Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale with Satori Shakoor
Satori Shakoor: Podcast Interview
===
[00:00:00] We're you, we're me, we're, you know,
we are the largest demographic
in the United States
and doctors only get
one hour of training in menopause.
So that means that there are very few,
doctors trained in
something that every woman
will go through, and
the largest demographic
of women are in some stage of it,
but there aren't enough doctors
to accurately diagnosed.
Or give us any kind of remedy or direction.
Some women are on a waiting list for
over a year to talk to a
qualified, certified, menopausal doctor.
So Governor Whitmer is going across
the state of Michigan.
And she has panels of
storyteller like myself,
menopause doctors, researchers,
psychologists,
sex therapists who are there
to answer the questions
of women who come
and believe me,
they don't even wanna leave
because it's the first
time [00:01:00] that they're in a
group and they can
relate to each other and
they have questions because
every woman's body is different.
And some of the things
that the doctors
are telling them or
not telling them aren't
satisfying or they don't
lead to any kind of solution.
So I'm proud to be
part of that because
they're trying to,
the senators, the commissioners,
the legislators want to
create this awareness
so that we can
have health insurance.
'cause it can be very expensive
trying to understand
what this is and get treatment for it.
Hello, and welcome to the
Midwifery Wisdom Podcast.
I am Shiphrah, a student midwife or
[00:02:00] storyteller of many of things,
and I have the pleasure,
the wonderful pleasure today of
having, Satori Shakoor here with us.
A storyteller, a writer, an actress,
even someone who have
created a wonderful film,
The confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale
that tells her story, tells the story that many
of us women that can connect to and
will connect to in our future.
Satori once again, thank you
for being here with us
Please, please tell us a
little bit more about yourself
and the work that you do.
Thank you so much for having me.
I appreciate being able to,
have a conversation
with you and your listening audience.
I am so proud of,
making this film because
making a film,
you probably have heard or known if you've
made a film yourself that
it is a long process and,
so this film was really,
it didn't start out to be a film.
It started out [00:03:00] as a promise to my younger self
when I was having symptoms
of perimenopause.
Which were heart palpitations,
mood swings, night sweats, insomnia,
heavy periods, light period.
Just this whole, not wondering who am I?
And um, and I would ask older women around me,
What's going on and what is the change?
What is menopause?
And either, my mother would say,
I don't remember.
Other older women would say,
well, I'm too young. I clearly they weren't,
they just didn't wanna age themselves.
And other women would actually say,
I refuse to go through menopause.
And I'm thinking, well, if
you're lucky enough to live,
you know, long you, it's inevitable that
you'll go through this period, if not sooner,
if it's not interrupted by a
hysterectomy or something like that.
Because it was so
Off-putting such a [00:04:00] life altering.
Experience over the 12 years.
I wanted to leave
something for the younger
women coming behind me,
but I realized I couldn't write about it while
I was going through it because there were so
many different phases of it
that I had to get to the other side.
And once I got to the other side,
I began to write about it in 2018.
And as I wrote about it,
I began to say, oh, this is.
This is a story.
This is a play.
And as I began to do my research and work
with different mothers or organizations,
governmental organization or
healthcare initiatives,
I began to hear the stories of mothers
who had gone through,
postpartum depression, which it was
something that I'd gone through too.
And I realized this story is
bigger than just menopause.
This is the biological hormonal journey of
what it is to be a woman,
starting with a young girl
come having her period.
But it [00:05:00] also tells the story of once we start
to enter womanhood and
have our period automatically,
there is shame attached to it.
Mm-hmm. We clean, we have to hide.
We are embarrassed if there's a
bit of blood on the back of our dress.
We are always trying to
hide a natural, progression
and evolution of ourselves.
When I became a mother,
there was no one talking
about postpartum, not even my doctor.
So, when I looked at other mothers,
they looked perfect, they looked happy,
and so I felt ashamed.
Why aren't I bonding with my child?
