Episode 18: Moving Through It: How Pole Dance Can Transform Your Menopause Journey

Welcome to Fit, Fierce, and Fearless, the podcast by GenX Pole Arts! I’m Zen (Nancy Adzentoivich), here to celebrate women over 40 finding strength, confidence, and community through pole dancing.

This solo episode is all about my real, unfiltered journey through brain fog, mood swings, body changes, and the total WTF moments that had me wondering if I was losing my mind. Spoiler: I wasn’t—I was just in perimenopause.

I’m sharing what I’ve learned, what shocked me, and how I’m navigating this phase with strength and curiosity. If you’ve ever felt confused, unseen, or unprepared for this part of womanhood—you are not alone.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• ​When perimenopause can start (yep, it might be earlier than you think)
• ​The difference between symptoms we expect vs. the ones no one talks about
• ​How menopause impacts our mental clarity, mood, and body
• ​Why it’s important to challenge the silence around menopause—and talk about it
