This week on In Her Season, we introduce a new format with our very first Round Table episode.
A round table conversation is a shared discussion where clinical insight and lived experience come together. Rather than a traditional interview, this format allows questions to be explored collaboratively, with evidence-based knowledge offered in a way that is accessible, grounded, and connected to real experiences of women’s bodies.
For this episode, we are joined by Dr Lucy Haymes for an open conversation about periods, menstrual cycles, and hormones.
Together, we explore the rhythms of the female body, hormonal changes across different life stages, and how cycles can influence energy, mood, fertility, and overall wellbeing. We unpack experiences many women share, yet are rarely given the space or language to fully understand.
This conversation is educational without being overwhelming, grounded without being clinical, and affirming of the complexity of women’s health. It is not about fixing, optimising, or pathologising the body — but about learning, understanding, and reconnecting.
Whether you are navigating your own cycle, supporting your hormonal health, or seeking clear insight explained in a human way, this episode offers clarity, validation, and reassurance.
