Welcome back to Hot Flashes: Menopause Monologues, a podcast about the menopause which features two dramatised monologues each week and the writer's inspiration behind each one. "Mirror Mirror" is a realisation that the cliches of Hollywood may have some basis not just in fairy tales but in a real life physical change; evil stepmothers might not be evil - perhaps they're just too hot, irritated and lacking sleep? "Memory Lane is Closed for Repairs" charts a day in the life of brain fog and a head full of so many things that they fall out indiscriminately. Nothing major. But enough annoyances and embarrassments to realise that maybe it's time to pick that HRT prescription.   "Mirror, Mirror" is performed by Louisa Gummer and "Memory Lane is Closed for Repairs" is performed by Gayanne Potter. The Menopause Monologues are written by Helena Jevons. For more about the books, events and the podcast, visit hotflashes.info Music from Artlist. Hot Flashes is produced by me, Helen Quigley, and is a Soundliness production.
