Anna Dannfelt - Menopause Is Not a Disease, it's a Transformation

Season #3

🎙️ Episode Title:
Menopause Is Not a Disease—It’s a Rite of Passage

🪷 Episode Summary:
In this fierce and freeing conversation, Keri is joined by veteran aromatherapist, coach, and wise woman Anna Denfeld to reclaim menopause as the sacred transformation it truly is. Together they dismantle toxic cultural narratives that treat menopause as a disease or a decline and instead frame it as a chrysalis moment—a profound shift into power, clarity, and elderhood. This episode is a call to arms (and hearts) for any woman who's tired of shrinking and ready to rise.

👤 About Anna Denfeld:

Post-menopause herself, Anna works with women to shift the narrative around aging—from fear and shame to strength and sovereignty. Her work weaves body wisdom, spiritual insight, and cultural critique into a grounded and liberating approach to transformation.
