Speaker 1: You'll see a peripaus mepausal women damaging a lot of property.
Speaker 2: Michelle the Witch of moons Lane and Moira Major.
Speaker 3: How to witch bitch.
Speaker 1: Michelle the Witch of Moonslane How to witch bach? Happy
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: Happy Valentine's Day to you two.
Speaker 1: Now today is Valentine's Day, of course. Now is there
Speaker 1: any kind of witchy history when it comes to Valentine's Day?
Speaker 3: And I know there'd be lots of people doing love
Speaker 3: spells today as well. I'm definitely haning that energy.
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely.
Speaker 1: Look.
Speaker 2: Just Happy Valentine's to everybody out there.
Speaker 4: But Valentine himself was actually a priest oh goodness, okay, ah,
Speaker 4: and he was secretly marrying people against Claudius the Second,
Speaker 4: who was an emperor at the time. He was marrying
Speaker 4: them in secret, but this actual emperor thought that he
Speaker 4: would preferred men not to be married so that they
Speaker 4: would make better soldiers.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so band to be married?
Speaker 3: Oh wow? Yeah, and he was doing it in secret. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And he also had a lover who he used to
Speaker 2: sign off your Valentine Ah where you get from? Get
Speaker 2: it from? Yeah?
Speaker 4: But it was basically a Roman Roman tradition, tradition of
Speaker 4: Rome and Roman, and then he also was a Christian
Speaker 4: at the time, so therefore he became a priest. But yeah,
Speaker 4: so that's I guess a bit of a crossover from
Speaker 4: pagan Very nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very nice, very nice.
Speaker 1: All right, Because it's Valentine's Day, we thought we'd talk
Speaker 1: about perimenopause.
Speaker 2: And why you put your Valentine off.
Speaker 1: Why I'm too hot at night to even be near
Speaker 1: my Valentine. No, we actually have had a lot of
Speaker 1: comments from people about perimenopause, which I'm so glad people
Speaker 1: are talking about.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Shelley Haughton's got a fantastic book out about it. There's
Speaker 1: a number of different podcasts about perimenopause, and it's for
Speaker 1: women who don't understand what's going on with their bodies
Speaker 1: as they ate, which now it's always different for everybody,
Speaker 1: and if you are experienced symptoms, you know there are
Speaker 1: obviously ways in which you can talk to your doctor
Speaker 1: and everything else about it. Going through it myself at
Speaker 1: the moment, where are you.
Speaker 3: At, I've started, you started? Yes, good times for all
Speaker 3: of us.
Speaker 1: But it is actually quite an amazing thing that more
Speaker 1: women are talking about and therefore I think as well,
Speaker 1: it helps us understand our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, everyone.
Speaker 4: Else when they suddenly turned bitchy and twitchy and then
Speaker 4: they didn't actually speak about it, so no one spoke
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 1: And a number of different people I know as well, obviously,
Speaker 1: the group of girls that I went through school with,
Speaker 1: a lot of friends that I have as well, all
Speaker 1: experiencing it differently. So we are going to talk about
Speaker 1: it today because it's come up a number of different
Speaker 1: times with the women that listen to the podcast or
Speaker 1: even the friends that we have as well. So how
Speaker 1: a little bit of witchcraft can actually help anything, can
Speaker 1: help you through this time period because it's just a
Speaker 1: bit bizarre. Obviously, once again back to the fact, Michelle
Speaker 1: is not a doctor. She has no degrees whatsoever other
Speaker 1: than being a legend and which so yeah, so what
Speaker 1: have we got for us with perimenopause?
Speaker 4: Okay, so with perimenopause it really is a news cycle.
Speaker 2: So we go from maiden mother to chrome.
Speaker 4: So we're not crones yet but no, but we are
Speaker 4: wise women, so we're coming into the wise So rather
Speaker 4: than thinking.
Speaker 2: You know, and my body is letting me down. It's
Speaker 2: actually not.
