In this episode, Jen explores how menopause is seen across cultures, from Japan’s “renewal years” to Indigenous traditions that honour elder women as guides and leaders. She contrasts these empowering perspectives with the Western tendency to medicalise and minimise menopause, leaving women feeling diminished. Jen makes the case for reclaiming this stage as a time of renewal, power, and wisdom and invites us to shift the story for ourselves and the generations to come.
