Therapist Brittany Milstead joins the Posse to talk about what happens when ADHD meets perimenopause and menopause. We dig into how hormones shape our brain chemistry, why focus and emotional regulation can feel so different in midlife, and how play and creativity keep us grounded. We even swap stories about estrogen patches (plus one very important Q-tip PSA). It’s honest, funny, and full of “oh, that’s me too” moments.

What do hot flashes and witch hunts have in common? In this witchy Halloween episode, Carrie, Krissy, and Dannielle explore how menopause, fear, and power shaped the myth of the witch — and what it says about women reclaiming their fire.

What does menopause have to do with magic, nature, and power? In this episode, Elena Rego, Priestess of the Holy and creator of The Holy Witch, joins us to reflect on what menopause can teach us about change, growth, and renewal. We talk about the cycles of nature, the wisdom that comes with change, and the importance of finding joy in play simply for pleasure's sake. This conversation celebrates the sacred in every season of womanhood.

It’s just Carrie, Dannielle, and Krissy catching up on all things midlife and menopause. From switching up estrogen delivery methods and talking orgasms to itchy eyelids, vegan makeup, and caring for aging parents, nothing’s off limits. Dannielle even shares her family meatball recipe (with the all-important salt) and there’s a special giveaway you won’t want to miss. Grab a cozy drink and listen in for laughs, real talk, and a new dinner idea.

Fee Sandoval shares how unexpected perimenopause symptoms led her to uncover major gaps in women’s healthcare — and how that journey inspired her vision for FemmeLoop, a new way to track, understand, and take charge of menopause.

In this episode of The MenoPosse Show, we talk with Lolly Ashburn, a breast cancer survivor and postmenopausal woman, about her journey from diagnosis through treatment and recovery. She shares how menopause factored into her experience, what it was like managing medicines and side effects, and why self-advocacy and community support matter so much. Whether you’re facing breast cancer yourself or want to better understand how it intersects with menopause, this conversation offers strength and practical insight.

In this episode, we’re stepping just a bit outside our usual menopause topics to focus on two programs that many of us encounter as caregivers—or will need ourselves one day: Medicare and Medicaid. Guest Sharon Rowen, a seasoned trial lawyer and award-winning filmmaker, joins us to break down what these programs are, how they differ, and what every menopausal woman should know when supporting aging parents or planning for her own healthcare future. From Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D to key pitfalls to avoid, this is a practical, no-jargon conversation to navigating coverage with confidence.

Not every woman experiences every perimenopause symptom, but if there were a prize for collecting the full set, our friend Kay Hesketh might just be in the running!

From uncharacteristic anxiety and unexplained nausea to sleep disruptions and everything in between, Kay opens up about the symptoms that caught her completely off guard—daily changes that left her feeling unlike herself.

Like many of us, she grew up in a household where menopause wasn’t exactly a talking point. Her mom didn’t offer much guidance, but a supportive aunt helped fill in some of the gaps and Kay took it from there. In true Gen X fashion, she took matters into her own hands, diving into the research, asking questions, and starting the conversations she wished she’d had earlier.

Now, she’s paying it forward by sharing what’s helped, what hasn’t, and all the resources she wishes she had from the start (some of them are linked in the show notes!).

In this episode, Kay talks about:

• The symptoms that blindsided her
• How she communicates about menopause with her family
• Coping tools and mindset shifts that help
• Books, Instagram accounts, and other resources she recommends

Whether you're just starting your menopause journey or you're deep in it, Kay’s honest and insightful story will leave you feeling seen, supported, and a little more equipped.

Grab a cozy seat and come listen.

Sometimes great things can come out of menopause, like we talked about in our glowup episode. But other times life is heavy and our menopause symptoms aren't making it any easier.

This episode was inspired by Melani Sanders (founder of the "We Do Not Care Club") and her vulnerable and unfiltered social media post about having a down day. You're not alone, Melani. We have those days, too. 

It’s important to acknowledge the hard days, to give ourselves the space and grace to feel what we’re feeling. So come join us. Let’s talk about the messy stuff. Let’s commiserate, and maybe even find a little comfort in the process.

We've got a registered nurse on this episode, so watch out because we're flinging vulvas and bringing out the big medical words! :) 

Our friend Christine Doyle Opela joins us to share her menopause journey and talk frankly about everything from urinary tract infections to sagging vaginas. We also discuss the pros and cons of various applications of estrogen treatment. This is a fun and educational episode you won't want to miss!
