Life After 40, Reimagined.

Menopause: Pleased to Meet You

Menopause: Pleased to Meet You was created to broaden the conversation about women’s lives after 40. While menopause is an important part of that journey, it is only one chapter of a much bigger story.

The podcast explores the many dimensions of midlife, bringing together science, health, longevity, culture, fashion, career, relationships, entrepreneurship, behavior and inspiring personal stories. Every episode invites new perspectives that reflect the complexity, diversity and possibilities of this stage of life.

Our Story

The podcast was born from founder Izadora Guimarães’ personal journey after experiencing the consequences of an incorrect hormone prescription. What began as a search for answers soon became something much bigger: a commitment to creating a trusted space where women could access reliable information, meaningful conversations and diverse perspectives.

But the vision went beyond the conversations themselves.

Rather than building a traditional podcast studio, Izadora transformed the veranda of her own home into a bright, vintage-inspired setting where guests are welcomed as they would be by friends. Filled with natural light, personal memories and carefully chosen objects, the space reflects the very essence of the podcast: authentic conversations in a place that feels like home.

Today, Menopause: Pleased to Meet You has evolved into an international platform that connects experts, researchers, professionals and remarkable voices from different countries, always with one purpose: helping reshape the way the world sees women after 40.

Vintage Soul. Modern Perspective.

What Makes Us Different

Every element of the podcast was designed to encourage genuine conversations.

Recorded in a vintage-inspired home setting rather than a conventional studio, each episode reflects an atmosphere of warmth, hospitality and authenticity. The blue sky visible during daytime recordings, the vintage turntable, the retro refrigerator, the iconic Billie Holiday record brought from Denmark and the carefully curated décor are not simply aesthetic choices. They tell the story behind the project and create an environment where guests feel comfortable sharing their knowledge and experiences.

Our conversations bring together medicine, science, lifestyle, fashion, nutrition, fitness, psychology, entrepreneurship, relationships, culture and human stories, creating a richer and more authentic perspective on midlife.
