⟢ S*x in Menopause is officially available to watch FREE from September 9-15.

“If you have a doctor that is not working with you, run. Don’t walk. Run.”

Joan knew something wasn’t right. In her late 30s, she was bleeding every two weeks and could hardly leave the house. But no one was saying, “Hey, this needs a closer look.”

Eventually, she learned she had uterine fibroids.

As Dr. Somi Javaid points out, Joan’s experience is far from rare. Fibroids can cause heavy bleeding and pain during s*x, yet women are still too often told these symptoms are just something they have to live with.

You know when your body is telling you something. If you’re not being heard, you’re allowed to find someone who will listen.

𖤓 Visit commune.to/s*xinmenopause to watch S*x in Menopause free now through September 15 and hear real stories from women alongside the doctors helping us understand what our bodies are actually telling us.

In partnership with Stripes Beauty.

Featuring leading voices in women's health:
⟢ Naomi Watts — Actor, entrepreneur, and founder of Stripes Beauty
⟢ Dr. Somi Javaid — Board-certified OB-GYN & founder of HerMD
⟢ Dr. Cindy Meston — Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin
⟢ Emily Morse — S*x educator, author, and host of S*x with Emily
⟢ Gabby Bernstein — #1 New York Times bestselling author and spiritual teacher
⟢ Schuyler Grant — Co-founder of Luminescence and yoga instructor

Frozen shoulder disproportionately affects women in midlife, but somehow that little detail didn’t make it into the perimenopause brochure.

The Luminescence women’s health event is back in LA.

This is a gathering for women who are done figuring out their health alone.

Done piecing together answers from Google searches.
Done leaving appointments with more questions than you walked in with.
Done feeling dismissed when you know something isn’t right.
Done accepting exhaustion as the cost of being a woman.

On October 17, Luminescence returns to Los Angeles for a full day devoted to women’s health in all its depth and complexity.

Hear from some of the leading voices in women’s health, longevity, mental health, strength, and hormone science and leave with answers that can change the way you care for yourself for years to come.

Discover what’s actually happening to your body, what to do about it, and what the next chapter of your life can look like when you finally have the right information, whether you’re 32 or 62.

Why is it so much easier to make time for everyone else than it is for ourselves?

Women have spent years believing everyone deserves their care except them. But you don’t get a medal for running on empty.

You don’t have to wait until you’re burned out, overwhelmed, or completely exhausted to take care of yourself.

You’re allowed to feel good before you hit your breaking point.

Families and communities with elder women tend to fare better.

Scientists believe that’s one of the reasons humans evolved to live decades beyond our reproductive years.

Menopause wasn’t a biological mistake. It gave women the opportunity to become caregivers, teachers, leaders, and keepers of knowledge for future generations.

Your most valuable years were never meant to end with fertility.

𖤓 Visit commune.to/lum-pod to hear the full conversation on the surprising evolutionary purpose of menopause.

Does menopause make you “less caring,” or does it just make you harder to guilt?

There’s a difference.

The hormonal shifts of midlife don’t erase your empathy. But they can quiet that constant pull to put everyone else’s needs before your own.

𖤓 Click commune.to/lum-pod to hear the full conversation on oxytocin, boundaries, and why menopause changes more than your body.

Sometimes the biggest shift in midlife is your standards.

The older you get, the harder it becomes to convince yourself that “good enough” is enough.

The things you used to brush off become harder to ignore. The compromises you’ve been making start to feel heavier. And the question quietly changes from “Can I live with this?” to “Do I even want to?”

That’s one reason we’re seeing more gray divorce. This is when couples choose to end a marriage later in life.

In fact, research has found that around two-thirds of gray divorces are initiated by women.

Women are looking at the years ahead and asking whether this is really how they want to spend them. Because it’s never too late to start building a life that feels like your own.

𖤓 Click commune.to/lum-pod to hear the full conversation on gray divorce, emotional labor, and finding freedom in midlife.

There's a difference between being informed and being consumed.

A lot of us know exactly what that feels like.

You check the news to stay informed. Thirty minutes later you're anxious, angry, overwhelmed, and somehow still scrolling.

This conversation explores why that happens, why our brains get hooked on that cycle, and why it can feel even more intense during menopause.

Ever feel like alcohol just doesn’t hit the way it used to?

You’re not imagining it.

As hormones shift during midlife, the brain’s reward and mood systems change too. The glass of wine that once helped you unwind may leave you feeling more anxious, more depleted, or reaching for another.

In this conversation, our panel explores why alcohol affects women differently in midlife and what your brain has to do with it.

𖤓 Visit commune.to/lum-pod to hear the full conversation on alcohol, dopamine, serotonin, and why drinking can feel so different after 40.
