thamesbridgestrekultrachallengeSubstack: https://danibinnington.substack.com/
