Ep. 43: Media, Misinformation, Menopause Pt. 2: Living Stronger, Longer, and Fearlessly with special guest Melissa Grelo

In Part 2 of this thought-provoking conversation, Melissa Grelo returns to explore why aging powerfully isn’t just a personal choice—it’s a cultural rebellion. We dive into comparison culture, the patriarchy’s influence on women’s self-worth, and how society has conditioned generations of women to shrink themselves—physically, emotionally, and vocally.

Melissa and Suzanne share raw reflections on raising strong daughters, rejecting the pressure to age “gracefully,” and instead embracing strength, visibility, and confidence at every age. From the harmful messaging of “there can only be one” to the overhyped menopause supplement industry and the new wave of hormone therapy discourse—nothing is off-limits.

We also tackle strength training myths, the rise of women reclaiming space in the gym, and the critical mindset shift from body as ornament to body as instrument.

This episode is a rallying cry to stop shrinking and start shouting—for ourselves, our daughters, and the generations to come.
