Have you ever wondered where your libido went? In this episode we do a deep dive on sexual slumps, low libido and lack of sexual desire that is frustrating (lack of desire that is not frustrating is not a problem!). We get to have this conversation first from the lens of Emmy-winning journalist Tamsen Fadal whose journey with low libido started in perimenopause and peaked on her honeymoon! From hot flashes and brain fog in the newsroom to bedroom low sex drive, Tamsen has become treasured for pulling back the curtain on midlife like never before. In this honest and empowering episode, menopause advocate Tamsen joins Shan for a conversation about menopause, sex drive and embracing life's shifts. Tamsen shares how a one-word note from her doctor "menopause...?" set off a journey she wasn't prepared for, and how that diagnosis impacted her body, her identity, and her intimacy. From tough talks with her husband to the quiet shame so many women carry through midlife transitions, Tamsen reminds us that getting older isn't the end of our sensual selves, it can actually be the beginning. In part two of this episode we are giving you a MasterClass on low libido led by three doctors: OBGYN Dr. Mickey, lifestyle medical physician Dr Lean AND Pelvic Floor expert Dr. Janelle Frederick aka the Vagina Rehab Doctor.

She is a New York Times bestselling author, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, a menopause advocate, a documentary filmmaker, and a content creator.  In our discussion, Tamsen explains why the anti-aging approach is outdated and potentially harmful, and how she advocates for a pro-aging or age-positive perspective instead.

We also debunk common myths and misconceptions about this pivotal life stage, discussing the importance of advocacy and lifestyle choices.

In this episode, former news anchor turned menopause advocate and New York Times best selling author, Tamsen Fadal (who I proudly call the “Menopause Queen”), reveals the shocking reality of women's healthcare during midlife transitions. With over 1 billion women expected to be in menopause by 2025, it's shocking how unprepared most feel. Tamsen shares her personal journey as a former news anchor who experienced severe menopause symptoms and felt gaslit by the medical community – from hearing excuses like “it's just stress” or “you're in menopause…period”.  Her bestselling book, 'How to Menopause', became a beacon for many women navigating similar experiences. We dive deep into the controversial truths about hormone replacement therapy, the identity crisis that accompanies menopause, and why the fear of breast cancer has prevented an entire generation from accessing effective treatment. Tamsen shares how she transformed her health crisis into her life's mission and offers practical guidance for women ready to take charge of their menopause journey. This isn't just another hormone conversation—it's a roadmap for thriving through one of life's biggest transitions. Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, this episode will change how you think about women's health and aging.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Tamsen Fadal:  https://www.instagram.com/tamsenfadal  Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, filmmaker, and a fearless advocate for women in midlife. After three decades in the spotlight as a news anchor, she made a bold pivot, stepping away from the desk and into a movement. She’s the executive producer of the groundbreaking PBS documentary The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, a film that has reached over a million women across 42 countries. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s just released her latest book, How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before, which is shaping up to be the guidebook women have long been waiting for. This conversation explores the transformative journey of menopause, the importance of community, shared experiences, and the need for open discussions about women's health. We have a deep conversation on the challenges and opportunities that arise during midlife, the significance of reinvention, and the creation of supportive networks. Takeaways Menopause is often misunderstood and not openly discussed. The journey of menopause can be a shared experience among women. Creating a supportive community is essential for women going through menopause. The documentary 'The M Factor' aims to change the narrative around menopause. Celebrating midlife is crucial; it's not the end but a new beginning. Reinvention at midlife can be daunting but is also an opportunity for growth. Women should embrace their health and well-being during menopause. Mentorship and inspiration from other women can guide the journey. Open conversations about menopause can help break the stigma. The future of women's health discussions should include all stages of life.

In this episode, you'll learn: The shocking physical and emotional changes nearly every woman faces but nobody talks about Real strategies for managing symptoms when your doctor just shrugs How to flip the script and use menopause as your portal to becoming the badass wise woman you were meant to be Ever notice how life comes at you in phases? One minute everyone's getting engaged, the next they're having babies, and just when you think you've got this adult thing figured out, there's a whole new transition waiting around the corner. I'm turning 40 this year, and suddenly menopause has appeared on my radar. Not because I'm experiencing it yet, but because I'm starting to realize it's this massive life event that nobody talks about until it's happening. And by then, most women are completely blindsided. It's wild when you think about it. We get the puberty talk. We have baby showers. But menopause? Complete radio silence. Like we're all supposed to just silently suffer through one of life's biggest transitions because... periods are icky and aging is scary? Give me a break. Half the population goes through this, and we still can't talk about it without whispering. Today our guest is Tamsen Fadal. She's a news anchor who found herself collapsed on a bathroom floor from symptoms nobody had warned her about, only to discover she was in menopause. After being left to figure it out alone, she's now fighting to change how we handle this universal female experience.

I am so excited to have my pal, award-winning journalist and menopause advocate, Tamsen Fadal, back on the show to celebrate her new book How To Menopause, which I had the honor of contributing to! It has been amazing to watch Tamsen step into being a midlife mentor. She is truly leading the menopause movement we desperately need and I am here for it. I don't know about you, but it wasn't fun going through perimenopause and menopause with next to zero knowledge and no one publicly talking about it. Tamsen shares how watching her mother go through menopause inspired her to cultivate a strong, shame-free community where women can talk about their menopause journeys. We're all going to go through it. Why not empower ourselves and the next generations with more knowledge? I think that's exactly what How to Menopause will do. ❤️ Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/702
