Mary Coustas was going through one of the hardest times of her life; when it clicked all of a sudden; she was going through menopause. That was when she realised that women weren't talking enough about the nuances of menopause. Mary hadn’t even spoken to one of her best friends, Naomi Watts about it, despite Naomi founding a business breaking down the stigma around menopause. So Mary decided to write a book, MaryPause, about her experience and to help other women navigate menopause. You're not going to want to miss this hilarious, heartfelt and honest chat.

Jess is joined by clinical psychosexual therapist Dr Margaret Redelman who doesn't hold back on her straight-forward advice on feeling sexy, keeping your sexuality alive, and communicating with your partner.
