UNFILTERED: Courageous Conversations about Menopause

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.

In the latest episode of the UNFILTERED Series, Daphna and Amy break down the myth that success has to start before sunrise.

Morning routines aren’t about checking off boxes.

They’re about anchoring yourself with what feels right for you. Whether it’s a cup of coffee in silence, a walk in nature, or journaling at lunch, the key is to find moments that support your well-being. Together, they share honest stories, practical ideas, and simple ways to create routines that leave you feeling grounded, not pressured.
