Ep82: Em Rusciano on Perimenopause, Rage, and Why Women Are Done Staying Quiet
Women are done staying quiet.
This week, Em Rusciano joins Oldmate & Josh for a brutally honest, funny, and deeply real conversation about perimenopause, cultural pressure, female anger, identity, and the stuff women have been expected to endure in silence for far too long.
From sharp comedy to raw truth-telling, this episode dives into why more women are speaking up about midlife, hormones, and the systems that have ignored, dismissed, or minimized their experiences for decades.
It’s hilarious, confronting, honest, and the kind of conversation people need to hear.
And yes — Em also drops an exclusive about her next show you’ll hear first on this episode.
