19. Rest, Rage + Reinvention: Midlife Medicine with Dr. Sarah Poldmae

19. Rest, Rage + Reinvention: Midlife Medicine with Dr. Sarah Poldmae

In this soul-nourishing episode of The Feminine Rebellion, Natty Frasca welcomes Dr. Sara Poldmae - Doctor of Acupuncture, Functional Medicine practitioner, yogi, and host of Menopause Rise and Thrive - for a no-holds-barred conversation on how women can feel good again in midlife.

From hot flashes to hormone shifts, rage to rest, Dr. Sara unpacks the intersection of medicine, mindset, and personal power.


You’ll hear how napping is actually radical self-care, how liver health connects to emotional suppression (hello, 1–3 a.m. wakeups), and why regulating your nervous system might be the secret to getting your mojo back.

If you’re navigating midlife and wondering, “Is this it?”—this episode is your permission slip to reclaim your energy, pleasure, and power.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Why so many women feel stuck in midlife—and how to get unstuck

  • The surprising power of naps (yes, daily naps!) for hormonal health

  • What your 1–3 a.m. wakeups might be trying to tell you

  • Alcohol, estrogen, and the liver: what every woman should know

  • How to shift from symptom-focused living to whole-self healing

  • Why rest, mindset, and meditation are essential medicine

  • Dr. Sara’s real talk on antidepressants, emotional suppression, and feeling truly alive