Speaker 4: It's preparing us for the fact that we've now got
Speaker 4: all this wisdom and we're still young enough to be
Speaker 4: able to do the things that we love. So I mean,
Speaker 4: of course we have the hot flushes and we have
Speaker 4: things like that, but I feel like it's really an
Speaker 4: empowering time for us as well.
Speaker 2: But guess what.
Speaker 4: There is one herb that you can do as a
Speaker 4: tenture to help you, and it's sage, is it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow?
Speaker 4: So sage is really good for moodiness. It's great for
Speaker 4: hot flushes, so with that, and it's actually good for
Speaker 4: the libido.
Speaker 2: So you can take sage.
Speaker 4: So you buy the fresh stuf, you pop it into
Speaker 4: half water, you can put half vinegar, or you can
Speaker 4: actually put some alcohol with it, okay, and leave it
Speaker 4: overnight and then take the sage out and give it
Speaker 4: a shot in the morning. And that actually really does
Speaker 4: regulate and help you. Okay, Mother's nature. There absolutely's a
Speaker 4: funny we used sage to protect ourselves, but sage is
Speaker 4: actually the herd that can really help us regulate our
Speaker 4: body to burn.
Speaker 3: I guess anything can help. And the funk off spray
Speaker 3: is really good.
Speaker 2: Get away from me Spraceprayce And.
Speaker 4: I definitely think with the alcohol. I just think maybe
Speaker 4: it's the shot of alcohol you feel good for the
Speaker 4: Coactage is definitely good, joking Sage is really good.
Speaker 2: You can look it up.
Speaker 4: It's brilliant for moodiness and to regulate the body. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because that's what we feel like. We feel like we're
Speaker 4: on a bit of a rollercoaster, don't we.
Speaker 3: Something as well.
Speaker 1: I mean we've talked about meditation before as well. That's
Speaker 1: something that's really important. Listening to your body and also
Speaker 1: stopping the needy talk because I think due to the
Speaker 1: fact that your body is going through so much. You know,
Speaker 1: you've got your irregular periods, you've got the hotplush, you've
Speaker 1: got everything going on. You instantly hate someone for absolutely
Speaker 1: no reason. Watching how you're actually talking to yourself, and
Speaker 1: that's one thing that with this podcast we've discussed, particularly
Speaker 1: with women, young girls as well men whoever. It's about
Speaker 1: watching that language that you're using on yourself and watching
Speaker 1: what you're putting out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that you can sort of see
Speaker 4: what menopause will do for your perimenopause will do to
Speaker 4: you when you actually look at how did you go
Speaker 4: through puberty, because a lot of people that had hard
Speaker 4: time through puberty with the hormones. Unfortunately, we know that
Speaker 4: this is what's going to happen. And I mean people
Speaker 4: can do it naturally, People can go and get help,
Speaker 4: you know, whatever, whatever it is, whatever works for you.
Speaker 4: But again it's a mindset. If you know that you're
Speaker 4: you know, really upset or moody, just take some time,
Speaker 4: have a even Cama malt is really good too. It
Speaker 4: just sort of irregulated regulates the body, and just come down,
Speaker 4: take more time to get ready, things like that, and
Speaker 4: be gentle and kind to yourself.
Speaker 2: Remember you're a wise woman now.
Speaker 4: And I feel if we put that accolade to it,
Speaker 4: it makes you feel a lot better about it.
Speaker 3: I don't like that. I do that a lot.
Speaker 1: And I think it's because the women who that it's
Speaker 1: affecting is they've probably had a family, their family is growing.
Speaker 1: This is the time maybe for them to stop and
Speaker 1: take care of themselves as well.
Speaker 2: We'll go and watch the film too, and where she
Speaker 2: goes to wander.
Speaker 3: Ah still Magnolias.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, it's is it fried green tomatoes?
Speaker 2: Fried green tomatoes? Yeah, So that's that's brilliant where she
Speaker 2: goes to.
Speaker 4: Wander and yeah, she's She's said, if you're going to
Speaker 4: watch that movie, which is absolutely fabulous, you'll see.
