Summary

Menopause is a transition that is so hushed, misunderstood, and often considered "taboo” in our culture. But what many fail to notice is that menopause is a beautiful new chapter in life that deserves respect, recognition, and reverence. I'm on a mission to change the conversation around menopause to one of profound power and wisdom - because at this stage in life, we have ARRIVED! Also on this mission is my guest on today's episode of On Health, the multi-Emmy Award-winning midlife enthusiast and champion of women's stories, Tamsen Fadal. Tamsen is openly sharing her personal menopause journey, confronting a pervasive lack of knowledge about it, and challenging stigmas about getting older through her substantial following, her "Coming Up Next" podcast, and a forthcoming book and documentary on menopause and the power of midlife. In this episode, Tamsen and I discuss the world of menopause and pro-aging, exploring topics including: What it means to be a “midlife enthusiast” The freedom in telling it like it is Tamsen's on-camera hot flash moment and how it contributed to a redirect in her life and work Her thoughts on and experience with hormone therapy Tropes she would love to see dispelled when it comes to menopause The duality of embracing aging while doing what makes her feel her best Join us as we change the narrative about menopause and celebrate our wise selves! Whether you are transitioning through perimenopause, in menopause, or aren't even close, this episode is packed with wisdom that all women need to hear. Thank you so much for taking the time to tune in to your body, yourself, and this podcast!
