Welcome to Womenkind Collective: Spill The Tea, the podcast where no topic is off-limits, and every conversation is served with honesty, humour, and heart.
Hosted by lifelong friends Jinty and Lou, we bring you a vibrant, weekly mix of education, laughter, and real talk. From health and hormones to family, relationships, equity, and the realities of menopause, we tackle the topics that matter—especially the ones society often shies away from.
Menopause might not be our sole focus, but it’s a conversation that keeps coming up—for good reason. With the help of expert guests, including Menopause specialists, GPs, Gynaecologists, Nutritionists, Sleep Therapists, Cancer Survivors, Advocates, and Campaigners, we provide evidence-based facts, real-life experiences, and the support you deserve.
Beyond the podcast, we take action. We founded Exmouth’s first Menopause Café, giving women a space to connect, and launched the #WheresMyClinic campaign, fighting for an NHS Menopause Clinic in Devon. We’ve even spilled the tea live on BBC Radio Devon, hosting their first-ever menopause café.
So, whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of hormones, curious about the latest health insights, or just here for the relatable stories (and occasional faux pas), grab a cuppa and join us.
It’s time to spill the tea—because the conversations we have today can change the way we live tomorrow.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this Menopause Month episode of Spill The Tea, we’re joined by the remarkable Dr Juliet Balfour — GP, menopause specialist, and advocate for improving women’s health across the UK.
With over three decades of NHS experience, Juliet has played a pivotal role in shaping menopause care, from leading the Somerset NHS Menopause Service to advising the British Menopause Society.
Together, we explore everything you need to know about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) — from foundational facts to the latest guidance:
• What HRT is and how it supports the body
• Who benefits most, and when to start
• The differences between oral and transdermal HRT
• Understanding risk, safety, and long-term effects
• How to access HRT through the NHS or privately
• Monitoring, side effects, and real-world experiences
This episode offers clarity, evidence, and practical insight — helping you make informed choices about your health and wellbeing.
Stick around for a beautiful quote to carry you through the week.
