EPISODE 11: F*ck, I’m Not Invisible! with Shelly Horton
------------------------------------
In this episode of F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!, I sit down with the unfiltered, fabulous force that is Shelly Horton - journalist, media entrepreneur, founder of Don’t Sweat It, and your official Peri Godmother 👑.
We go there: perimenopause, midlife invisibility, hot flushes in the boardroom, hormone chaos, libido slumps, crying in Woolies, and what happens when your doctor tells you “it’s just stress.” 🙄 Spoiler alert: it’s not.
----------------------
This conversation dives into:
🔥 WTF perimenopause moments (and why we need to laugh through them)
💪 How to reclaim power when the world tells you to quiet down
👩⚕️ The medical gaslighting too many women still face
📣 Why Shelly is DONE with silence and building a midlife rebellion
📚 The behind-the-scenes truth of writing I’m Your Peri Godmother
🪄 Her magic-wand wish for how the world treats women in their 40s and 50s
Shelly brings her trademark humour, rage, wisdom, and realness and reminds us that this isn’t the end of anything. Midlife is just the beginning.
Whether you’re knee-deep in brain fog, figuring out HRT, or just wondering if you’re losing your mind, this one’s for you. 🔥
