Las latinas llegamos a la menopausia dos años antes que la media nacional y, aun así, casi nadie habla de esto en nuestras comunidades. ¡Nosotras no teníamos ni idea! En este episodio, Cristy Marrero y Ana Flores hablan con Gaby Natale, de menopausia.com, sobre todo lo que nuestras madres y abuelas se callaron durante su midlife. Y el porqué es tan importante que ese silencio (y cualquier tabú) termine con nuestra generación.

Gaby es periodista independiente, ganadora de tres premios Emmy. Sobrevivió al cáncer de seno y entró en la menopausia inducida médicamente a los 46 años, justo en medio de su mejor año profesional. Al buscar información en español, encontró casi nada. Por eso creó menopausia.com, la primera plataforma digital bilingüe dedicada a la educación y la comunidad sobre esta etapa para mujeres latinas.

En este episodio hablamos (¡sin filtro!) sobre:

* Qué es la perimenopausia y por qué empieza antes de los 40

* Cómo cambia la vida sexual y afecta la salud mental

* Por qué los médicos desconocen muchos síntomas

* El diálogo interno que transformó a Gaby durante su tratamiento

* La app con IA que está ayudando a mujeres en menopausia

* Por qué decir tu edad en voz alta es el primer acto de revolución

Si tu mamá nunca habló de esto, si sientes que algo cambió en tu cuerpo y en cómo te sientes, pero no sabes qué es, este episodio es para ti.

María Hinojosa was the first Latina hired at NPR. She built a media empire from scratch in Harlem. She won a Pulitzer Prize. And now, she’s at the peak of Her Wisdom Era and ready to show us what she’s made of.

In this episode, Ana and Cristy share the mic with the OG. They sit down with the iconic journalist, author, professor, and founder of Futuro Media Group to talk about what it truly means to be visible as a Latina. María has spent nearly 40 years walking into rooms where no one expected her to stay and changing the entire conversation, while telling everyone’s stories. But behind the awards, the titles, and the public persona is a woman who grew up feeling invisible, battled deep insecurity, and had to learn how to own her story without losing herself in it.

This conversation is for every woman who has been the first, the only one, and is ready to keep shining in midlife.

Someone asks you how you’re doing, and you say “fine” because the real answer would take forty-five minutes and a bottle of wine. That is exactly why we made this podcast.

We are Cristy Marrero and Ana Flores, and this is the first episode of Her Wisdom Era, a podcast for Latinas in midlife who are ready to start becoming.

In this episode, we go all the way in. Ana tells the story of the moment she found herself on a cold floor in Oaxaca, feverish, sobbing, her body finally giving out after years of holding together a company she built for other women while she was disappearing inside it. She sold it. And then she had to face something she wasn’t prepared for: losing her entire identity. Cristy talks about the woman she spent decades performing, the perfect editor, the one who made it in NYC and therefore owed something to everyone who sacrificed so she could be here, and the moment she realized her job was never fully her calling.

We talk about what midlife actually means when nobody in your culture gave you language for this season, why we left girlboss and hustle culture behind, the toxic standard that had us carrying everything while making it look like nothing, and what happens when you finally stop shrinking and start choosing yourself.

This conversation is the one we’ve been looking for and couldn’t find anywhere, so we built it. In two languages, because that’s how we think. With all the humor, the honesty, and the imperfections of being a Latina in her forties, fifties, or sixties.

If something in you says, “YES, I know what they mean!” this episode is already yours.
