This World Menopause Day, The Man Hug welcomes two inspiring guests from Wirral Menopause Community CIC, Kate Barker and Jane Mellon, for an honest, informative and practical conversation about menopause, mental health, and the important role men can play in supporting the women in their lives.

Too often, menopause is misunderstood, leaving women feeling isolated and unsupported. In this special episode, Kate and Jane share their knowledge and lived experience, helping men better understand the realities of perimenopause and menopause, recognise the impact it can have on wellbeing, relationships and mental health, and develop the confidence to offer meaningful support.

We discuss why menopause matters to everyone, not just women, how men can improve their understanding and awareness, provide practical ways to support partners, family members, friends and colleagues. We also discuss the importance of listening, empathy and open conversations, signposting to reliable information, support networks and local services and how we can turn awareness into action and create more supportive communities

Whether you're a husband, partner, son, brother, friend, colleague or simply want to be a better ally, this episode offers valuable insights and practical takeaways that can help make a real difference.
