Women Without Kids

Life Beyond the Biological Clock with Stacy London


Listen Later

Rethinking aging as women without kids, with TV host and menopause activist, Stacy London. In the episode we discuss:

-Stacy’s experience of being faced with her biological clock - and being confronted with the finality of menopause. 

-Her friend group getting younger and younger, as all the women her age got married and had kids.

-What longer lifespans in general will do for our procreative potential.

-Why the “grandmother” figure is the only valid role for older women in our society - and how women without kids can embody grandma energy.

-Why agism is often cloaked sexism. 

-The different factors - genetic and otherwise - that determine how we experience menopause. 

-Why Gen X is changing the script about what it means to be an “older woman.”

-Why information is power when it comes to navigating menopause – and how to advocate for what you need.

-Why Stacy decided her product company, State of Menopause, was not the best way to help people in this transition, and why she is shifting her focus to education going forward.
