  • Summary

  • Menopause has long been tabooed and shrouded in secrecy, leaving many ashamed and embarrassed about seeking and extending support for one of the most natural transitions and rite of passage. Well, that's changed, and we're surrendering to curiosity, knowledge, and empowerment. This is for you if you are one of the millions of people in the menopausal phase or want to support them. I'll peek into the lives of people experiencing menopause and tap into experts for their take on the pausal phase. Pull up a seat or curl up on your fave resting spot. Plug in your earphones or pump up the volume on your speaker. I’m Dixie Lincoln-Nichols, Health, and well-being educator and beauty/wellness founder. This is THE PAUSE POD.

  • The Butterfly Effect: Transforming Your Perimenopausal Experience
    Jan 29 2025

    In this episode of The Pause Pod, I delve into the often-overlooked topic of perimenopause with guests EJ Kim and Marina Pen, founders of NNABI.

    EJ shares her struggles with PCOS and the confusion surrounding her perimenopausal journey, while Marina discusses her experiences with endometriosis.

    Both highlight the lack of information and support for women in the perimenopausal phase, which was the impetus for their brand, NNABI, which offers education and natural supplements tailored to perimenopausal women.

    The conversation also emphasizes the importance of self-care, community support, and the need for more research and resources to empower women during this transitional period.

    Pull up and tune in.

    In the midst of perimenopause herself, she shares her expertise on managing menopause symptoms and empowering women through holistic care.

    Dr. Potter-McQuilkin explains common and lesser-known symptoms, the role of lifestyle and genetics, and the benefits of both hormonal and non-hormonal treatments.

    We also talk about the need for community support, particularly for Black women who experience more severe, longer-lasting symptoms due to the allostatic load.

    The episode is a must listen that encourages women to seek specialized care and not to suffer in silence.
