I’ll never forget when a doctor said to me that my symptoms COULD be signs that menopause is coming. I was floored. And clueless. When exactly does menopause start? What does it look like? What do I need to be aware of? Is my sex life DOOMED when it comes? We breakdown all the common questions, the unknowns and the new ways we can look at menopause, understand it, and even find community in this seemingly taboo topic (because why aren’t we talking about it?)

One of our top guests ever is back! Nicole Breanne came on The Papaya Podcast a couple years back to share her story of her divorce and finding love again. A big part of that story was the friendship that got her through. Now, she’s back to share vulnerably something that so many of us have experienced but rarely have the space to talk about - what happens when a friendship changes, shifts, or even ends? Why is navigating friendship pauses and breakups so taboo? Why is it always drama? Is there a better way? Nicole’s thoughtful approach to the entire conversation is not to be missed.
