In this episode of Owning Your Menopause, I sit down with the remarkable Tamzin Outhwaite—an acclaimed actress and the founder of the charity We Free Women. Tamsin takes us on an incredible journey, sharing her experiences from her early days in amateur dramatics to her remarkable success on stage, TV, and film.

We explore how her career has evolved and how the landscape of women’s roles in acting is changing, particularly as they age and navigate the transformative phase of menopause.

Tamzin opens up about the pressures female actors face around appearance and age, and how the industry is slowly but surely changing. She shares her own experiences with perimenopause, how the pandemic sparked a journey of self-discovery, and why community and support are essential during this phase.

Tamzin's perspective is a powerful reminder that self-care, shedding societal expectations and finding strength in solidarity allows us to uplift one another and transform menopause into a time of rediscovery and renewed purpose.