You know? And so it's the
fact that women don't talk.
And then when I became perimenopausal
and ask around as I was sharing with you,
women would be in a sort of denial because
when we are viewed through a patriarchal lens,
which I believe is unhealthy and limiting to
both men, women, [00:06:00] children,
and the society at large,
because it only allows each of us to
play out a very limited roles.
And it reduces our lived experience down to,
for women being perky, juicy, and
able to reproduce babies for men.
They're only allowed about three emotions,
anger, violence, and
maybe something else, you know?
So that's not healthy.
And if men operate anywhere outside of those.
What's deemed masculine, they are sort of
punished or labeled being weak, simps, gay,
whatever they wanna label that man as
so that man has to conform,
adapt to being something they're really not.
And the same goes for women and we
pass that down.
To our children and therefore generations
move forward with this same
sort of unhealthy [00:07:00] mindset.
But what I discovered as
I moved through the process
of perimenopause, menopause, and
coming to the other side,
what I found was that,
that a profound gift of
defining myself, of freedom
Of full self-expression, of owning the
accomplishments and successes and regrets.
And things I wish that had gone differently,
owning it, putting to rest,
forgiving myself until my
past was all rolled up.
It had no power over me to influence
shame or any of those things.
It just had the power.
To make me more compassionate,
more empathetic, more understanding,
and it made a bigger me.
So when I move into my future,
all there is is possibility.
All there is is the confidence to know that whatever
I say I'm going to do and commit to doing it,
I can do it. So making a [00:08:00] film was something
I said I could do. I committed to doing it and
even though I had never made a film before,
didn't know I, I'm a theater artist,
so I knew that world.
But in terms of film and all of that,
I had where are the directors?
What's the, where are the distributors?
I had no idea.
So I had to, I had to attract that to me by
way of just sharing, I wanna make a film,
Any directors,
any distributors, you know what should I do?
What should I do? What should I do? And then.
You know, I've spent a lot of
money making a lot of mistakes,
which I have translated into investments in
learning, and, but at the end of the day,
I'm very proud to say
Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale
is now accessible globally.
To men and women and anyone who wants
to watch it on, Amazon Prime, Apple TV Plus
and Google Play.
And it's, it's, [00:09:00] it was released June 12th
and it's been getting rave reviews.
People are writing their
reviews and Rotten tomatoes
and some of the reviews bring me to tears
because whenever you create anything,
you have what you would
like the audience to take from it.
But like any piece of art, what people actually
take from it could be
what you intend, but they take
so many other things and the other things
that they take sort of educate you, inform you,
and bless you with, oh, this is
bigger than what I even thought.
I just shared myself and I shared myself
in an honest, vulnerable way,
which turns out to be very raw 'cause life
and our experiences in life can be very raw.
I didn't attempt to, you know,
put a tuxedo on it or a ballroom dress on it.
If it was raw, it was raw.
[00:10:00] If it was painful, it was painful.
If it was, redemptive, it was redemptive.
And if it was funny. It was funny.
I feel so. Good. And not only that,
I have become part of the
Michigan Women's Commission.
They call me to do panels.
They're gonna be doing sort of a rollout
of my film in October. So I'm working with them.
Cheryl Bergman, the
Governor Whitmer here in Michigan,
Halle Berry came 'cause she's
established herself as the face
and the voice for menopausal women.
She's as perfect as anyone
can be. 'cause she's young.
She's sexy. And so if you wanna take a
look at what menopause looks like,
you wanna look like that, okay?
It is not this haggard old ratchety ratchety.
Crony woman that society wants to paint us
as we're vibrant.
We're out there [00:11:00] producing work, we're out there,
we're running for president.
We're governors of state.
We're you, we're me, we're, you know,
we are the largest demographic
in the United States
and doctors only get one hour of training.
in Menopause.
So that means that there are very few,
doctors trained in something that every woman
will go through, and the largest demographic
of women are in some stage of it,
but there aren't enough
doctors to accurately diagnosed.
