Navigating menopause as a Latina woman often means facing it alone—without adequate information, representation, or community support. On this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriela Espinosa sits down with Emmy-winning journalist and entrepreneur Gaby Natale to discuss how she's revolutionizing menopause education for Latinas through her groundbreaking bilingual platform, Menopausia.com.

Whether you're struggling with medically-induced menopause after breast cancer treatment, searching for reliable information in Spanish, or simply tired of outdated depictions of midlife women, this conversation offers validation, solutions, and a roadmap for reclaiming your power during this transformative life stage. Gaby shares her journey from breast cancer survivor to menopause advocate, revealing why Latinas experience longer transitions and how breaking the silence can literally save lives.

Highlights from our discussion include:

• Stop waiting for permission or copying what others do. Real transformation happens when you trust your own vision before the world validates it.
• The menopause transition lasts approximately two years longer for Latina women, with the average age being 48 instead of 51. 
• Women in the US typically see 4-5 different doctors before finding adequate menopause solutions.
• Gaby's "Virtuous Circle" model identifies seven archetypes that drive successful transformation.
• The depressing, outdated imagery typically used to portray menopausal women perpetuates shame and invisibility.

Menopause doesn't have to be navigated in isolation or shame. By sharing our stories, breaking cultural silence, and accessing reliable bilingual resources, we can ensure the next generation of women enters this transition with knowledge, community, and confidence.
