You know the deal. Around here, we are geniuses about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. One way to do that is by finding a genius about something that matters to you when you do not know where to start. I have noticed a significant uptick in questions about paraminopause and our delightful lazy genius Facebook group. And for good reason, we all have bodies and we want to feel at home in them, even when they start to change in ways we do not fully understand. That's why I think you will love the brand new podcast Unpaused with Dr. Mary Claire Haver. Now, if her name sounds familiar, it's probably because Dr. Haver is the brilliant no-nonsense menopause expert who's been helping women take back their health and stop apologizing for the changes their bodies go through.

She's a board certified OBGYN, bestselling author, and a woman who's leading a long overdue conversation about midlife health. Unpaused is all about breaking the stigma, debunking the myths, and finally talking about what happens to our bodies, physically, mentally, and emotionally, as we navigate each new season of life. Every episode is like sitting down with a smart, trusted friend who also happens to be a board certified OBGYN and total champion for women's health. Dr. Haber talks with experts, shares real stories, and gives you information and tools so you can trust your own body.

And before you think, oh, no, that's not for me yet. Trust me, this is the kind of conversation every woman deserves to hear. It's honest, empowering, and practical.

I'm a board certified obstetrician gynecologist and certified menopause practitioner. And I'm so excited to tell you about my new podcast, Unpaused.

What I hear from women every day is they want more for themselves. Yet here's the reality. As women, we've been expected to. serve and fade. We were raised to believe that our values lie in how much we give, how quiet we stay, and how well we put everyone else's needs before our own. And then, when we hit midlife, the world looks away. But women are waking up, and they're saying hell no. That's why I'm bringing you unpaused. This is not just another women's health podcast. It is a place to have bold, unfiltered conversations about what it really takes for women to thrive in the second half of life.

We'll be talking about everything that matters. Your hormones, yes, but also your identity, your financial power, your relationships, and the tools you need to build the life you want. Our guests include medical experts, celebrities, and powerhouse women living these experiences every day. Unpaused is about reclaiming our health span. Not just the number of years we live, but the number of years we live well. I created Unpaused because I have a vision for something better. And I know I'm not alone.
