About this listen

'The menopause is a weird one, as a woman you know that the likelihood of it happening to you is pretty inevitable, but no-one really tells you what to expect.'

So says Jenny Eclair, who, with her trademark humour, will share her experience of what can be a difficult time for many women, from the emotional side of life - missing the woman you were, the empty nest, mood swings - to the health aspects of the menopause, starring the hot flush and also periods (lack of), weight problems, insomnia and other issues.

Upbeat and honest, Jenny shares her new-found hobbies, the joy of pets and how to make the best of the different but still-fabulous you.

How great to find out that I'm not the only invisible 60 year old out there and that it's normal to go up a dress size and need a catnap in the afternoon. Jenny put aging in a different context and has turned everything I felt previously upside down. Sieze the day. Cheers Jenny

Comforting, honest, comprehensive, and wise - and all with Jenny’s great humour 😂. A must-read for menopausal women and those that live with them.

Thanks Jenny

Made me laugh and I also recognised myself in much of this story, yet learned some helpful stuff along the way. What a thoroughly likeable narrator

Funny and enlightening

Loved this book, especially as Jenny Eclair was narrating it! So easy to listen to with some proper laugh out loud bits - highly recommend. Also, it’s always nice to know you are not alone with all the delights the menopause brings 😉

Very entertaining!

Found myself laughing like a crazy person out on my dog walk, so ready to listen to this as my menopause journey began last year and HRT is in my mind a devine intervention.
Thanks Jenny

I laughed out loud throughout.It was like having a chin wag with an old chum. So many references that I recognised, as I am sure will any other women of a certain age who listens. Word of warning, don’t listen on speaker to the letter V, especially if like me you are in the garden. Don’t think my next door neighbour appreciated Jenny’s candour ,as much as I did. Will definitely recommend to my friends, who have all had very different experiences of getting older and wider!

Very amusing. Had me sporadically laughing out loud and occasionally saying out loud Y E S!, EXACTLY! Jenny Eclair narrating her own book is perfect! Very enjoyable insight, personal experience and tips and observations. Excellent listen

Have recommended this to all my friends of a certain age
