About this episode
Dani Katz and Bett Williams discuss navigating menopause without hormone replacement therapy and challenge cultural narratives surrounding women's health.
What happens when you opt out of the standard Western medical menopause playbook? In this episode, Dani sits down with author and babealicious badass Bett Williams to explore her experience navigating menopause without hormone replacement therapy—or the usual medical interventions. Together, they unpack the cultural narratives shaping menopause, the pressure to conform to prescribed solutions, and what it looks like to trust your body through a major physiological transition. This is a conversation about autonomy, language, conditioning, and the unseen forces influencing how women navigate their own health and well-being as they are authentically guided, instead of plugging into a for-profit formula that tries to convince us we need the medicate our milestones. Not a prescription. Not a protocol. An expansion of the conversation.
