AGECRAFT After Dark
AGECRAFT After Dark is what happens when the 3 a.m. thoughts stop being ignored and start being followed.
Formerly Circling the Drain, this next iteration expands the conversation beyond menopause and midlife into something wider, weirder, and more alive—aging, identity, and reinvention for women, queer, and gender-expansive people who know there’s no neat box to fit into and no final version waiting on the other side.
The “ghosts” here aren’t paranormal (usually). They’re inherited patterns, past selves, and memories that still have opinions. Instead of exorcising them, we get curious.
Expect thoughtful conversations, sharp humor, and stories that are personal, cultural, and occasionally a little strange.
If you’re listening at night, that tracks.
Welcome to the circle.

I've Run Out of Cope with Emily Barclay
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When Emily Barclay learned that the word "perimenopause" applied to her, she went online to seek out help and support and found that it simply didn’t exist. Instead of dissolving into a pool of her own hormonal tears and sweat, she set up Perimenopause Hub, bringing together experts across different disciplines from around the world and creating a community where women could feel less alone. As if that and her pink and turquoise hair weren't cool enough, she prides herself on having shunned the stereotypical forms of adulting and lives in the UK with her partner, five dogs, and 14 hives of bees. We talk about the importance of tracking your cycle and symptoms, the power of setting boundaries, and how a hug can help when you've run out of cope. They don't call her The Peri-godmother for nothing.
