What happens when menopause, heartbreak and a crisis of identity collide and the life you thought you were living suddenly disappears? In this episode of The Resilience Movement Podcast, Donna Moulds sits down with physiotherapist, pelvic and sexual health educator and author Lisa Fitzpatrick for a candid conversation about menopause, desire, relationships, ageing and rebuilding your sense of self. Lisa shares the deeply personal experience of her fiancé ending their nine-year relationship by text while she was already navigating the physical and emotional changes of menopause. It left her questioning far more than the relationship. Who was she now? Was she still desirable? What did ageing mean? And how do you rebuild when the version of your future you believed in suddenly no longer exists? Lisa takes us into the messy middle of that experience from feeling invisible and undesirable to travelling alone through Laos for five weeks and beginning to rediscover her own worth, independence and appetite for life. Drawing on more than three decades of professional experience in pelvic and sexual health, Lisa also challenges some of the narratives women have been taught about menopause, ageing and sexuality. Together, Donna and Lisa explore why menopause can be more than a collection of symptoms to manage. It can also become a threshold into greater authenticity, confidence, pleasure and personal power. In this conversation, you'll hear about: Rebuilding identity after heartbreak and major life transition Menopause, ageing and the fear of becoming invisible Why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to navigating menopause Sexual health, intimacy and changing desire in midlife The conversations couples need to have as their bodies and relationships change Radical self-care and learning to listen to your body Why desire doesn't have an expiry date How an ending can become the beginning of an entirely different chapter Lisa is the author of Sexy Menopause: The New Science and Soul of Midlife Desire, launching 27 October 2026. Her message is powerful: Menopause doesn't have to mark the beginning of your decline. It can become an invitation to meet the most authentic version of yourself yet. Whether you're navigating menopause yourself, supporting someone who is, rebuilding after a relationship ends, or simply standing at the edge of a new chapter in your life, this conversation is about what becomes possible when you stop treating change as the end of your story.
