380: What They Don't Tell You About Menopause & Midlife with Tamsen Fadal

Welcome back to The Brave Table, my loves. Today’s episode is one of the most important conversations we’ve had around midlife and women’s health.

I’m sitting down with Tamsen Fadal—Emmy Award-winning journalist, New York Times bestselling author, and the unapologetic voice behind social media’s “midlife mentor” movement. After spending more than three decades as a beloved news anchor, Tamsen went through a shocking experience that changed everything.

Tamsen shares her raw and emotional journey of learning she was in menopause from her patient portal, and how that shocking moment became the catalyst for a movement to empower millions of women to reclaim their midlife health.

What you'll get out of this episode…

The shocking way Tamsen found out she was in menopause
The common symptoms women ignore (and what they’re really telling you)
Why women’s pain is so often dismissed by the medical system
What it really means to “midlife differently” (and why it’s your superpower)
How to talk to your doctor when they won’t listen
Tools to reclaim your identity, health, and radiance in this next chapter
