Hollywood said this would be a career ender. Doctors dismissed her. But Halle Berry refused to be silenced and made sure the world heard her voice on Capitol Hill.
In the premiere episode of The Tamsen Show, Halle opens up like never before about the shocking way she learned she was in menopause, why women have been misled by the medical community, and how she’s fighting to change the narrative around aging and women’s health for good.
Halle Berry is the founder of the women’s longevity and wellness platform Re-spin, an Academy Award-winning actress, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and advocate leading a new conversation around menopause and culture.
She gets real about finding love in later life, letting go of the pressure to be forever 35, and why menopause is a basic human rights issue. If Halle Berry couldn’t find answers about her own body, it’s no wonder millions of women are struggling too.
Halle is giving us solutions. If you want to thrive in your second act, listen now to learn:
• The truth about menopause and why women deserve better
• How menopause almost ruined Halle’s relationship and the harsh reality of painful sex
• How to take control of your sex life with confidence
• The most important lesson Halle learned about advocating for her own body
• What Halle Berry does to look and feel her best in menopause, including her go-to health, beauty, and longevity secrets
• The power of community and how to feel less alone
