Episode #39 Navigating Relationships During Menopause

 Many people may think that menopause only affects the women who are going through it, but the truth is, it also impacts the people around them, especially their partners. Symptoms, such as those related to mood and intimacy, can affect emotional connection and fuel misunderstandings, often straining relationships. In this episode, licensed marriage and family therapist Stephanie Clavenna joins Dr. Cat Brown in exploring what it really looks like to navigate relationships during perimenopause and menopause. This episode covers how hormonal shifts can impact mental health, self-esteem, and intimacy, and what both women and their partners can do to better understand and support each other through these changes. The conversation also dives deeper into the importance of open communication and why this stage of life, while challenging, can also be a powerful opportunity to strengthen relationships. Have more questions you'd like to ask our experts?
