🧡 My New York Times bestselling book How To Menopause → https://bit.ly/4loCIlp Hollywood told Halle Berry, talking about this would ruin her career. Doctors dismissed her pain. But Halle Berry refused to stay silent, and took her story all the way to Capitol Hill. In the premiere episode of The Tamsen Show, I sit down with Halle for a raw, powerful conversation about menopause, sex, and the fight for better care for women everywhere. She opens up like never before about how she discovered she was in menopause — not through a doctor, but through a shocking misdiagnosis — and how that moment changed everything. Halle isn’t just sharing her story. She’s offering solutions. If you’re in midlife, craving clarity, or just want to feel better in your body, this conversation is for you. We talk about:
  • The truth about menopause and why women deserve better support
  • How menopause nearly ended Halle’s relationship — and the reality of painful sex
  • How to reclaim your sex life with confidence and honesty
  • The biggest lesson Halle learned about advocating for her own body
  • Her daily health, beauty, and longevity habits — and what’s really working
  • The power of community and why no woman should go through this alone
She also shares her thoughts on love in midlife, releasing the pressure to be “forever 35,” and why menopause is more than a health issue — it’s a human rights issue. If Halle Berry couldn’t get answers about her own body, imagine how many other women are still being dismissed. Halle is the founder of Re-Spin, a women’s wellness and longevity platform, and an Academy Award-winning actress, director, entrepreneur, and fierce advocate for rewriting the menopause narrative.
