Summary
In this episode of Transforming 45, Lisa speaks with Jesse Robertson, founder of Husbands for Menopause, about what happens when men finally begin to understand the realities of perimenopause and menopause. Jesse shares how one podcast flipped a switch for him and led him to advocate for compassion, education, and relationship-preserving conversations between partners. This discussion explores identity shifts, intimacy changes, emotional intelligence, and why menopause is not just a women’s issue — it’s a relationship and workplace issue too. In this episode we discuss: Why most men are never educated about menopause The impact of symptoms on intimacy, confidence, and identity The “Decade of Chaos” — career peak, caregiving, empty nesting, and hormone shifts Feelings vs. actions in communication How empathy can strengthen marriages What children learn when menopause is openly discussed Why systemic change must happen in medicine and the workplace Memorable takeaways: “You don’t need to be an expert — you need to care.” “Menopause doesn’t happen in a vacuum.” “Move from talking about actions to talking about feelings.” “Compassion changes marriages.” “It’s like learning a new operating system.” Connect with Jesse Robertson: Husbands for Menopause Instagram / TikTok / YouTube: @husbandsformenopause Free Husband’s Guide - https://stan.store/husbands4menopause Connect with Lisa: Website: https://www.liberatedmenopause.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lboate Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/leaninfindyourwayhome/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/245092311417467 Email: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
