August 22, 2026·31m

What happens when menopause doesn’t create the crisis, but exposes everything your mind and body have spent decades carrying? Lisa Lacy, writer and host of Notes From the Edge, explores how surgical menopause collided with a lifetime of trauma, recovery, psychiatric diagnoses, chronic illness and survival. After having her ovaries unexpectedly removed at 45, Lisa experienced rage, panic, depression, insomnia, brain fog and an unsettling loss of identity.
