The Pause Private Podcast

A private podcast for the woman who feels like she's unraveling

You’re not crazy.

You’re not broken.

You’re in perimenopause.

Welcome to The Pause — a private, invitation-only podcast for high-achieving women quietly struggling with sudden anxiety, sleepless nights, forgotten words, aching joints, and a deep, unshakable fear that they’re no longer who they used to be.

You’ve probably told yourself:

“It’s just stress.”

“Maybe I need more magnesium.”

“I just need to push through.”

But what if none of that is true?

What if your body isn't betraying you…

What if it's asking you to come home?

A quiet companion for the season no one prepared you for.

In each short, soulful episode, I walk beside you through the real symptoms, silent identity shifts, and sacred rage that come with perimenopause and menopause.

It’s a private experience — just you and me, in your ears, each week.

No pressure. No perfection. No more pretending you’re fine.

We love to give Birthday gifts. If you love to receive them pop your birthday day and month below and we will send you something special.

HOSTED BY

Zapheria Bell

Perimenopause advocate, speaker, and creator of the Five Passages of Menopause™

After my own unexpected crash into perimenopause left me sobbing on the bathroom floor, I made it my mission to create the support I wish I had — wise, grounded, and deeply kind.

This podcast is part science, part soul — and 100% free from shame.
