"Free Dive" - Lena is a professional free diver, but age and perimenopause have impacted her fitness and ability to do the sport she loves. But one thing that will never change is her love of the ocean.
Woe betide anyone who encounters Bethan in her shop on a bad day... In "We've Got Biscuits" she relates the challenges of its running becoming much harder work than it used to be - and don't you dare move the custard creams.
Hot Flashes: Menopause Monologues features two dramatised monologues each week and the writer's inspiration behind each one.
"Free Dive" is performed by Amy Rockson and "We've Got Biscuits" is performed by Julie-Ann Dean.
The Menopause Monologues are written by Helena Jevons. For more about the books (available now), events and the podcast, visit hotflashes.info