Or give us any kind of remedy or direction.
Some women are on a waiting list for
over a year to talk to a qualified,
certified, menopausal doctor.
So Governor Whitmer is going across
the state of Michigan.
And she has panels of storyteller like myself,
menopause doctors, researchers,
psychologists, sex therapists who are there
to answer the questions of women who [00:12:00] come
and believe me, they don't even wanna leave
because it's the first time that they're in a
group and they can relate to each other and
they have questions because
every woman's body is different.
And some of the things that the doctors
are telling them or not telling them aren't
satisfying or they don't lead to any kind of solution.
So I'm proud to be part of that because
they're trying to, the senators, the commissioners,
the legislators want to create this awareness
so that we can have health insurance.
'cause it can be very expensive
trying to understand
what this is and get treatment for it.
Because these hot flashes aren't just
things to be laughed at.
They can lead to breast cancer, heart disease,
and other things we don't expect.
It is a time of life that self-care, healthcare
and all those things are, we should [00:13:00] demand
so that they aren't difficult, to navigate
and that we can enjoy the benefits of what
this stage of life, is offered and can offer us.
I am proud to use, my purpose, my calling
and my gifts to facilitate.
And help, women talk about this, right?
And we are now talking about
it, but to be, to have something
out there regardless, that doesn't
just focus on pharmaceuticals,
but actually share.
One person, one woman's
experience of being a woman,
a mother, someone who is creative
and is now in post menopause and
can attest that we should be celebrating this.
It should be a rite of passage.
We should be the first to
stand up in any room and say,
Hey, hey, I've arrived. I've arrived at my
destiny of giving birth to myself.
And now I wanna see who I'm gonna [00:14:00] be
as I move forward in, in this next stage
of life, how I can be of service, to my community,
to my children, to my grandchildren, to the world.
In 2012,
after I crawled back from the numb of hell,
From the death of my mother in 2006
and nine months later, the death of my son.
Six years later, I'm crawling back just feeling those
that inner stirring of life.
And I noticed that in Detroit,
Detroit was also coming
back from emergency management,
water shut off flint water crisis, gentrification,
disappearing tax base, and then I could
see the burgeoning signs of life.
And I thought, wow, if storytelling could
begin to heal me, forgive me me a viable,
contributing human being.
Could he do the same for the city of Detroit?
And that idea became so [00:15:00] delicious that
I created a storytelling platform called
The Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers.
And we're moving into our 14th year
where we curate four storytellers,
musical performance and a dance performance on a theme.
And people come up and they tell their true
and personal stories, which is like.
A gift that they're giving to the listening audience that you,
I'm sharing my experience with you,
and we can connect and create a community
just out of the, out of my
words, out of my experience.
Oh, I had that same thing happen to me.
I have some questions.
Example, we had a woman come up and tell her story.
Of being diagnosed with lupus 20 years before,
a woman in the audience who had just been
diagnosed with lupus, rushed to her after the
story and she could share, oh,
this what happened in my first year,
fifth year, [00:16:00] you're gonna be all right.
Right? And so I don't know whether.
When somebody is diagnosed with something
that may be scary and someone else has been
living through it and they're vibrant and beautiful
and they say, you're gonna be all right,
what that does to your soul.
But just to have someone who has gone
through that experience and can sort of
assure you and support you,
in a way that you didn't, that you wouldn't
have known before. But we have to tell our stories.
We have to share ourselves. 'cause if we don't,
we're somebody that looks good and
smells good, but no one knows who we are
and we may disappear from the earth.
And it's like they talk about libraries.
Disappearing. Like when, when a life goes,
we wanna leave a legacy of,
who we are and what we've done
so that these younger people coming behind
us can access it and go, oh my God.
Here's a blueprint, here's a roadmap.
Here's [00:17:00] something that maybe I can use
to direct my path or give me some ideas of how to navigate.
And, I think that's what every society
has done since the beginning of time.
