What the Pause?! – A Podcast for ALL !!!!

Amalia, a proud Gen X’er raising two teenage daughters, doesn’t hold back. With a no-nonsense attitude, she dives into the unfiltered reality of menopause. Her passion for this topic began 25 years ago while helping her mother through the transition, and now, at 54, she’s sharing her own journey—despite not having hit menopause yet!
