Australia’s most recognisable fitness icon, author, and motivator Michelle Bridges joins Lucy & Kel for an open and powerful conversation about a topic too often left in the dark: perimenopause.

Michelle opens up about her own unexpected health struggles, the stigma and silence surrounding women’s health, and the deeply personal journey that inspired her brand new book, The Perimenopause Method. From sleepless nights and brain fog to navigating relationships during this life stage, Michelle and Lucy share raw, relatable stories that will resonate with women (and the men who love them).

It’s an episode packed with wisdom, honesty, and empowerment - breaking taboos, shifting the narrative from fear to knowledge, and proving that aging is about strength, vitality, and living well for decades to come.

If you’ve ever wondered “What’s happening to me?” or want to better understand the women in your life, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.

BOYS WITH DR JUSTIN COULSON: The Crisis Facing Young Men, Hotel Hot Takes & Franchise Fandoms

All-New Content Alert!

Lucy, Kel and Producer Casey are diving into the texts and calls that didn't make the show - and trust us, you'll want to stick around for those! First though, Lucy is surviving on no sleep and Casey cannot wrap his head around her dog parenting style.

PLUS, if you missed it on the show:

Keep It or Change It? - After a couple went viral for using family game results to pick their married last name, The Light family weighed in on what a surname really means to them. Lucy's answer was heartfelt, Kel's was laid-back, and listeners brought stories that were equal parts fascinating and surprisingly moving!

5 Year-old Meals! — Benny Blanco let slip that his wife eats like a five-year-old, and TheLight family had absolutely no criticism — just solidarity. The food confessions came flooding in, and honestly, Nutella on white bread is timeless! 

The Number Problem — Kel simply wanted to know everyone's favourite number for World Numeracy Day. What followed was not simple. At all. Lucy & Casey had more than one favourite number and listeners gave all of there reasons why their number is their favourite!

Hit play for leftover listener gold, the great surname debate, unapologetic meal confessions, and one man's quest for numerical simplicity!
