What does it really look like to move your body through every stage of life, when things aren’t neat, linear, or easy? In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Jasmin Paris MBE, record-breaking ultra-runner, mum of three, and the first woman to complete one of the toughest endurance races in the world. But this isn’t just about performance, it’s about reality.We talk about the messy middle of women’s health and exercise, from puberty to pregnancy and beyond, and the pressure to “get it right” when your body is constantly changing. Jasmin brings a rare kind of honesty, cutting through myths and expectations with lived experience that feels both grounding and quietly powerful.If you’ve ever questioned what movement should look like for you, this one might shift something.
When your period starts to take over your life, it’s easy to wonder if you’re just expected to put up with it. For so many, heavy bleeding is brushed off as “one of those things” but the reality can feel exhausting, isolating and quietly overwhelming.In this episode, we open up an honest conversation about what it really feels like when your cycle stops being manageable, and why so many are left questioning what’s normal. This isn’t about numbers or neat definitions, it’s about lived experience, frustration, and the quiet ways it can impact your day to day life.It matters because too many people are silently adjusting around something they’ve been told to tolerate. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unsure, or just fed up, this one is for you.Links:https://www.wearwhiteagain.co.uk/
What happens when one of the most respected voices in women’s health joins Between 2 Ovaries? A conversation we honestly could’ve recorded for hours. This week, we’re joined by Professor Joyce Harper, internationally renowned reproductive scientist, educator, author, podcaster and women’s health advocate. From embryology to education, social media to science, Joyce has become a trusted voice for so many women trying to navigate a world full of mixed messages, misinformation and confusion around their health. We talk about the growing role of social media in women’s health, why proper sex and menstrual health education in schools matters so much, and the impact of young people learning about their bodies through fear, stigma and misinformation instead of clear, honest conversations. If you’ve ever wondered who you can actually trust online, why women’s health education still feels so behind, or found yourself learning about your body from TikTok comments at 1am, this episode is going to hit home.
HIV is still one of those topics that can sit in the background of people’s minds shaped by fear, half-information and a lot of assumptions that just don’t reflect where things are today.In this episode we’re joined by the brilliant Dr Sarah Cavilla, Consultant in Genitourinary and HIV Medicine at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, working within the Axess clinic. She brings such calm, no-nonsense clarity to a subject that can feel heavy, and helps us strip things right back to what actually matters in real life, not just what people think they know.We talk about the stuff that often gets left unsaid or misunderstood when it comes to HIV, and what it really means in 2026 in terms of testing, treatment and living well. There’s honesty here, but also a lot of reassurance, and moments that gently challenge the stories we’ve all picked up along the way without even realising it.It’s one of those conversations that is so important to have, and just as important to hear.Links: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/advice-for-families/pants-underwear-rule/ https://www.axess.clinic/ https://sh24.org.uk/ https://www.hiv-druginteractions.org/checker https://i-base.info/guides/ https://www.iwantprepnow.co.uk/
Sex is one of those things we’re all kind of told should just “work” and be simple, but for a lot of people it really, really isn’t, and that gap between expectation and reality can leave you feeling confused, frustrated, or like you’re the only one who didn’t get the memo.In this episode we are joined by the incredible Dr Leila Frodsham, consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician and one of the leading voices in psychosexual medicine, to open up a conversation that is so often avoided or whispered about rather than properly understood. And honestly, she is exactly the kind of person you want in this space, warm, grounded, and brilliant at making the complicated feel a bit less intimidating.We talk about what it actually means when sex doesn’t feel straightforward, why so many people are left thinking it is just them, and how much of this is far more common than most of us realise.If you have ever thought “is this normal” or just wanted a bit more clarity without the awkwardness, this one is for you.Links:https://www.ipm.org.ukhttps://www.cosrt.org.uk
Everyone talks about “morning sickness” like it’s something you just get through, but what happens when it takes over your entire day, your body, and your headspace?In this episode, we get honest about severe pregnancy sickness and why it is so often minimised, misunderstood, or brushed off. We sit in that space between what people expect and what some actually experience, holding the physical and emotional weight of it and why being believed matters so much.This is a conversation that makes room for the messy, the heavy, and the very real side of it all. If you have ever questioned what is normal or felt like you were not being heard, you are not alone.Links: https://www.rcog.org.uk/news/updated-rcog-green-top-guideline-on-the-management-of-nausea-and-vomiting-in-pregnancy-and-hyperemesis-gravidarum-published/ https://pregnancysicknesssupport.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/hg-guidelines/

Menopause is often spoken about in hushed tones, framed as something to fear, fix, or simply endure. But for something that every woman will experience, the lack of clear, compassionate conversation has left many feeling confused, dismissed, or alone long before it even begins.In this episode, we're so excited to be joined by the wonderful Dr Paula Briggs, Consultant in Sexual and Reproductive Health at Liverpool Women’s Hospital and former Chair of the British Menopause Society. Her experience in clinical practice and research brings clarity and real-world perspective to a topic that’s too often shrouded in myth. We take a step back from the noise to talk honestly about what’s really happening, why it can feel so different from person to person, and how myths and misinformation have shaped the way menopause is understood. This is about reassurance over alarm, lived experience over labels, and understanding over shame. Not a checklist of symptoms or a one-size-fits-all answer, but space to breathe, reflect, and feel less isolated in the process.If you’ve ever wondered whether what you’re feeling makes sense, or wished menopause was explained with more humanity, this conversation is for you.Links:https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/menopause/ https://www.rcog.org.uk/for-the-public/browse-our-patient-information/menopause-diagnosis-and-management/
