Let’s Talk Menopause | Changing the Conversation for Future Generations

Let’s Talk Menopause — because it’s time to change the conversation for future generations of women. In this empowering episode of the Disrupt & Discuss Podcast, hosts Just E & KayCee open up about the truth behind menopause — from hot flashes and brain fog to the emotional, physical, and cultural shifts women face in midlife. This is more than a women’s health talk; it’s a movement toward awareness, education, and empowerment.

Join us as we explore:
💬 How menopause impacts relationships and the men in our lives
💪 Why workplaces need to provide menopause support and flexibility
🧠 The stigma surrounding aging women — and how to break it
🌸 Preparing younger generations with real conversations and mentorship
🔥 Thriving through menopause instead of suffering in silence

This episode sheds light on the power, wisdom, and freedom that comes after menopause — a phase to be celebrated, not feared.

🎧 Listen, share, and join the conversation as we normalize menopause and rewrite what it means to age boldly, beautifully, and unapologetically.
