• Reshma Saujani on Breaking the Midlife Penalty and Rewriting the Rules of Aging

  In this bold and honest conversation, Stacy is joined by Reshma Saujani—activist, bestselling author, founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First, and host of My So-Called Midlife—for a candid exploration of how menopause and midlife are shifting the paradigm for women’s power, purpose, and priorities. They dismantle outdated narratives around ambition, beauty, caregiving, and perfectionism. Reshma coins the term “midlife penalty,” drawing attention to the economic, physical, and emotional costs women face simply for aging. She opens up about unlearning the need for external validation, the importance of spiritual grounding, and why she believes Gen X women are the agitators our culture needs. From career burnout to body changes, from psychedelics to play, this episode is a no-BS manifesto for reclaiming curiosity, joy, and justice in the second half of life.

• Menopause, Medicine & Misinformation with Dr. Carol Tavris & Dr. Avrum Bluming

  In this episode, Stacy chats with oncologist Dr. Avrum Bluming and social psychologist Dr. Carol Tavris, co-authors of Estrogen Matters, to unpack the cultural, medical, and historical misinformation surrounding hormone therapy (HRT). They revisit the legacy of the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study and how it derailed decades of potential progress in women’s health. Dr. Bluming explains the real science behind estrogen and its life-saving benefits for heart health, bone density, and cognitive function. Dr. Tavris breaks down the sociocultural forces—including outdated medical education and feminist skepticism—that have kept generations of women from accessing effective care. Together, they make the case for why it's time to challenge medical orthodoxy, rewrite the narrative on menopause, and advocate for informed, individualized care. It’s an essential conversation for anyone navigating midlife, medicine, and misinformation. Hello Menopause is a podcast from Let’s Talk Menopause. Produced in partnership with Studio Kairos.
