Meet the Women of the Lounge: Andrea

What happens when an idea in the middle of the night turns into a movement?

In this episode of Meet the Women of the Lounge, Dawn turns the mic around and interviews Andrea Knoche, the creator and host of Menopause Love Lounge.

Andrea shares the origin story of how the podcast came to life—from a late-night spark of inspiration to gathering six women who barely knew each other and trusting that something meaningful could grow from the conversation.

They talk about why menopause wasn’t something Andrea ever learned about growing up, why open conversations between women are so important in midlife, and how building the lounge has created unexpected friendships, growth, and connection.

Andrea also opens up about her own journey through reinvention—how menopause has pushed her to listen more closely to her body, ask more questions, and step more fully into her voice. She even shares some of the creative projects and business ideas she’s been quietly dreaming about beyond the podcast.

In this episode:

• The origin story behind Menopause Love Lounge
• What Andrea felt was missing from the menopause conversation
• How six women who barely knew each other built real connection and trust
• What menopause has asked Andrea to become more honest about
• The creative ideas and projects still waiting for their moment

Welcome to the Lounge.

Menopause Love Lounge dives into menopause, perimenopause, hormone health, hormone replacement therapy, adrenal fatigue, hot flashes, and night sweats—and how they intertwine with love, intimacy, identity, midlife relationships, dating, marriage, divorce, libido, and emotional wellness, helping women navigate midlife with confidence, connection, and pleasure.
