🎙 Menopause, Meno-Divorce & the Awakening No One Talks About
What really happens when we stop whispering about menopause?
In this episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast, I sit down with Alyx Coble-Frakes, educator, menstrual health coach, and founder of The Agenda Period, to explore the truth about menopause, perimenopause, and the inner awakening that comes with both.
We talk about the rising phenomenon of “meno-divorce” a growing wave of relationship breakdowns during midlife and the emotional, biological, and social forces that drive it.
Alyx shares how understanding your cycle like the seasons can transform the way you approach productivity, rest, and self-care, and why this phase isn’t an ending but an invitation to start again.
Together, we unpack the myths around hormones, explore whether the moon can really sync with our cycles, and discuss how perimenopause can feel less like a decline and more like an awakening.✨
In this episode we cover:
✅ The rise of meno-divorce and why it’s more common than we think
✅ Perimenopause vs. menopause: what’s really happening in your body
✅ Cycles as seasons, how to find rhythm in hormonal change
✅ How education (and conversation) can rewrite the menopause story
✅ The role of the moon and intuition science vs. symbolism
✅ Redefining womanhood, purpose, and identity in midlife
✅ How to support partners and friends through this transition
✅ Practical tools for calm, clarity, and connectionThis isn’t a story about decline, it’s about redefinition.
About listening to your body, honouring the shifts, and finding freedom in the change.
