    Feel good
    I love listening to these two and their guests. Full of advice and laughs. Makes you feel normal and that you’re not the only one going through the trials and tribulations of midlife!

    Not for me
    There seems to be an assumption here that all midlife women have had amazing careers, like these two, and the concomitant respect and wealth. We haven’t. Some of us have been undervalued and underpaid our whole lives. I’d like to hear a podcast covering that reality for most women

    This really hit home!!
    A Must Listen! I am a big proponent of natural healing and as a functional health coach support women struggling with migraine pain and symptoms that often come during menopause. Your podcast, The Power of Positivity Everyday with Gaby Rosli, really hit home with what I teach my clients through my Migraine Freedom Protocol™ ….talking about how mindset and being positive plays a huge role in how we feel each day.

    Uplifting and fun!
    The highlight of my Monday is a new episode from these 2! Always interesting guests talking about issues that are very relevant to this midlife woman, and I also love listening to Trish and Lorraine bantering away, really cheers me up!

    HRT is not an option for all!!
    I would love to see a podcast focused on the challenges of mid life / menopause that doesn’t just talk about HRT! As a woman with a blood clot disorder, HRT, estrogen, bio-identical hormones—none of those are an option for me. Doctors have not been any help because even “natural” treatments and supplements can mimic estrogen in the body and form blood clots. There are also women with cancer history whom this is not an option for. Maybe think about this as you develop future shows—you’re leaving a whole subsection of menopausal women out the conversation and we are suffering with no answers.

    Not your typical listener?
    While I may have little in common with Lorraine and Trish, I very much enjoy their conversations and interviews. I feel like I very often learn a little something new or gain a new perspective on a topic. Thanks for your show!

    Love love love this podcast. Trish and Lorraine have brought so many midlife issues and taboos out into the open and shone a light for us all. Their guests are always interesting, inciteful and relevant and I love the nostalgia noodling and jibber jabber. They have a wonderful friendship and comforting presence on air and it’s like having a couple of friends sitting at my kitchen island having coffee.

    A life saver
    This podcast has been a godsend. Trish, Lorraine, and their guests provide critical and hard-to-come-by information about peri menopause and menopause to empower women to get the medical care they need and deserve. The podcast is also fun and inspiring. I look forward to it every week.

    Like having 2 best friends around the kitchen table!
    Absolute god send during the pandemic, totally agree like hanging out with old friends! Living abroad and feeling cut off in the height of covid last year, this podcast brightened my week and made me feel connected to the motherland. Informative, funny and comforting all rolled into one, tell your favourite people, I've told all mine! When I look back on those covid years, Postcards from mid life will be something I remember !

    It’s like hanging out with friends
    Trish and Lorraine are such great company - their friendship shines through and being a Brit living in the USA , I appreciate their sense of humor and how they tease each other, as well as the cultural references to things I remember from my 1970/80s childhood. The guests are great and cover a range of topics relevant to women in midlife. I especially appreciate the discussion and tips around parenting teens as a mom with 2 teens. Highly recommend this podcast. Great fun while being informative.
  • SarahHealx
    Highly recommended!
    Inspiring podcast - funny, relatable & informative with fabulous guests & a wonderful community of women supporting women.
  • ElizabethSuisse
    Essential listening for all women 40+
    This is an absolute treasure trove of information for all women who are approaching or have reached midlife. It is full of well-researched facts, knowledgable experts and is presented with empathy and humour. Trish and Lorraine are not afraid to share their own midlife experiences and do so with great openness and honesty. I feel fully equipped to head into my own peri menopause and menopause, safe in the knowledge I will be able to visit my own doctor armed with all the facts and information I need, as and when I need to.

    Thank you for the joy and laughter you have brought to my walks. People must think im crazy, because you two constantly crack me up, and laugh out loud, sometime have to stop laugh so hard. Im a mom, wife, doctor, persian, and can so relate to your stories. You are a breath of fresh air. “Brilliant” with my best British accent i can muster. Thank you.

    You’re not on the radio
    Team, your voices and insights and experiences are required reading and listening for the adult in the modern world. The podcast is not the place to simply extend that truth. It is the place to sacrifice the saccharine and use the sugar. It is the place where you use the butter and cream and do some real cooking. In other words, it is the place you tell the truth that no one once to hear. You are new. You are nascent. It is exciting that you’ve started this journey and I’m a big fan. What do I want though? Not 100 of what you’ve done so far. Maybe 30. For example. If you are going to talk about sex, then do not rush the conversation. Slow it down and sacrifice anything else mentioned in the edit. Same thing with every topic. 900 mentions and 1 topic do not a podcast make. 1 in depth topic with an important lesson (like the climax of the story) is what is missing. I’ll never stop listening. I will keep feeding back though.
