  • The Year of Menopause Session 2: Cultural Manifestations of Menopause
    2025/04/01

    The Year of Menopause returns with Dr. Toni Otway as she joins the Besties to explore different cultural ideologies of menopause.

    • Western societies often frame menopause as women being "put out to pasture" after serving their reproductive purpose

    • Many cultures including the Japanese, African, and Mayan societies celebrate menopause as a time for gaining wisdom and elevated social status

    • Medical training historically provided minimal education about menopause, focusing only on biological aspects

    • Western medicalization often creates anxiety that may worsen menopausal symptoms compared to cultures that embrace the transition

    • The Year of Menopause series will continue breaking down menopause topics throughout 2025

    2025/03/25

    Being a physician is Leslie’s calling; a gifting.

    In this episode, she recounts a whirlwind weekend trip where she visited a recovering friend, and was reminded of a time years ago when she saved a friend’s life through medical intervention and advocacy.

    Angella and Leslie emphasize the importance of knowing your gifts and using them to help others.

    The conversation highlights the critical need for medical self-advocacy, especially for Black patients
