Manage episode 493656875 series 3655780
Hosted by Rosemary Davies-Janes & J’aime Rothbard. Produced by J’aime Rothbard.
In this social-myth-busting expose, perimenopause is presented as a force that both transforms and empowers women' s relationships with their bodies, self-worth, sexuality and desirability.
In this fluid conversation, three women explore multiple perspectives and experiences of menopause and trauma. Inés invites listeners to use their menopause experiences to redefine their relationships with their bodies, to reclaim pleasure, sensuality and sexuality. Their experiences contradict the outdated belief that a woman's worth and desirability diminishes as she ages. Inés stresses that menopause is not a medical condition but a natural process, and goes on to explain:
- International societal beliefs that influence women's menopause experiences - How individual and generational trauma and manifests in our bodies - Why it’s important to learn to relate to other women in a way that feels safe - The role LSD plays in her Laboratory for Reconnecting with Our Mother - How women’s circles, self-care and companionship provide healing and support - What men need to know about their women’s journey through menopause
Join us to gain rich insights that invite you to remove barriers, transform your relationships with women, heal your personal and generational trauma, and enjoy a sense of solidarity with other women who are preparing for, or experiencing, menopause.

Quotes:
“Let's enrich the conversations and the solutions, from grief to pride, the pride of being born, the pride of going through shared pleasure in life so that life is the psychedelic experience without Psychedelics.” - Inés Zabalaga
“We need to relearn how to relate to women in a way that we feel safe around women because we all come from a mother. And this is again… about trauma and menopause, how those two relate. It is very difficult to find a mother …[or] grandma … really feeling supported, doing nothing when she's tired, or when she's grieving … and she feels that she can dedicate her life to raise this baby, take care of the baby until the level of dependency allows her to just let them go.” - Inés Zabalaga
