Menopausal rage doesn't look like garden-variety irritability — it feels like a ticking time bomb, and almost no one is talking about it. This week, Heather and Lisa sit down with Dr. Sarah Berg, a board-certified OB-GYN, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and founder of Selfority, a platform offering menopause education courses and workplace training, to unpack the symptom she first wrote about for TIME.

Dr. Berg explains why rage gets missed in the exam room, why it's costing women their careers at the exact moment they're hitting their stride, and why the medical system's failure to identify less common menopause symptoms carries a steep financial and emotional toll for women. She also digs into the layer that didn't get enough attention in her original article: how bias shapes the way women of color's anger is perceived and treated differently in the workplace. It's a candid, validating conversation for anyone who's ever lost it on a family member, friend or colleague and then spent days wondering what was wrong with them.
