Joanna Page: Gavin and Stacey, Menopause and Motherhood

Sobre este episodio

<p>Calm, capable, always coping… Joanna Page has spent a lifetime holding it all together.</p><p>The Gavin &amp; Stacey star sits down with us to find out whether years of saying “yes”, being nice, raising four children and running on empty have kept her young… or quietly taken a toll.</p><p>She chats how raising children, traumatic births and 12 years of breastfeeding led to sugar addiction, sleep deprivation and NEVER putting herself first. And we unpack the reality behind being the “nice one”, the pressure of being everything to everyone, and the moment she finally said no.</p><p>Now at 48, she opens up about navigating menopause, her experience with HRT, and how it’s forced her to finally start prioritising her own health.</p><p>But after decades of resilience… what does her body actually reveal? And is it too late to undo the damage that’s done?</p><p><br><br>Follow us over at @whatsmyageagain_pod - or email us at <a href="mailto:whatsmyageagainpod@bauermedia.co.uk">whatsmyageagainpod@bauermedia.co.uk</a><br><br>Senior Podcast Producer - Molly Carter<br><br>Senior Video Producer - Elena Cotton<br><br>Camera Operator - Alex Thompson<br><br>Social Media Producer - Adeola Oladeji<br><br>Production Assistant - Emily Spungin<br><br>Production Manager - Sarah Nicholls<br><br>Graphic Designer - Ben Watkins<br><br><br>Executive Producer - Finn Ryan<br><br>Head of Production - Cat Moran<br><br>Chief Creative Officer - Lucie Cave<br> #whatsmyageagain #podcast #katherineryan <br><br>-<br>New episodes every Tuesday.<br><br>Follow us on social:<br>www.instagram.com/whatsmyageagain_pod<br>www.tiktok.com/@whatsmyageagain_pod<br><br>If you want to try the Glycanage test for yourself, they are offering 25% off for WMAA listeners with the code WHATSMYAGEAGAIN25.
