    Hot, Bothered, and Misunderstood: The Truth About Perimenopause | Ep 7

    One day you’re fine, the next day you’re crying in Target — welcome to perimenopause. Welcome to the Menopause Love Lounge, where we’re pulling back the curtain on the most confusing chapter of womanhood... perimenopause. This isn’t just hot flashes and mood swings; it’s a full-body plot twist that no one warned us about. Join Andrea Knoche and her unapologetically real panel: Dawn Wiggins, Ozzy Osbourne, Junie Moon, Karen Viesta and Laurie Gerber, as they spill the truth about shifting hormones, wild symptoms, and the emotional roller coaster of midlife. From “WTF is happening to my body?” moments to why doctors still miss the signs, we’re breaking down the cultural confusion and calling out the medical gaslighting. Plus, don’t miss our hilarious game of Friend, Therapist, or Doctor... because sometimes you just need to know which one to call first. Raw. Real. Relatable. This episode will leave you laughing, nodding, and realizing you’re not losing it — you’re just in perimenopause. 🎙️ Tune in and reclaim your power, one hot flash at a time. In this episode: The WTF Moment That Started It AllWe're kicking off the moment each of us knew our bodies had gone rogue - the meltdown, the midnight Google spiral, or the doctor's visit that left us more confused than when we walked in. Every woman has that first "Wait..is this menopause?! story" ...and yours might sound a lot like outs. The Great Misdiagnosis Mystery” Next, we will share this wild data we found — turns out it’s easier to get labeled with depression, anxiety, or thyroid issues than perimenopause. So why are women dismissed by the very system meant to help? And what happens to our confidence when every test says we’re ‘fine’ but our bodies scream otherwise? The One Truth Every Woman Deserves to Know: Before we wrap, we’re playing ‘Friend, Therapist, or Doctor?’—because half the time in perimenopause, you don’t know who to call. We’re sharing the moments that made us wonder, Is this hormones, heartbreak, or a medical emergency? Stay tuned to find out which ones had us texting a girlfriend, booking therapy, or speed-dialing urgent care. And so much more... Where to find the ladies.. Where to find the ladies...

    Over It: Why the Wellness Industry Is Making Women Crazy |Ep 6

    Is your self-care actually stressing you out? Let’s talk about the wellness trap. Let’s be real. Somewhere between green juices, hormone hacks, and endless morning routines, wellness started to feel like a full-time job. In this episode of The Menopause Love Lounge, we dive into the world of menopause wellness and midlife self-care to ask the real question: are we truly nurturing ourselves, or just fueling the trillion-dollar wellness industry? Join us as we strip away the filters, laugh at the chaos, and get honest about what caring for ourselves really means during menopause. This is women’s health without the pressure, the guilt, or the BS. What we promise to discuss.... First, we’re talking about The Wellness Hamster Wheel. You know that feeling when “self-care” somehow turns into a color-coded to-do list? From red-light masks to mushroom coffee, we’ll share our own confessions about when our wellness routines started running us instead of helping us.Then, we’ll zoom out for The $5.6 Trillion Trap — because the wellness industry calls it empowerment, but sometimes it feels like another hustle in disguise. We’ll unpack the myth that health can be bought, youth can be hacked, and why the cure always seems to come with a subscription fee.And finally, we’ll wrap with our favorite segment, Self-Care or Self-Punishment? — a rapid-fire round where we ask the only question that really matters: does it feel like care… or like pressure dressed up in pretty packaging?And so much more... Menopause Love Lounge dives into menopause, perimenopause, hormone health, hormone replacement therapy, adrenal fatigue, hot flashes, and night sweats—and how they intertwine with love, intimacy, identity, midlife relationships, dating, marriage, divorce, libido, and emotional wellness, helping women navigate midlife with confidence, connection, and pleasure.   Where to find the ladies...

    Unmute Me: Self-Expression and Menopause | Ep 3

    Unmute me: Self Expression and Menopause Let’s talk about self-expression—or maybe how we’ve silenced it. In this episode of Menopause Love Lounge, we’re talking about the brave, and often messy process of saying what we mean, wearing what we want, and showing up unapologetically in midlife. Some of us are speaking more. Some of us are speaking less—but more honestly and directly. And then there’s that freeing moment we’ve all hit: the “I don’t care” era. The one where we stop editing ourselves for comfort, approval, or validation. Where confidence replaces apology—and authenticity becomes our loudest statement. This isn’t just about fashion or creativity—it’s about refusing to disappear and no longer asking for permission. Welcome to the lounge. What we're covering in this episode: Personal Reflections What does self-expression mean to you right now? What’s changed since you were in your 30’s Cultural Watch From icons to everyday people: Who’s rocking it—or wrecking it—after 40? Legs Wide Open Do we care...or don't we? And so much more....

    Mirror, Mirror, WTF?!?! Surviving Menopause | Ep 1

    What if the mirror isn’t the enemy—but the invitation? What happens when six women get real about their bodies? The sag, the softness, the stretch marks, and the power? In this episode of Menopause Love Lounge, we’re stripping away the shame and rewriting the story of body image after 40. From hiding in photos and walking out of rooms backwards to boudoir shoots, massive boobies, and curvy thighs, nothing is off-limits. We’ll dig into how aging shifts our identity, how culture keeps gaslighting us with impossible beauty standards, and why midlife isn’t the end of sexy...it’s the beginning of a deeper, bolder, unapologetic kind of confidence. And don’t miss our Hot Flash Confessions! They are raw, hilarious, and painfully relatable moments that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even cry. We've saved your seat so join us for the conversation every woman deserves but few are brave enough to have. ✨ In this episode of Menopause Love Lounge, we answer the questions every woman over 40 secretly asks: 💭 How do you rebuild confidence when the mirror doesn’t match how you feel inside?💭 Are beauty standards setting us up to fail—or can we rewrite them on our own terms?💭 What does it really take to fall back in love with your body after 40?
