Welcome to Steph & Laura!

Dr Fatima Khan is a women’s health doctor. She has trained in psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, and general practice and has an Advanced Certificate in Menopause Care. Fatima is the author of the new “Hormone Health is Mental Health: How perimenopause hijacks your brain — and how to reclaim yourself”.
 We loved this title and the concept that hormone health is mental health so we wanted to have Fatima on the podcast to talk about it! 
 In this episode we speak about the menstrual cycle and what is happening to our hormones at each stage of the cycle, the characteristics of estrogen & progesterone, PMDD, and the importance of small daily practices to support our nervous systems.

Reflecting on the last 4 years of the podcast 💜

We’re opening the mailbox and answering your dilemmas!
 QUESTION #1: My parents won’t stop making comments about if & when I break up with my partner. They seem to prefer my sister’s boyfriend even though my partner & I have been together longer. It’s making my partner anxious. How do I talk to my parents about this and set boundaries? 
 QUESTION #2: My best friend is keeping big life events a secret from me. She’s bought houses and sold houses and bought a new car and hasn’t told me until it’s all completely finalised.  Am I overreacting? Do I feel entitled to her news when I shouldn’t be?

WWYD: my parents like my sister’s partner more than mine

This week we kick things off with a lesson in Australian culture and Laura learns that the national anthem and the iconic Qantas ads are two different songs!
 Then we answer your DM about comparison when it comes to running.
 Finally - do your emojis make you look old!? The New York Times seems to think so, so we compare our emojis and find out if we’re using millennial emojis.

We will never agree on this ONE thing

Cait Miers is a surf, fashion & lifestyle photographer, and the creator of Laugh Lines: a global portrait movement to take 1,000 makeup-free portraits of women around the world. Through Laugh Lines, Cait is on a mission to challenge beauty standards, reclaim self-worth and dismantle the idea that beauty needs fixing.
 In this episode, we speak with Cait about why she started Laugh Lines, how women have reacted to seeing photos of themselves makeup-free, the BTS of starting a business, and a reminder that we are all so much more than the way we look!
