Woman, Unravelled
Woman, Unravelled is the short, sometimes sweary, no-bullsh*t podcast for women who feel like they’re holding everything together - but inside, it’s all coming undone.
Hosted by Michelle Haslam, a single mum and midlife truth-teller, each episode dives into the messy, magical, often maddening reality of being a woman over 40.
Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, stuck in a relationship, going through a divorce, juggling parenting, co-parenting, or wondering if it’s too late to start over - we’re talking about it here.
Expect blunt takes, honest stories, and episodes that never go over 30 minutes. Because, let’s be honest - none of us have the brain capacity for more.

Belly rolls almost stopped me making a podcast
I almost didn’t record this first episode because I couldn’t stop obsessing over how I looked on camera - belly rolls, bad angles, bad lighting, the lot. But here’s the thing: if I wait until I look “perfect,” I’ll never do it.
So in this episode, I’m diving straight in with:
- Why I started this podcast and who it’s really for
- How life after 40 knocked me sideways — perimenopause, separation, grief, therapy, and finding myself again
- The honest truth about single parenting, running a business, and managing burnout
- The shift from people-pleasing to finally putting myself first
- What you can expect from future episodes (spoiler: no sugar-coating, no filters)
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself, like you’re doing life on hard mode, or like you’re too self-conscious to start the thing you really want to do - you’re not alone. Press play, because we’re going there.
Please excuse the bad audio and lighting - we are NOT perfectionists. Right?
