10. Bathing in a Vat of HRT

This week Laura Smyth and Michelle de Swarte ask whether we can ever really reach Nirvana or if peace will always be disrupted by a snoring bloke manspreading in the seat next to you.Michelle has been meeting some of her female heroes, is livid about being born too late for the rave scene, and has decided to avoid menopause by bathing in a vat of HRT.Laura’s been making besties on holiday, tells us about her new favourite ways to recharge the batteries and explains how our bodies are gaslighting us.Producer: Sasha Bobak Exec Producer: Pete Strauss Production Co-Ordinator: Katie Baum Editor: Joshan Chana A BBC Studios Production for Radio 4
