Menopause, Sex & Self-Love - Tanya Kazeminy

Send us Fan MailMenopause has been sold to women as something to survive. A slow decline. A loss of youth, beauty, sexuality and relevance.But what if we've simply been told the wrong story?When I sat down with Tanya Kazeminy, it felt less like an interview and more like a conversation with a dear friend who had so much wisdom to share. Tanya is passionate about helping women embrace this stage of life with confidence, reconnect with their bodies, understand their hormones, heal their relationship with sexuality, and step into what she believes can be one of the most empowering chapters of our lives.We talked about why self-love isn't selfish, how comparison keeps women disconnected from themselves, and why learning to regulate our nervous system can change the way we experience everyday life. Tanya also shares simple practices to quiet the inner critic and approach ourselves with more compassion, especially during the enormous changes of perimenopause and menopause.Of course, we also explored some of the topics many women are actively searching for. We discuss perimenopause symptoms, menopause, postmenopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the lingering fear created by the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study, and why finding accurate, up-to-date information is so important when making decisions about your own health.One of my favourite parts of our conversation was Tanya's openness around sexuality. We spoke about desire, intimacy, boundaries, sexual wellbeing and why pleasure deserves to be part of the conversation, not something women leave behind as they get older.If you've been feeling overwhelmed by menopause, questioning the changes happening in your body, or wondering whether this stage of life could hold something more than you've been led to believe, I think you'll find this conversation both reassuring and empowering.Because menopause isn't the end of your story.It may just be the beginning of your most authentic chapter yet.Visit our website to find out more about this week's guest.All of our guests, including this one, are included in our Guest Directory so that you can find out more about them and the work that they do.https://midliferebelpodcast.com/guest-directoryIf you'd like to support the show you can buy me a coffee!https://buymeacoffee.com/midliferebelpodcast
