What happens when menopause arrives earlier than expected?


In this raw and insightful episode I sit down with Shae Elise, coach, writer, and founder of the upcoming Loba Collective, to explore the realities of early natural menopause at 44 — the grief, the identity shift, the fears, and the surprising gifts.


Together, we unpack:


  • What it really feels like to lose your menstrual “map” overnight
  • Why menopause is as much about conditioning and identity as it is about hormones
  • The privilege gap in navigating perimenopause and menopause
  • How micro-pauses and micro-pleasures can transform the journey
  • Why menopause is one of life’s greatest initiations


Whether you’re perimenopausal, postmenopausal, or simply curious about what lies ahead, this episode is a powerful reminder that we are not alone — and that there are many ways to walk this path.
