Mindfully Disruptive is the podcast for the woman who has outgrown the life she built — and is finally ready to build the one that she has been craving. If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, How did I get here… and why doesn’t my life fit anymore? Who am I now? Why does everything feel different? — pull up a chair, friend. You’re in the right place. This show is for women moving through midlife — and yes, through perimenopause and menopause — as the initiation it truly is. Not as an ending; as a remembering - a return - a becoming. Together, we explore the exhaustion beneath the exhaustion: the draining of your energy, the control used in order to feel safe, the ways we continually hand our power away, and the ancestral burdens we continue to carry rent-free in our minds, hearts, and bodies. Through tools like Human Design, Gene Keys, creative art practices, ancestral medicine, divination, and shamanic wisdom, we explore what it means to reclaim your energy, your identity, and your self-leadership. On your own terms. In your own timing. In your own design. Each week, we dive into Human Design and Gene Keys teachings that…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T06:19:41.522307+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mindfully-disruptive-7092517"},"episode":{"title":"S4: Episode 59-The Mani-Pause:When Menopause Isn't a Choice: Ana Roxana's Journey Through Medical Menopause and Reclaiming Power","slug":"s4-episode-59-the-mani-pause-when-menopause-isn-t-a-choice-ana-roxana-s-journey-through-medical-menopause-and-reclaiming-power","published_at":"2026-01-19T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mindfully-disruptive-7092517/s4-episode-59-the-mani-pause-when-menopause-isn-t-a-choice-ana-roxana-s-journey-through-medical-menopause-and-reclaiming-power","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mindfully-disruptive-7092517","url":"https://mindfullydisruptivethepodcast.transistor.fm/59","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/6e62d6f3/4e1522be.mp3","summary":"When Menopause Isn't a Choice: Ana Roxana's Journey Through Medical Menopause and Reclaiming Power Some women enter menopause gradually. Anna Roxana Lia Chaga was thrust into it—medically induced at a young age during breast cancer treatment. In this raw and powerful ManiPause conversation, Patricia and Marina welcome Ana Roxana—power systems engineer, artist, holistic practitioner, and Splenic Manifestor—for a deeply personal dialogue about navigating menopause when it's not on your timeline, not your choice, and compounded by cancer treatment. Ana shares what most people don't talk about: the brutal reality of anti-hormonal therapy side effects, the loss of identity and sexuality, the fear that comes with a cancer diagnosis, and the long journey back to reclaiming your body, your power, and your sexual health. This conversation goes deep: • Medically-induced menopause during breast cancer treatment (and how it's different from natural menopause) • Managing severe side effects from anti-hormonal therapy while trying to live your life • The grief of losing your body's natural rhythm before you were ready • Navigating perimenopause AFTER medical menopause (yes, that's a thing) • Embracing her identity as a Splenic Manifestor and what that means for healing • Reclaiming sexual health when your body has been through trauma • The Breast Cancer Confidence Project and supporting women through the journey • Holistic practices that supported her healing beyond Western medicine • Trusting yourself and not letting fear dictate your decisions Ana's message is clear: Don't let fear run your life. Trust yourself. Whether you've been through medical menopause, natural menopause, cancer treatment, or are supporting someone who has—this conversation will remind you that reclaiming you…","meta_description":"When Menopause Isn't a Choice: Ana Roxana's Journey Through Medical Menopause and Reclaiming Power Some women enter menopause gradually.
