Episode 7:
Second Spring: Reclaiming Menopause and Perimenopause
with Dr. Tamsin Lee, Daoist Metaphysical Expert, East Asian Medicine Doctor, Public Health Researcher, and Teaching Artist
What if menopause isn't an ending but a second beginning?
Dr. Tamsin Lee introduces the foundations of East Asian Medicine and reclaims midlife and menopause as powerful transitions rather than problems to fix. Through concepts like yin and yang, seasonal living, and embodied rest, the conversation invites women to trust their bodies, honor change, and redefine aging on their own terms.
This episode is for women ready to step out of exhaustion and self-doubt and into a deeper sense of wisdom, vitality, and self-authority.
