This is What Menopause Looks Like: Stories with Author Lidia Yuknavitch
Episode 239
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
Storytelling has the power to transform how we understand our bodies and our lives. On this week’s episode, we welcome Lidia Yuknavitch, acclaimed author and editor of the new book The Big M: 13 Writers Take Back the Story of Menopause, for a bold conversation about reclaiming menopause through personal storytelling. Lidia brings together 13 raw, insightful, and deeply personal stories that challenge stigma, dismantle shame, and reframe menopause as a powerful life transition rather than something to be hidden. We explore how menopause is experienced across different cultures, the unexpected clarity and creativity that can emerge as hormones shift, and how women are redefining this phase of life on their own terms. This episode dives into menopause, women’s health, aging, creativity, and identity, offering a refreshing, honest look at what happens when women take back the narrative—and discover new freedom on the other side.
