Menopause as a Path to Authenticity

Perimenopause is not the end of desire — it may be the moment your body stops letting you betray yourself. Olga Kaplan joins Kathy Sionit for an open conversation about hormones, femininity, sexuality, and why so many women find themselves wondering, “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”Mood changes, weight gain, brain fog, night sweats, and shifts in libido can be more than symptoms to manage. Kathy shares her experience with premenopause as Olga explores how this transition can prompt deeper questions about identity, relationships, and the ways we show up for others.They discuss how hormonal changes may affect stress, intimacy, and self-care; why quick fixes don’t always address the full picture; and how to listen to your body with curiosity rather than judgment. Olga also shares a body-centered approach to reconnecting with pleasure and aliveness through breath, movement, sound, touch, nature, and conscious intimacy.For anyone navigating perimenopause or seeking a more compassionate understanding of this life stage, this episode offers new perspectives and thoughtful questions to carry forward: What do I want? What do I need? What am I ready to create next?Kathy Sionit hosts the conversation, bringing a personal perspective to questions many women may find difficult to voice.
