Getting Used to It — From Shame to Celebration: What Other Cultures Get Right (and Wrong) About Menopause
Manage episode 501637229 series 3556198
What happens when menopause meets culture? In this episode, we explore how midlife is understood—and misunderstood—across the globe. Some countries embrace it. Others hide it. And a few? They turn it into something sacred.
From whispered taboos to public policy, herbal wisdom to spiritual awakening, we uncover surprising truths about how the world handles this universal transition. Let’s just say: not every country sees menopause the way you think they do.
Tune in for a global conversation that might just change the way you see your own midlife story. And tell us—how does your culture handle menopause?
