However, years of being looked at—but not listened to—took their toll, whittling away at her self-worth. So when Paulina’s menopausal journey coincided with the dissolution of her marriage—and unexpected death of her husband—sorrow ripped her open. Through it all, she saw her past for what it was: a lifetime of being objectified. Now 56, Paulina has broken free, discovering that the loss of her child-bearing body has allowed her to find the most interesting version of herself: stronger, more beautiful, smarter, more patient, wiser, and funnier. “And this is where you don’t want to see me anymore because I’ve aged out of being physically appealing to you. Well maybe if I shout loud enough, ‘Fuck you! That is not so!’ somebody will take notice.” Watch Paulina’s video to see how the rebel yell of menopause has allowed her to truly find her voice.
