About

Aging often comes with stigma, especially for women, who may feel pressure to cling to their youth to maintain their “sense of value.” This is reinforced by the media we consume. Shows like The Golden Girls and And Just Like That… (the Sex and the City reboot) depict menopause and aging in vastly different ways—highlighting the mixed messages society sends about growing older.

Menopause is the end of your menstrual cycle, not the end of your life. So why is embracing aging so tricky?

In this episode, MiM's medical team challenges the perceptions of aging. Join Dr. Rachel Pope, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Anna Myers, Urology Nurse Practitioner & Sex Counselor, and Jean Marino, Women’s Sexual Health and Menopause Expert for a conversation on ageism, puberty, periods, and why menopause should be celebrated.

"We should all be so lucky to get to menopause and beyond." — Jean Marino.
