44: Menopause: We Get Real with the Pleasure & the Pain

Janelle and Andrea take on menopause. Doctors may not have the answers, but women's collective wisdom does. Can we embrace this time as a sacred life cycle and an opportunity for rebirth? Can we share our stories more? Hear a transparent dialogue about symptoms, frustrations and what worked for us. Includes a nod to Anita Diamant's book "The Red Tent", a quote by Ursula K LeGuin, the podcast We Are More Than Menopause and Isabella Rossellini's article about getting denied by Hollywood after age 45. You'll hear:   ‌--Why Janelle & Andrea are having the best sex of their life now   --How HRT worked for Andrea   --Why we need not be at war with our body   --How Estradiol cream solved sandpapery, painful sex for Janelle   --Why a Diva Cup is economical and environmentally better   Get ready for some real-time relationship woo and wisdom--from the front lines about how breaking rules, blurring boundaries and tossing tradition--along with polyamory and plant medicine--have been catalysts for finding our truth. The Permission to Be Human Podcast debunks the myths we were told about fairytales and forever, so we can create a new map for life, love, and conscious relationships. Freedom is, in fact, the new F word.    If you're seeking permission to choose your own path, and want to feel less alone along the way, we've got you.   With heart-shaped sunglasses,   Janelle & Andrea
