POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Today is World Menopause Day. Though we have a long way to go in rewriting women’s healthcare, yesterday’s event with @preventionaus was proof the conversation is finally where it belongs - loud, expert-led, and impossible to ignore. 💪🏼

Our co-founder @mary_coustas spoke about the gap that is costing Australian businesses more than $10 billion every year in lost productivity and turnover. And costs women something harder to put a number on: careers, confidence, and years of their working lives lost to symptoms that were entirely treatable. (Macquarie University)

We exist so that any woman, in any postcode, can access ongoing perimenopause and menopause care. From AHPRA-registered doctors who are experts in peri+menopause.

No waitlists. No dismissal. No “just push through it.”

HOW UNPAUSE CARE WORKS:
 👉🏼A 45-min initial consult (Medicare rebate of $128.35 available for eligible patients) 👉🏼 A personalised treatment plan built around your life 👉🏼 Ongoing care through the UnPause Posse - $49/month for clinical follow-ups, our symptom tracking app, expert webinars and prescription management.

Cheaper than your Friday night bottle of wine. Considerably better for your sleep.

Nurses, midwives and teachers, you may be eligible for a rebate through your health fund. Visit the link in our bio to check your eligibility.

Today, we were honoured to be part of Prevention Australia’s World Menopause Day - a room full of brilliant women having the conversations midlife health has always deserved.

Our co-founder @mary_coustas joined an extraordinary panel alongside @doctorginni, @drsarahmckay, @_amelia_phillips and Dr Georgia Rigas - hosted by the incredible @zoejanemeunier.

This is exactly why UnPause exists. And we’re just getting started.

@preventionaus - thank you for having us!!

Mary Coustas knows a thing or two about making people laugh. But did you know teachers helped shape her story too?

After her own peri+menopause experience, Mary founded UnPause to help women feel more informed and supported through this stage of life.

This Menopause Awareness Month, let’s take a leaf out of Mary’s book and get talking about menopause. Because it’s a conversation worth having. by @mary_coustas

It’s Menopause Awareness Month, and we’re making noise. Our co-founder Mary Coustas sat down with the brilliant Patrina Jones on Rage Against the Menopause, and it’s every bit as honest, funny and fired-up as you’d hope.

They get into the stuff no one warned us about: being dismissed, fighting for answers, and why midlife women deserve so much better than “it’s just your age.”

Put it on for the school run, the commute or the dreaded 3am wake up. However you listen, then share it with a woman who needs to hear it.

From way back in Acropolis Now days I’ve been known for saying “Has anyone seen my cousin Jim?”.

The answer is - YES I’ve seen him recently, pleased to say he’s still alive, he’s still funny, and yes he’s still got a monobrow. 🐛

No offence to Jim, but enough about him.. have you seen my new stage show Frigid To Feral yet? 🔥

The hair has been teased, the sequins have been steamed, and Dr Shane has been told to stay home and do the paperwork.

Don’t miss it legends, this Saturday @clubcentralhurstville. Good thanks. 👠

🎟️ Frigid to Feral, this Saturday 📍 Club Central Hurstville 🕢 Sat 17 Oct, 8:30pm 💋 Second last Sydney show of the year

Thirty-seven years on, I still can’t believe my little bold boofhead Effie is still going so strong.

Live Shows, TV Shows, Festivals, Corporate Gigs and on Sunday a fantastic TV Special that captured 70 Years of Seven’s great history in television.

Thank you to Seven for being Effie’s home from the very beginning with Acropolis Now. It was a such a fantastic era for comedy in Australia.

So many incredible shows filled with so many brilliant stars who lit up our screens and made us laugh week after week.

Loved being part of 70 Years of Seven. Thank you @wenlei.ma and The Nightly for such a generous piece.

🤩🙌🏼💙🧿

The numbers speak for themselves.

Peri+menopause is a workplace issue that belongs in the workplace conversation.

70 YEARS OF 7 🎉
8 legends talking about 7 decades of great Seven entertainment @michaelusher @soniakruger @larryemdur @georgieparker @johgriggs7 @natalie_barr7.

In case there’s any confusion it’s Channel 7 that’s seventy. Me? I’m in my……early forties.

Seven and me go way back...from TV shows Acropolis Now to Greeks On The Roof to Dancing With The Stars and a million Sunrise and Morning Show appearances.

Long story long: I’m no stranger to this network. It’s obvious they can’t get enough of me. Plus their security’s got it bad for the Logie Award Winning Effster so getting in is never an issue. #hotthanks

📺 This Sunday, 8pm. Don’t miss this monumental celebration of Australian history. Dust off your TVs, tune in, watch it with your mother, your father, your cousins, your friends, or like me with your fans.

Love youse bad - I wouldn’t be here next to these legends without youse, legends. ❤️

It’s What The Flush Wednesday. This week we’re talking about dry, gritty, watery eyes during peri+menopause.

Yes, watery eyes can actually be a sign of dry eye. Your eyes are literally crying for help. 🥲

And of course nobody mentioned this one. You’re just out here thinking you’ve suddenly developed allergies, or you’re spending too much time on your phone, or maybe you’re just… tired?

Meanwhile your estrogen is pulling the rug out from under your tear glands and nobody told you.

Save this post for your next GP appointment. 👀

Or, comment POSSE and we’ll connect you with a menopause-savvy doctor who actually gets it. 💌
