#95 - Breaking the Silence, Rewriting the Script and Honoring the Truth of Thriving Through Menopause with Lillian Browning
Feeling like midlife is supposed to be a slow decline instead of a powerful beginning? This conversation says otherwise.
In this episode of The Charyse Williams Show, Charyse talks with women’s health nurse practitioner Lillian Browning to reframe menopause and post-menopause as a sacred, empowered season, especially for Black women and high-achieving professionals. Lillian breaks down what happens after the “12 months without a period” mark, how to distinguish perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, and why many women feel unseen once the hot flashes stop.
You’ll hear real stories about saying “Good morning, gorgeous,” naming and healing the “weathering” Black women carry, and using practices like meditation, movement, community, and travel to release stress and reclaim joy. Lillian also explains why you’re never “too old,” how to set aligned goals in midlife, and why self-love, forgiveness, and boundaries are essential for aging with power and purpose.
