In today's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes the extraordinary Satori Shakoor—a master storyteller, former member of Parliament-Funkadelic (P-Funk), and social entrepreneur. Satori brings her unparalleled experience as a performer and community architect to a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of the unspoken chapters in women's lives. They delve into her powerful stand-up, storytelling, concert film - Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale, which serves as a raw and revelatory roadmap through perimenopause, postpartum depression, and the societal silences that surround them.

This discussion pulls back the curtain on the isolation many women face during hormonal transitions, challenging the stigma and silence that too often surround women's health. Satori explains her mission to create a resource she never had, offering raw honesty about the challenges of midlife in order to forge connection and understanding. Listen as they explore the powerful link between storytelling and healing, the unexpected freedom found on the other side of menopause, and why owning every part of our narrative is the ultimate act of empowerment. This episode is a masterclass in turning personal truth into a gift for others.
