Episode notes
How do you create a community that helps women across Greater Manchester feel seen, heard and valued?
Emma Neville is a menopause coach and trained counsellor, whose work is centred around listening to and supporting women.
Hear about the lessons she’s learnt from spending years giving her time to supporting people across Manchester from inside some of the city's most important charities, and from raising two girls in a family that's always on the move.
After struggling with early menopause, Emma is on a mission to get this generation of Manc women to be the ones to make menopause matter. You’ll learn why Emma is calling this chapter of her life 'untamed' and why saying ‘no’ can be a full sentence.
From creating her community and holding This Is Me parties, Emma has come to understand the power of bringing a room full of Manchester women together. She tells Lisa why bottling that energy could be Manchester’s next biggest export.

Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business and its team members have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.
To celebrate the 30 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.
