Welcome to Hot Flashes
Hot Flashes, the menopause monologues was written by Helena Jevons between Lockdown and 2024, when it was turned into a podcast. It now exists to educate, entertain and exorcise ignorance around menopause and help women find their voices and use writing to process their own journeys into perimenopause and beyond. We offer a unique blend of podcasts, live performances, and books that delve into the diverse experiences of menopause. Join us in breaking the taboo and embracing the unfiltered reality of this natural phase of life.
