For more than twenty-five years, Grace Lam lived and breathed the rarefied air of high fashion as a Vogue editor. Everything was going according to plan for the talented, organised, focused Grace until hormones entirely upended her tidy world.

In this episode that from our sister podcast MID, Holly Wainwright and Grace Lam talk about what happened when they each started experience perimenopause. Grace has become a loud and important voice for women being messed with by their hormones. She’s just appeared before the Western Australian Senate Public Hearing on issues related to peri/menopause, presenting the practical changes we need our medical and government institutions to make to catch up with what we need.

Grace is sharp and funny and honest and no bullshit. OH, and she’s sweary.

Grace is also generous - and has opened up her Instagram Rolodex with some links to follow for more information and inspiration about perimenopause & menopause. As always - please do your own research, but this could be a good place to start.

You can follow Grace here. and listen to Unleashed here
