Hi, I’m Anna from 40s Woman & Beyond. I’m a Perimenopause Coach and PT and together with Genevieve Hallam, a friend and nutrition coach I love to work, talk and collaborate with women across companies and organisations. We were so lucky to persuade Margaret Cabourn-Smith, host of the extremely popular and very funny podcast “CrushedbyMCS” to co host this with us. We are all women in our perimenopausal years who have different experiences and areas of knowledge, and we wanted to start a conversation on why these can be crazy years, but why they can be great years too. We’d love you to join! If you'd like any info on 40s Woman and Beyond, our programme and our products, both company and individual, see www.40swomanandbeyond.co.uk

  • Saying less, the key questions to ask your children and when should you intervene? - A special with Cathy Walker
    Mar 25 2026

    Cathy Walker is a consultant, coach, and writer with 25 years in education, including 20 in the classroom. A parenting expert and regular contributor to The Sunday Times and The Telegraph, she works with schools, universities, parents, young people, and other individuals on holistic education, future-readiness, and career transitions.

    In this enlightening episode we discuss the tricky balance of supporting your kids without taking on their anxiety yourself. We talk about how to step back and say less instead of spiral, and what actually helps in the moment.

    Plus, we share a few simple but effective questions you can ask your children to deal with comparison - both in the home and at school.

    If you have children in your life - this is one not to be missed!

  • The Weight Loss Jab Conversation - featuring GLP-1 Expert Dr Kevin Fernando
    Feb 25 2026

    Weight loss injections (also known as GLP-1s) are fast become mainstream conversation.

    In todays podcast we talk with Dr Kevin Fernando, GP and Diabetes expert for the last 15 years. He now works with clients both in the NHS and from his clinic https://www.iyasuhealthcare.com/dr-kevin-fernando

    We discuss who these meds are for, the positives, the negatives, the importance of doing your research, and why working alongside a GP or nurse is essential. We also talk "beyond the jab" - why it's important to after yourself from a nutrition, movement and lifestyle perspective and how looking at what you want your life to look like in the next 30 years, rather than simply what you want to look like, can be so much more empowering.
