In this episode, we revisit our conversation with Jo Visser about perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause and why we don't speak about it freely and more often. 

Jo has a background as a nurse and an educator, and she incorporates the best of those disciplines into her coaching to provide women with tools to break the taboos around menopause, advocate, and empower themselves. She is a Co-active Coach, Facilitator, and Educator who loves transforming uncomfortable conversations into enjoyable conversations.

We debunk the most common myths about menopause and its effects on women, share our clear stand on the taboos around "puberty's other end," and discuss the need most women have for more precise and accessible information about menopause and its effects. 

In addition, we discuss the hormonal changes that menopause produces in us and why we should embrace and accept them instead of denying or fighting them. We also explore the harmful effects of society's recurrent practice of shaming and judging women's bodies and sexuality.
