In Episode 10 of Return to Wisdom, Keshia sits down with Kimberly Ann Johnson; author, somatic guide, and women’s health advocate, to unpack aging, perimenopause, motherhood, and the cultural scripts that shape how women see their bodies. Kimberly challenges the youth-obsessed narrative and the pathologizing of every hormonal fluctuation, arguing for a season-based, community-rooted approach to women’s health.
They explore the “mother rage” discourse, why village support (not quick pharmaceutical fixes) is the real antidote, and how menopause can usher in steadier hormones, clearer boundaries, and elder responsibility. The conversation ranges from repairing family ties and rebuilding intergenerational care, to limits in parenting, and the social costs of Botox/fillers on expression and connection. Expect a forthright, compassionate reframing of aging, from something to resist into something to live into.
