Hi everyone , today I would like to take a moment to thank you all so very much for joining me on this wild and wonderful ride , and I'm going to leave you with a list of my top recommendations for some early new year listening . Because Dear Menopause is going to take a two week break .
I'll be back with a fresh and exciting new episode for you all on Friday , the 17th of January . It's been a full year for myself and everyone in this corner of women's health in Australia , so I'm going to take a couple of weeks to spend at the beach .
I'm going to read a lot of books , I'm going to do some swimming and , as always , I'll be doing a little bit of scheming as well .
However , I will let you in on a secret now , and that is that in mid-January , I will be announcing a new exciting partnership with a woman and team who I have huge admiration and respect for , and this will be a first for Australia and it will be a game changer for everyone impacted by menopause and cancer .
So stay tuned on my Instagram account and I'll release more details about that in January . Coming very , very soon , 2025 , we'll see the fortnightly hot take episodes that I've been co-hosting , with Jo Wick's Return , and I literally can't tell you how super excited I am about those . Okay , so let's get into that list of recommended episodes that I mentioned .
So I selected these specific episodes for a few reasons . They have all been hugely popular with listeners since they were published across different seasons , and I also feel that they fit really well with what is likely to be everyone's mindset in January .
I find this is a time when many are planning how they want to feel in 2025 and what changes they might be looking to make to achieve that . So , with that in mind , here are my top four new year listening recommendations Episode number 94 , creating Healthy Habits with Dr Kelly Teagle . Episode number 88 , beyond Booze with Sarah Rusbach .
Episode number 64 , a Guide to Supplements for Women in Medlife with nutritionist Ange Clark , and episode number 49 , menopause and Mental Health with Jayashri Kulkarni . These are all great episodes , jam-packed with information , actionable takeaways and truly brilliant , generous experts who share their superpowers to help you make change .
Enjoy listening and please do share this episode with friends and family that might also be looking for some New Year midlife inspiration . To those of you celebrating Christmas , I hope your holiday is filled with joy , love and laughter , and maybe a little too much Christmas cake For those who don't celebrate Christmas .
I wish you a happy holiday season and hope you find moments of peace , warmth and connection with those who matter most . I truly believe that this time of year is about so much more than just gifts and decorations . It's a season of giving , gratitude and reflection .
