What's that?

... being a, a woman, is that, um, is that w- because of all of the things that we go through, um, puberty, periods, perimenopause, menopause, um, coping with matrescence, coping with, um, not being able to have children anymore, cop- It's a lot.

... misinformation, isn't it?

Yes.

And the other thing I want to say is that sometimes women talk about not having babies, um, to protect their bodies and their pu- I just also want to say I do understand, and especially in today's climate politically and everything, sometimes it feels unsafe.

You know, you think, "What am I bringing a baby into?" And I really, really understand that, that there is a fear around what is happening in the world and where, where is the world going.

For me, putting Ancient & Brave's Wild Collagen into my daily cup of tea is just a small act of care that helps to support my system

systemAnd has become part of my morning ritual.

What I love is that it's not one of those quick fixes, it's something that nourishes your body from within.

It's sustainably sourced from MSC-certified wild-caught fish, and it's backed by science to support whole body health, which really matters to me.

But what sets Ancient & Brave apart isn't just their award-winning products, it's their commitment to sustainability.

They're a B Corp and proud members of 1% for the Planet, meaning that 1% of all their sales go directly to environmental causes that protect our planet.

So I'm basically on a clubber of the 80s, right, late 80s.

But, I mean, I don't know, if I stay up till like 2 or 3 in the morning, it takes me a week to recover.

But I still love raving, and music is a mood-altering drug.

and it makes me so happy and i love coffee so i heard about these morning raves that were happening and i thought i want a piece of that and i thought for my audience beginning again for us we're all like ravers of the 80s you know how fun to come together and then go to work none of us knew what to do with ourselves we all finished at 8 30. and i was like well you know where's the afters like what are we going on What can I do now? I was so buzzing.

I was thinking, God, if I had a proper office to go into, I had to go and shoot content at the studio for Begin Again afterwards.

Tell me about some of the guests that you've absolutely loved or maybe that have surprised you.

So tell us a bit about that MTV, and then tell us, like, how can people adopt that principle to start making things happen in their lives?

Well, first off, there is a saying that I use, and I think it definitely applies to entrepreneurs and business, and that is a yes...

I mean, a no is a yes that hasn't happened yet.

So, uh, basically a no to me, like if you just say, I'll go, "Can I do, do this?" And they go, "No." And I go, "Okay, well, yeah, you'll, you'll, you'll change your mind, 'cause I know this is gonna happen.

So I'll just, I'll just regroup, and I'll come back to you and it'll be a yes.

Don't worry.

I kn- I know what to do." So I've, I've had that- Kind of belief that, oh, you don't really mean that.

In this episode, Davina joins us to share her personal journey, and we share ZOE research that shows how diet can be a powerful tool for reducing menopause symptoms.

Well, I think the first symptom that I had that really hit me was a night sweat, and I would've been about 43 years old.

I was on a job in Prague, and I was staying the night in a hotel, and I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was drenched.

My hair was wet.

It wasn't like just you're a little bit hot in bed and you think, "Oh, I must throw the blankets off." It was bottom sheet soaked right through.

Had to go and get a towel.

Duvet soaked right through.

I don't want to think about it.
