Podcast: Please Me! Podcast with Eve
Published On: Wed Jan 15 2025
Description: In this episode of the Please Me Podcast, Eve sits down with Davida Elizabeth Arnold, founder of We The Aunties, for a powerful and uplifting conversation about menopause, community, and reclaiming joy through every stage of hormonal change. Davida shares how a life-altering experience inspired her to create We The Aunties, a wellness collective dedicated to supporting underrepresented menopausal women through education, programming, and joy-led experiences. Her mission is to reframe menopause as a continuum of transformation rather than a decline. Together, Eve and Davida break down perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, exploring common symptoms like brain fog, bone loss, mood shifts, and changes in libido. They also discuss practical strategies for navigating these changes with more ease, awareness, and support. The conversation explores hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including its benefits, common misconceptions, and the importance of advocacy when seeking care. Davida emphasizes how crucial it is for women to feel informed and empowered when making decisions about their health. At the heart of this episode is the importance of community, joy, and sexual wellbeing—highlighted through initiatives like We The Aunties’ MooMoo parties, which create safe, celebratory spaces for women to reconnect with themselves and each other. This episode is a reminder that menopause is not an ending, but an evolution—one that can be filled with confidence, pleasure, and connection.
