Audacy is launching a new podcast series called unPAUSED, hosted by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, a board-certified OB-GYN and menopause advocate. As a bestselling author and Certified Menopause Practitioner, Dr. Haver brings expert insight into the realities of women’s health in the second half of life.
The show will feature candid, unfiltered discussions with a variety of guests, from top researchers and CEOs to well-known celebrities, diving deep into what it really takes for women to thrive during midlife and beyond.
The podcast aims to fill a critical gap in women’s health conversations, offering more than just clinical advice or hormone-focused discussions. It will explore topics like identity, purpose, financial health, relationships, longevity, and the often-overlooked challenges women face in midlife.
The show’s debut episodes, released on October 21, 2025, will feature Dr. Avrum Bluming and Carol Tavris, authors of Estrogen Matters, talking about hormone replacement therapy. Episode 2 will feature comedian and actress Leanne Morgan.
In addition to these experts, unPAUSED will have appearances from a wide range of influential voices, including Naomi Watts, Dr. Vonda Wright, Bobbi Brown, and Tamsen Fadal. They’ll discuss everything from menopause and self-care to navigating the cultural pressures that accompany aging.
Dr. Haver, who founded The ‘Pause Life—a holistic approach to menopause education—and The ‘Pause Wellness, a clinical practice dedicated to evidence-based care, explains, “I started unPAUSED because women deserve better.
They’re starving for education, truth, and a community that really sees them.” She continues to shape the conversation on menopause through her books, including The New Menopause, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller in 2024. Her next book, The New Perimenopause, is due for release in 2026.
The podcast is available on YouTube and all major podcast platforms, offering an empowering, real, and science-backed perspective on midlife health for women everywhere.
