S4 Ep 168What If Menopause Is Liberation? With Lasara Firefox Allen

E

What This Episode Is About Menopause is often reduced to symptoms—but what if it’s actually a profound identity shift? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Lasara Firefox Allen to explore menopause through a wider lens—one that includes gender identity, power structures, and the deeply personal experience of transformation. This conversation opens up new ways of understanding menopause as not just a biological event, but a life transition that impacts who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we move through the world. What You’ll Learn Why menopause is more than a physical experience How identity shifts during perimenopause and menopause The connection between menopause and gender-affirming care How medical systems fail many people in menopause Why language and diagnosis models don’t fully capture this transition How menopause can be a pathway to liberation About Lasara Firefox Allen Lasara Firefox Allen is an author, menopause doula, educator, and speaker focused on expanding inclusive menopause care. Their work centers on supporting trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive individuals through menopause, while also educating care providers to create more affirming and accessible systems.
