Menopause doesn’t just change your hormones. It changes your relationship with your body, desire, and voice.

In this intimate episode of The Unscripted Woman, Kelly opens a necessary conversation about menopause, sexual wellness, and the quiet identity shifts women experience during this transition - the ones no one prepares you for.

This episode explores:

• How menopause impacts libido, pleasure, and body confidence
• Why so many women feel disconnected from desire during midlife
• The emotional and energetic side of sexual wellness
• How shame, silence, and outdated narratives affect women’s intimacy
• Reclaiming self-trust, sovereignty, and desire after your body changes

This isn’t about “fixing” yourself.

It’s about understanding what’s happening in your body — and choosing to reconnect with it, on your terms.

If you’re navigating menopause, perimenopause, or questioning your relationship with intimacy, sexuality, or pleasure, this conversation will help you feel seen, informed, and far less alone.

✨ Because sexual wellness doesn’t end at midlife. It evolves.

Dr. Kelly Barron, founder of Tempesta and Dr. Kellfire, is redefining what it means to thrive as a woman in midlife. Her journey is forged in fire. Surviving a violent assault, Dr. Barron rose stronger, channeling her pain into purpose. From breaking world records in powerlifting to competing on American Ninja Warrior and fighting in MMA, she’s rewriting the rules of menopause and women's sexuality with bold, unapologetic care.

As a chiropractor, licensed acupuncturist, Certified Menopause Specialist, and Sexual Health Alliance Coaching Candidate, Dr. Barron fuses cutting-edge science with alternative healthcare to create real, transformative results.

Her mission: Empower women to own their bodies, break the mold, and unleash their fire.

[CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of school shootings, childhood trauma, grief, loss, and anxiety that some listeners may find distressing.]

In this powerful and heartbreaking conversation, we speak with a Child and Youth Therapist practicing in Colorado's Columbine district—where America's understanding of school violence began, and where it continues today.

Specializing in grief and anxiety, she shares what it's really like in her therapy office: children who are terrified to attend school, not because of typical childhood fears, but because they genuinely believe they might die. Kids processing profound loss while simultaneously living in fear. Parents desperate for reassurance she cannot give. The impossible position of validating fears that are, tragically, grounded in reality.

This isn't a conversation about solutions or silver linings—it's an unflinching look at how school shooting anxiety and childhood grief are shaping an entire generation of American children, told by someone witnessing it firsthand.

Topics covered:

• The psychological impact of school shooting drills and threats
• How children process grief, loss, and ongoing trauma
• Working with anxiety rooted in legitimate danger
• The intersection of grief and fear in children's mental health
• The mental health crisis in communities affected by school violence
• What parents and educators need to understand

Relevant for: parents, educators, mental health professionals, grief counselors, policy advocates, anyone seeking to understand the real-world impact of gun violence and loss on children's mental health.

Stacy Schaffer, MA, LPC, is a dedicated children’s therapist in Arvada, Colorado, has more than twenty years of experience.

Specializing in grief and anxiety, she creates a safe space for healing. She loves surfing, kickboxing, reading, quality time with friends

and her golden retriever/therapy dog Willow. With Love from a Children's Therapist is her first book, and she hopes people feel both seen and heard in the pages.
