Perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause can make up nearly half of a woman’s life. So why are we still not talking about it?

In this follow-up to our conversation with Dr. Suzanne, Amy and Sasha continue exploring the realities of perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause and why these conversations are so important.

Sasha shares the deeply personal story behind why Dr. Suzanne is “her angel,” opening up about being diagnosed with thyroid cancer while pregnant with her son and the support she received during that frightening time.

Together, Amy and Sasha reflect on the powerful feedback from listeners who said the episode helped them feel less alone. They discuss the silence and confusion that often surround menopause, the challenge of conflicting information, and the importance of advocating for your health.

They also talk candidly about mood changes, intimacy, body changes, relationships, and the emotional impact of feeling like you’re “not yourself.” Most of all, this episode is about the healing power of honesty, community, and saying these experiences out loud.

Whether HRT is an option for you or not, the message remains the same: you don’t have to navigate this season alone.
