SUMMARY:
In this episode of Navigating Life After 40, host Roni J sits down with Jae Washington for an unfiltered, girlfriend-to-girlfriend chat about the often-hidden realities of perimenopause and menopause. Together, they explore the emotional, physical, and mental changes that come with this stage of life, with a special focus on the unique challenges Black women face. From personal stories about mood swings and intimacy changes to tackling healthcare self-advocacy, Roni and Jae pull back the curtain on what menopause 'really' looks like.
Listeners will gain insights into the importance of self-compassion, building supportive communities, and breaking cultural stigmas around mental health in midlife. This candid discussion sheds light on the strength, growth, and wisdom that can emerge when women support one another through life’s big transitions.