But somehow here in the United States and America,
we have lost that, ability because we have
lost that connection and community to share our stories.
We allow talking heads and other people to tell our stories,
which we end up as a one dimensional extra,
and oftentimes an afterthought is
somebody else's story about us.
They have no access to what it smelled like
when I walked in that room, how I felt when
I looked across there and saw him for the first time
when my baby was born and looked up at me,
with those eyes like mommy.
Or when wrote my first article
and someone said, I wanna publish it.
Or all [00:18:00] the many things, the joys, the ups
and downs that human beings go through.
We get to share that and validate ourselves
over and infinitely as human beings
that we can connect with and have our
lives be more enriched by.
You know the word midwifery simply means with women.
With that, I appreciate and thank you
for your works that you have imparted on this
earth to be with women, to support women,
to give us a hand, to hold, to get through the
stories of our own lives.
That is a huge and revolutionary work, and
we appreciate you for leaving,
us with this library of experiences and stories
that we can relate to and grow
with in all phases of life.
And you know, to, if I was to take it,
I guess moment by moment or a section
of your life at a time, menopause and post menopause
being where you are,
if I back it up and not to tell [00:19:00] too much of the film,
but you do also speak about, like you mentioned,
childbirth and postpartum and some of the symptoms
and the mental health that relates to that part of your life.
As a younger woman myself,
I am just gaining information about
menopause that I could, relate to. Right.
Motherhood and childbearing.
And you mentioned some of the symptoms,
you know, the heart palpitations and the
various things that relate to menopause,
but how much of that is similar
to the postpartum experience?
Does it prepare you for womanhood later in life?
Every woman doesn't have postpartum,
and postpartum is more of a. psychosis.
Mm-hmm. It's more of a mental,
it's more of a mental emotional thing.
You don't feel bonded to your child.
In my case, I could hear voices,
that wanted me to distance even [00:20:00] more from my child.
I, I have heard and wanted me to harm my child
is to get rid of this thing that's, causing my life so much grief.
And I have, worked with women who.
Have told stories of their postpartum,
depression where they brought the baby home
and then the next day went out to their cars,
put the baby in the car seat, drove to the hospital
and said, here, take the baby back.
Or they dropped the baby, at a fire station,
a church, or, you know, all these,
or sometimes they would harm,
actually harm the child.
And you think it's you, but
it's a psychosis that happens.
It's a depression, and it comes as a result
of maybe other factors going on at the
same time in your life, and so you don't know.
Now they know. In fact, my niece,
when she gave birth, they gave her a list of 10 things and [00:21:00] said,
if you experience three of these.
Call your doctor. So we have a pedicure,
and she was just talking and she was like,
yeah, I wanna take Taj back to his father.
You know, I wanna throw him against the wall.
She was just, and I said, you have postpartum depression.
Oh yeah. My doctor gave me this list and he said,
if three things, I said, how many
are you going through? She said, more than three.
Talk to your doctor. She did.
And she was able to deal with it and get
herself back on course, but untreated,
it just continues to get, worse in some cases.
In some cases, it, it self corrects. Okay?
If think conditions of your life don't improve,
the depression keeps dragging down on you.
Which it did. Which it did in my case, but.
One thing about a mother, she always wants
to protect her child, [00:22:00] even if she has to protect
the child from herself.
And then you carry, and then when
I discovered that's what it was, years later,
another grief hit me like, oh my goodness.
Had I known this,
I could have been a mother, a real mother.
And so then there's the, then there's that.
But to get to a moment in your life where you can
look back at that, a story that
you could not tell. It was just,
the judgment that I had of myself was so severe.
That it was, I did not want anyone to judge
me more harshly and they, how could they
even judge me more harshly?
But then, but then arriving here and speaking
to other people and hearing their stories freed
me to tell my own and actually,
made it an imperative for me to share it
so [00:23:00] that if other women heard it and they were
having these same thoughts and feelings and.
