There is a massive gap in understanding menopause from a male partner’s perspective—and why it’s causing unnecessary confusion, conflict, and disconnection in relationships.

Where to start? What they don’t know about menopause might kill them? Or us?

In this episode I am joined by the author of the recently published book by a male, for males, but also valuable to women about navigating menopause with partners.

Instead of focusing only on biology, this conversation dives into what really matters:

👉 Communication

👉 Emotional support

👉 Relationship dynamics

👉 Practical ways men can show up better

The episode highlights that menopause isn’t just a women’s health issue—it’s a relationship transition. When they know what they used to not know about menopause, it can actually strengthen connection and improve intimacy long-term.

My Guest:

Joe Warner is an award-winning journalist and best-selling author. His new book, Burning Up, Frozen Out - What Every Man Needs to Know About the Menopause (But No One Told You), explains how men can better understand and support their partners through menopause, while also taking better care of their own health.

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

Why do so many men still struggle to understand perimenopause and menopause - and what impact does that have on relationships?

How can menopause affect connection, communication and day-to-day life as a couple in ways people might not expect?

What do men consistently get wrong - and how can you guide them to support you in a way that actually helps?

What are some simple, realistic ways partners can better support each other through this transition?

How can couples stay connected and on the same team when everything feels like it’s shifting?

Why can intimacy and libido become such a challenge during this stage - and how is it often misunderstood?
