We’re live at Big Festoon in October 2025, taking you behind the scenes of one of the most unconventional business events around.

This episode goes inside Big Festoon with Jane, founder of Menopausal Not Mad, breaking down menopause, HRT, and how to advocate for yourself with confidence.

Inside this conversation

Recorded live at Big Festoon, this interview features Jane just after her first-ever stage talk, sharing honest, practical insight into menopause, perimenopause, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Jane explains what most people aren’t told, including how to recognise early symptoms, why fear around HRT persists, and how to take control of conversations with medical professionals.

This is a calm, grounded discussion designed to replace confusion with clarity.

About Menopause Not Mad

Jane founded Menopause Not Mad to bridge the gap between “what is happening to me?” and “I understand my options.”
