Menopause is not just hormonal.It’s historical. Cultural. Political. Personal.In this powerful Black History Month conversation, Dr. Arianna sits down with Omisade Burney-Scott — cultural worker, storyteller, and founder of The Black Girl’s Guide to Surviving Menopause — to radically expand how we understand midlife.This episode challenges the narrow, binary narrative that has long defined menopause in the United States and asks a deeper question:Who has been centered in this conversation — and who has been left out?Together, we explore:The concept of the Menopausal MultiverseHow menopause has been flattened into a limited medical narrative“Weathering” — the biological impact of chronic stress and generational traumaWhy reproductive justice includes menopauseCultural identity and how it shapes healthcare access and outcomesThe power of language — and why “ladies” may not be the right defaultHow we create safe containers for new narratives to emergeThis conversation goes beyond symptoms and prescriptions.It’s about who is seen.Who is heard.And who has historically been excluded from care.Listen with curiosity.Listen with openness.Because this one may stretch you — in the best way.About Our GuestOmisade Burney-Scott (she/her) is a Black Southern, 7th-generation North Carolinian feminist, cultural worker, and social justice advocate with decades of experience in nonprofit leadership and philanthropy. She is the creator of The Black Girl’s Guide to Surviving Menopause, a multimedia narrative-shift project rooted in reproductive justice and cultural storytelling.Timestamped Breakdown00:00 – Opening reflections & Black History Month framing03:45 – Introducing Omisade and her work06:20 – The Menopausal Multiverse explained11:10 – How menopause became a narrow, binary narrative15:30 – Identity, race & lived experience in midlife health20:40 – Weathering: chronic stress & generational trauma27:15 – Reproductive justice in midlife33:50 – Who gets centered in menopause conversations39:10 – Language, inclusion & cultural competency44:25 – Expanding care beyond hormones alone49:40 – What providers must understand55:15 – Final reflections on widening the frame of careResources & Links🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube📍 Book a menopause consultation at Tula Wellness📘 Buy The Menopause Myth: What Your Mother, Doctor, and Friends Haven’t Shared About Life After 35📊 Take the Menopause IQ self-assessment📖 Download a free chapter of The Menopause Myth📱 Follow Dr. Arianna on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedInIf you love the podcast, leaving a review helps more women find this conversation and access evidence-based midlife education.

Welcome back to Stay Juicy. Today’s episode is a different kind of juicy — it’s real, raw, and deeply human. I’m joined by my dear friend, psychotherapist and creative powerhouse Dawn McMillan, for a conversation that honestly felt like a therapy session I didn’t know I needed.This week was a lot — aging parents, a child in transition, my husband’s health scare, business pressures, and the weight of just… being human. Dawn and I dive into the truth of midlife: how adulting gets heavier, how we get lost in our thoughts, how our filters shape our reality, and how we can return to ourselves through presence, curiosity, and compassion.We talk about my recent meditation retreat, what it awakened in me, and how easily we can forget what we know to be true when life starts stacking up. Dawn also teaches a powerful tool — her NAIL IT framework — to stop the spiral before it takes over.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, alone, or like you’re supposed to “have it together,” this episode is for you.Follow Dawn McMillan on Instagram @TheDawnMcMillan Work with Dawn, Subscribe to her Substack, and much more HERE!If you love the podcast, I'd be so grateful if you left me a review!

Welcome back family!This episode is a little different — it’s not about data or symptoms or even solutions. It’s about reflection. I just returned from the Menopause Society Conference, and I have to tell you — it changed me.There were conversations that went beyond the science — about trauma, burnout, and the invisible weight women carry through midlife. About what it means to practice medicine in a system that doesn’t always see the whole woman. And about what happens when we finally start connecting the dots between hormones, health, and healing.So today, I’m taking you behind the scenes — into the rooms, the talks, and the quiet moments that reminded me why I do this work. This is what I took home from the Menopause Society Conference.Timestamped Topic Overview00:00 – 02:30 | Introduction: Returning from the Menopause Society Conference02:31 – 06:00 | The emotional undercurrent of menopause medicine — why it’s more than hormones06:01 – 10:15 | Conversations that shifted everything: trauma-informed care and compassion fatigue in clinicians10:16 – 14:00 | When science meets the soul — connecting data with humanity14:01 – 18:45 | Why menopause is not a diagnosis but a transition of identity18:46 – 22:00 | Reflections on burnout, balance, and rediscovering purpose22:01 – 26:30 | The sisterhood of medicine — community, empathy, and shared healing26:31 – 30:00 | What this means for women everywhere — redefining midlife wellnessIf you love the podcast, I'd be so grateful if you left me a review!

If you’ve been doing all the right things and that “meno belly” still won’t budge, this episode is for you.

We'll discuss groundbreaking NIH-funded studies, innovative therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and the crucial role of hormone therapy. We'll also delve into the personal motivations driving Dr. Mackey's research, including her feminist perspective, and how she balances her professional life with her own wellness practices.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of The Stay Juicy! Podcast! Today, we’re diving deep into the topic of low libido—a subject often wrapped in hushed tones and uncomfortable giggles. We'll be tackling what I call "libido stealers," common culprits that can rob many women, especially those in menopause, of their sexual desire. In this episode, I'll share my personal experiences along with real-life stories from women and patients who've navigated these very waters. From the stress that bogs us down, to the physical discomforts like vaginal dryness, we're leaving no stone unturned. We'll discuss medical solutions, from vaginal rejuvenation treatments to FDA-approved medications, and share practical tips for reclaiming your sexual health. Plus, we'll shed light on hormone therapy, address misconceptions about female sexual anatomy, and explore the powerful connection between mental relaxation and libido. It's time to normalize these conversations, challenge societal narratives, and empower ourselves with knowledge and action. Tune in, because your sexual well-being deserves attention, understanding, and—most importantly—celebration. Let's Stay Juicy!
