The Nancy Stevens Lifestyle Show
Sunday, 10 August 2025 - 51 minutes
In this milestone 30th episode of The Nancy Stevens Lifestyle Show, Nancy kicks things off with her signature mix of warmth, wit and wisdom. From a sparkly night out with Supersonic Queen at The Arches Theatre, to her latest yoga retreat adventures, supermarket fashion choices, and reflections on overcoming social anxiety, she shares her recent highs, lows and hilarious wardrobe mishaps.
Nancy also dives into her personal health journey—losing two stone naturally, overcoming pre-diabetes, and the transformative power of intermittent fasting, stress reduction and rethinking processed food. She chats about body image, the importance of a good seamstress, and her passion for tailoring clothes to celebrate changing bodies.
In the second half, Nancy is joined by the radiant Ailsa Petchey, founder of The Olive Collective and one of the UK’s leading menopause experts. Ailsa shares her wealth of knowledge on holistic wellbeing, Pilates, and the power of community, while celebrating the phenomenal success of her Don’t Sweat It walking group—which clocked an incredible 1.6 million steps!
Together, Nancy and Ailsa explore what it truly means to thrive through menopause and beyond. From hormone health to confidence, loneliness to lifestyle changes, and the impact of movement on mental clarity and sleep, no topic is off limits. They also dive into the Beyond Project, a groundbreaking exhibition and event platforming real stories from real women across the UK.
Nancy reflects on her own journey—embracing change, overcoming pre-diabetes, and breaking free from toxic patterns—and the transformative power of reconnecting with herself. This episode is packed with wisdom, laughter, vulnerability, and celebration of strong, unstoppable women rewriting the menopause narrative.
💫 Whether you're postmenopausal, perimenopausal, or supporting someone who is—this is a must-watch conversation full of hope, humour, and heart.
