MatChat with Mina Blair
Need a regular wellbeing boost? Then this podcast is for you! We know looking after our physical and mental health is more important now than ever, and talking openly about what concerns or worries us goes a long way to lighten the load. Hearing other people's stories gives us perspective and reassurance. So, every month I invite a guest onto the "yogamat" to discuss what they have learned on their wellbeing journeys. The intention is to leave you feeling uplifted and empowered.

Embracing the ever-changing female body (especially during menopause!) with Becky Potts
It feels like we at times fear or fight change in principle, that we'd prefer things stayed the same. And yet change is all around and within us constantly without our control! Take the female body. From the moment of birth, it's an ongoing growth that shifts into monthly cycles, pausing only for the 9 month wonder of pregnancy if and when that occurs, before it gears down into peri- and finally menopause. It's quite the journey to navigate, but how supportive of ourselves are we on the ride?
I ask Becky Potts, Women's Health Physiotherapist, Pilates instructor and Co-Founder of Perfect Motion Physio, whether women do enough to look after themselves over a lifetime of flux. Is our attitude one of acceptance or resistance? Are we talking openly and loudly enough about the issues, about the (often unspoken) shame around having periods and the menopause? Are we helping each other? Join us as we explore these questions, having laughs along the way!