That would silence them.
They could also know they were not alone and
that they could get the kind of support and
help they needed to move through it gracefully.
Right.
And that's the whole mission.
It is, you know, even in the story,
you speak up with your niece.
I'm grateful that we have the resources
to be able to reach out to our doctors.
They're giving women a list now,
you know, midwives.
You know, something I can relate to.
You know, we're having those conversations
of what to expect, not only for and with the mother now,
you know, we are having a conversation
with anyone who's gonna be in her immediate vicinity
to recognize things and give them the empowerment to,
work with the mom and also work with
us to help get her back to her, her own self.
Um, but it is also just powerful to have people
in your community who you can rely on.
I think it's kind of a stigma within.
For women and especially black women,
to not even [00:24:00] want to have something be wrong,
to need to reach out to the doctor,
even if the doctor gave you the list of
10 things or three things that you can refer to.
So it's really empowering to hear that you are an
advocate for your niece in recognition, right,
of what this thing is to empower her that like,
no, there is something here going on and there's
also something you can do about it.
And helping her get on the road to getting
back to her normal self.
So is the midwife the same as a doula?
It is not. It is not.
Job is maternal support.
They don't do any medical or clinical care.
Most of their job is centered around education, right?
They can be educational on what to expect
from childbirth, how to uncover, and then
just physically comforting and supporting you
throughout your labor no matter what kind of birth you had.
You know, I was a doula for five years before
I started my education into midwifery.
And I'll support women who are having a
non-medicated home birth with midwives,
women who are having [00:25:00] a cesarean.
I'll go support them emotionally and educationally
in the operating room.
Women who are doing hospital birth
with medication, all forms of birth.
So just support and being a advocate in there
who understands what's going on and able to
communicate to the mothers, like,
Hey, this is what's going on. This is what is emergent.
Here's your options. And just kind of being,
like I said, their advocate and their support person,
and then helping them recover.
Oftentimes, the doula comes into the home
and helps the ship stay afloat, as I say.
As a mother's in recovery, that can be a lot of things.
It can be just talking to her about where she is mentally,
you know, and helping that ship stay afloat.
It could be helping her household stay afloat,
whether that's taking care of the older kids,
cleaning, making sure she's eating things of that nature.
So we think doula, the word support and
education should come to mind.
Whereas a midwife, every, no doula can be a midwife,
but every midwife can be a doula.
Meaning that every midwife should be able to
educate and support,
but they [00:26:00] also have the clinical or medical knowledge
of how to care for a mother.
So the midwife is doing the prenatal care.
So whereas if you have an OB.
You're going to the medical office,
do your prenatal appointments,
have your baby at the hospital,
and then possibly go back to the OB office for postpartum.
The midwife is doing all of that
prenatal care instead of the ob.
So we see you throughout the entire pregnancy.
The midwife, assists in delivering your baby
or catching your baby or assist the father in
whomever you want to catch your baby
and make sure that you stay medically,
healthy immediately after birth, and then
come see you for all clinical support or you
come see her for all clinical support after.
So it's just a higher level of care from the
midwife and what led you and inspired you
to be of such a profound service to other women.
I think it's a very similar concept of what you do.
There's a way for all of us to be with women,
and I think we all kind of go [00:27:00] through our lives
of figuring out how we can show up for one another.
For some of us, our entire mission
is just being a good mom and we're with our
children and making sure we making a positive
impact on society through who we raise.
Right. For some people it is their writing
or the music that they make or whatever you
put out in the world. And for me,
I came to the conclusion that one of the
most impactful times in people's lives is when
they enter into parenthood and how you are supported, how you are educated.
Um. How you are treated in that moment and
beyond can change the course of your entire life.
And I'm speaking from my own experience as well,
and I've seen way too many instances,
and particularly in the hospital system where
what is one of the most impactful days and
moments of your life is just treated like
just another day at work by the individuals who is managing it.
