Menopause & Loss: What We Leave Behind, What We Reclaim

Not broken glass.  A touch of class. Menopause is often reduced to surface symptoms: hot flushes, sleepless nights, fluctuating moods. But beneath the biology lies something quieter, deeper—a shedding.  Not just of hormones, but of identity, rhythm, and roles.   This episode is not about symptoms. It’s about the soul of change. The grief that goes unnamed. The mental loss uncaptured by sight.  Lisa M. Vasquez speaks to the woman who feels invisible, unmoored, and emotionally volatile. The one mourning years of youth and dedication. The dynamic beauty now standing in the liminal space between who she was and who she is becoming.  This is for the woman who asks, “Do they know I’ve changed?” Who feels the ache of reinvention in her bones. Who is not broken glass—but a brilliance beginning to sparkle.  Menopause is not the end. It’s the radical renewal beneath the silence. It’s the invitation to meet your true self—with compassion, clarity, and power.
