Supernova Heights to Menopause with Meg Matthews

Meg Mathews rose to prominence in the 1990s most notably as the wife of Noel Gallagher, inspiring one of Oasis' most beloved songs - Wonderwall. But Meg is of course much, much more than that though, a print designer, a mum, and now an author; she joins Clare to talk about her experience with menopause, her mission to remove shame and stigma that is so often associated with it and her new book 'The New Hot: Taking on the Menopause with Attitude and Style'. Plus, Clare is joined by Bressie to chat about how we can better manage our children's anger; and what is this new exercise craze, the Huku board? Clare speaks to Cathal Sheridan, founder and owner of Huku Balance to find out.
