AUT Associate Professor Dr Ella Henry, (Ngātikahu ki Whangaroa, Ngāti Kuri, Te Rārawa) regales me with tales of skiing in bikini tops, getting expelled from High School, oh and menopause. A life of travel, promotion of Maori excellence and fuc*ing the patriarchy. Prepare to hear one or two cackles as she discusses her one hot flash, throwing period parties for her daughters, and inserting the word vagina as much as possible into the official records of the Waitangi Tribunal.

Pharmaceutical Anna Sophia
Once she finally realised she was in the grip of menopause, cake addled Anna Sophia didn't take it lying down. Mainly because she had to go to the toilet six times a night. After listening to UK menopause guru Lousie Newson's podcasts, she approached her doctors with a shopping list. But it wasn't that easy and she had to fight to get the remedies to get her joy back. We chat Catholics, vasectomies and squirting a cream where the sun don't shine.

Marvellous Michele A'Court
All round funny feminist Michele A'Court chats fibroids, cysts and the sisterhood. Raised with frank conversations and laughter around the kitchen table, Michele was determined to pass the same knowledge onto her daughter, even if her daughter didn't want to hear it. We talk about her bothersome uterus, her first feminist fracas at the age of 4 and just what is locked away in her fleshy vault. Warning: Contains improvised singing.
