Christine Marie Mason | Philosopher, Author, & Teacher

*Sorry about the dog (Toro) heavy panting*

What if everything you've been told about women's life cycles is incomplete? Christine Marie Mason, author of "The Nine Lives of Women," joins us to shatter outdated notions of the maiden-mother-crone model and introduce a revolutionary framework that honors the full spectrum of feminine experience across nine distinct life stages.

A mother of six, successful tech entrepreneur, and embodiment expert, Christine shares her journey toward understanding what she calls "the embodied liberation of the feminine." Through her intimate care company and conversations with thousands of women navigating perimenopause and menopause, she discovered a troubling pattern: our culture consistently denies women's inherent knowledge of their own bodies.

The conversation takes unexpected turns as Christine challenges productivity-driven identities (including her own past), suggests that many of our accomplishments come from a place of seeking validation rather than joy, and reveals how finding your authentic energy can transform how others perceive and respond to you—regardless of age or conventional attractiveness.

Perhaps most revolutionary is Christine's identification of three distinct stages after menopause—a period typically treated in conventional medicine as a single unchanging state until death. With women now living approximately 30 years beyond menopause, her insights on biohacking specifically for female physiology, building hormonal intelligence, and reclaiming energy through intentional rest offer practical wisdom for this extended life phase.

Whether you're approaching midlife transitions or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a refreshing perspective on the journey ahead. As Christine beautifully reminds us, "The time after menopause is so much more joyful and vivacious than anyone ever told me, and it's probably been the best period of my life."
