Menopause as a New Beginning: Cultural Perspectives

Solo-Episode Notes from Touchy Feely Podcast with Lauren, Founder of BerryLemon

Global Cultural Views:

  • Japan: "Second Spring" - transition to new purpose
  • Native American: "Women of Wisdom" - celebration of power
  • Mayan: Time of increased freedom and leadership
  • Chinese Medicine: Natural energy transformation
  • Traditional shamanic cultures: Gateway to spiritual power

Key Discussion Points:

  • Western medicalization vs. cultural celebration
  • Language shapes experience (menopause vs. "konenki")
  • Women living 30-40 years post-menopause = second act
  • Reclaiming narratives and rejecting limitation stories
  • Modern women leading movements and organizations post-menopause
