  • My go to resource on all things menopause

    Pleasure in the Pause is one of my top three podcasts to get informed about what’s happening to my body as I navigate peri/menopause. From sexual wellness, to body confidence in midlife to mindfulness and even how to regulate my nervous system, I look forward to hearing insights from Gabriella and her expert guests.
