Screw "aging gracefully." Let's talk about aging POWERFULLY.

Welcome to the very first episode of Mani-Pause—where two women in wildly different stages of menopause say the quiet parts out loud.

Meet your hosts: Patricia 4/6 Emotional Manifestor (60, fully menopausal, navigating body changes that no one prepared her for) and Marina 4/6 Splenic Manifestor (47, riding the pre-menopause roller coaster while juggling business ownership, employment, and motherhood). Together, they're done with the sanitized, whisper-about-it-in-private version of midlife. This is real talk about transformation, power, and what happens when your body rewrites the rules, and you fully step into your power.

Here's what you need to know about this episode:

This isn't your typical "here are some tips for hot flashes" podcast. Patricia and Marina are here to dismantle the narrative that menopause is something to endure, survive, or—worse—hide. Instead, they're reclaiming it as a threshold into something MORE.

In this inaugural episode, you'll hear:

• Why "aging gracefully" is a trap (and what to embrace instead)
• Marina's raw truth about pre-menopause while wearing all the hats
• Patricia's journey through full menopause and redefining self-acceptance when your body feels like a stranger
• How midlife isn't an ending—it's a Manifestor initiation
• A sneak peek at what's coming: energy shifts, body wisdom, reclaiming visibility, workplace navigation, and holistic health that actually works

This podcast is for the Manifestor women who are DONE shrinking, second-guessing, and apologizing for taking up space.

Whether you're in the thick of perimenopause, fully menopausal, or supporting someone who is—this is your permission slip to stop suffering in silence and start stepping into your power.

Ready to pause the bullsh*t and start the real conversation? Hit play.
