Anna Dannfelt - Menopause Is Not a Disease, it's a Transformation
🎙️ Episode Title:
Menopause Is Not a Disease—It’s a Rite of Passage
🪷 Episode Summary:
In this fierce and freeing conversation, Keri is joined by veteran aromatherapist, coach, and wise woman Anna Denfeld to reclaim menopause as the sacred transformation it truly is. Together they dismantle toxic cultural narratives that treat menopause as a disease or a decline and instead frame it as a chrysalis moment—a profound shift into power, clarity, and elderhood. This episode is a call to arms (and hearts) for any woman who's tired of shrinking and ready to rise.
👤 About Anna Denfeld:
With over 35 years of experience as an aromatherapist, coach, and women's guide, Anna Denfeld is passionate about helping women reclaim their bodies, power, and truth. Post-menopause herself, Anna works with women to shift the narrative around aging—from fear and shame to strength and sovereignty. Her work weaves body wisdom, spiritual insight, and cultural critique into a grounded and liberating approach to transformation.
✨ Topics We Explore:
Why menopause is not the end, but the beginning of your Second Spring
The cultural programming that teaches women to disappear after 50
What the caterpillar and chrysalis can teach us about this life phase
Why shame is the most powerful tool used to control women
The myth of menopause as a “disease” (and who benefits from that narrative)
How to embrace aging without pathologizing it
The invisible labor of enduring and the toll it takes on our bodies
What it means to move from adulthood into true elderhood
Creating a society where postmenopausal women are leaders, not liabilities
