It's Got Pockets

The Shovel Sisters – A Survival Guide for Hormonal Carnage

Sarah Knight Season 1 Episode 22

Ever fantasised about checking yourself into a silent retreat (aka jail) just for a bit of peace and bloody quiet?

Welcome to The Shovel Sisters episode – a love letter to every woman who’s ever had to educate someone (a partner, a colleague, a child... the bloody dog) on the absolute hormonal rollercoaster that is perimenopause, menopause and everything in between.

This one’s for the women holding up the sky while sweating through their bra, questioning their sanity and still being asked what’s for tea. Again. Because it never ends.

In this solo episode, I’m talking about:

🔥 The emotional and physical plot twists of midlife (spoiler: there’s no manual)
🔥 The moment my husband asked “How long does menopause last?” (he lived, but only just)
🔥 Why we need a secret society of rage-and-resilience-fuelled women called The Shovel Sisters (or maybe not because jail)
🔥 The wild duality of wanting to build empires one minute and cry into your toast the next
🔥 And why you're not losing the plot – you're leading a bloody revolution (in your body and your life)

There’s a reason this podcast is called It’s Got Pockets – because we carry a hell of a lot. And sometimes we need a circle, a sisterhood, a safe space to scream, swear, sob or simply sit.

So if you’re in your “don’t f*cking test me” era… you’re not alone.

This one’s equal parts sweary survival guide and midlife manifesto.

And just in case you need the reminder:
 You are not mad.
 You are not behind.
 You are becoming.
 And if you ever need a shovel… you know where I am.
