Is it hot in here, or is it… Menopause?

In this powerful episode of UNFILTERED, Daphna and Amy crack open one of the most misunderstood and under-discussed life transitions: menopause. From brain fog to emotional turbulence, night sweats to shifting identities, they share their raw, personal experiences and invite you into a conversation that too often happens in whispers, or not at all.

This isn’t about medical jargon or “grin and bear it” advice. It’s about real talk: how menopause shows up in our bodies, our moods, our relationships, and our work and why it’s time we stop pretending it doesn’t exist.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your symptoms, invisible in the workplace, or unsure of what’s “normal,” this episode is for you.

Let’s break the silence and make space for truth, humour, and healing.
