Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep within a mystical forest, there lived a magical cat. This cat, named Whiskers, had jet-black fur with eyes that shone like the brightest stars in the sky. Whiskers had an air of mystery, and the villagers spoke of its mystical powers. Legend had it that Whiskers possessed the ability to grant wishes, but only to those who were pure of heart. The village was full of hopeful individuals who sought out Whiskers for a chance at having their dreams come true. They would leave offerings of fish and milk for Whiskers, hoping that their wishes would be granted.
Woman after woman phoned into the programme, and in the end I had to pull over so I could listen properly. I was, to say the least, shocked. Was the menopause really still such a taboo subject? Were people not able to talk freely about it at work, with their partners and children, with their friends?
Also by my forties I felt I finally had a certain dancing relationship with my career, a reasonable sense of self and a handle on my health and fitness. Migraines hit, my digestion could be toppled over one bread roll, my immunity seemed to labour under a system that was more stressed than I had stress with which to justify it.
They would leave offerings of fish and milk for Whiskers, hoping that their wishes would be granted. One day, a young girl named Lily came across Whiskers while she was playing in the forest. Intrigued by the stories she had heard, Lily decided to test the cat's supposed magical abilities.
