Through Menopause Together: Marriage, Mood Swings and Menopause

Send us Fan MailThrough Menopause Together: Marriage, Mood Swings and MenopauseOn Faded to Fabulous, Vicki welcomes guest "Farah Faucet" and Kim’s husband Michael for a conversation about menopause, support, and partnership. Kim shares how menopause-related hair thinning led her to invest in extensions, boosting her confidence and reinforcing her mantra that women don’t have to live with fixable issues. She recounts receiving little menopause care from providers and feeling isolated, anxious, and mood-dysregulation, with heavy frequent cycles until Michael urged her to find support. Michael describes being naive about menopause, “turtling” during conflict, and learning that men can feel isolated too. They discuss improved communication post-menopause, practical teamwork in daily life, advice for partners not to take symptoms personally, and the value of education and treatment plans.00:00 No Menopause Support00:16 Podcast Welcome00:33 Hair Extensions Reveal02:57 Doing It for Me03:56 Meet Michael04:47 Kim’s Menopause Highs05:40 Low Point and Advocacy06:45 Isolation and Mood Swings07:42 Michael’s Perspective09:40 Partners Need Education11:54 Family Menopause History13:05 Who’s Coming Downstairs14:08 Midlife Changes and Parenting15:18 Owning Confidence at 6115:43 Michael as the Caboose16:59 When Communication Broke Down18:39 Quieter Season Together20:53 Advice for Menopause Partners24:38 Hormones and the Goldilocks Zone25:22 Favorite Things and Pride28:09 Wrap Up and Call to ActionSupport the show✨ Join the Faded to Fabulous Community💝 Support Our Mission!