I wanted to be one of those individuals
who impacted for the better. [00:28:00] As a doula,
I feel like I only could do a certain percentage
of that because being nonclinical,
meaning that I'm not managing your actual care,
I'm just taking care of you, I only could do as
much as was allowed. Whereas when I,
as you know, the future midwife and
the student midwife in this case.
Managing your actual care, I can impact
the entire experience for the better.
I can be the provider who listens to you.
I can be the provider who provides you with information.
I can be the provider who, makes you understand
that postpartum psychosis, for example,
is an experience that is not any wrongdoing
of your own and give you the resources
to be properly supported through it.
Right? So I chose midwifery to impact women deeply.
To impact the children who were impacted
by those women to impact the fathers.
That's just my version of being with women
and I hope that I can stick with many of
families through many of generations. Wow.
And do you share,
do you tell your story [00:29:00] and,
others to multiply yourself through other women?
I do. So funny. I'm really
appreciating hearing the impact that you're
making on the world. I'm actually
making a film as well.
Oh, okay. I have the pleasure of being married
to a videographer and journalist.
Okay. I also have kind of had a life of entertainment
and you know, did theater and all the things.
Right? So you marry all that together.
It's like, well, how do you tell this impactful story?
And the only way that I knew how to.
Condense it all in a receivable way was
to put it into them, or a documentary, if you will.
Individuals who have had different
experiences to be able to tell their story
and then inter intertwine in my story with it.
Even just being vocal on, you know
, the things that relate to society,
that they being vocal on social media, like,
Hey, life is hard. Here's how we can get through it together.
Here's how I got through it.
So I've always been just very vocal about
the various experiences of mine,
whether it's been on social media or
being a YouTube blogger.
I believe that [00:30:00] telling your story, like you're
telling your story, like you said, leaves a legacy
and leaves just enough information for
someone to grasp on and figure out.
What can I do next? Or what can I take
from her story and then make my story
even more, smooth or
where can I start?
So absolutely what you're doing is
revolutionary work and absolute need.
And I'm very excited to be able to use this platform
to be able to say, Hey.
This movie is found on Amazon Prime and Google Play,
you know, and all the places because women and families,
not just women, need to hear this story
because the feminine experience is not
centered on just how we live our individual lives.
It's also about how people perceive us
and what they think menopause and childbearing
and all the things is.
So I encourage all individuals listen
to be able to go access.
Your film and be able to have an understanding
ear and kind just change the perception on
womanhood and menopause and aging and all the things.
[00:31:00] Well, thank you for your service.
Thank you. Thank you.
You know the name of your film or what it's gonna be, or is it
so mine is centered around becoming a midwife.
So right now it's just becoming midwife.
And that may grow with time.
I'm definitely in the early phases of just
what the end production is going to be.
Um, but becoming midwife really is just a,
it's centered around my journey of being
able to become a midwife, but it really tells the
struggles that I think a lot of us can relate to in various,
in instances of our life, how there's just not
enough information and resources to
help us get from point A to point B.
How being a woman.
Or individual even who have aspirations to
change the world for the better.
But then also having your own personal
responsibility to take care of, like how do you impact
the world and then carry the full load that
you have to carry for yourself as well.
There's just so much more we can do
for each other in Unity to just help society.
And I happen to center mine around like,
Why [00:32:00] this is so hard to become a person
who just wants to help people.
But I'm sure we could take that same
concept of what could unity in our community
do to just get us further?
Mine happens to be sensed around
my journey of becoming a midwife,
but it's really just about wanting to be,
wanting to create resources in our community.
And the resource I'm creating is clinical care
for women in maternity, but, and so is it a documentary
or a narrative? A documentary.
A growing experience.
So okay, we'll see.
Maybe it'll start off with a documentary
approach through interviews and then have a
shifting more narrative approach at the end.
And that's the beauty of art, right?
That it has the ability to change.
You mentioned that when you started out that
you weren't necessarily making a film
and then all the pieces fell into place where
this is how the story needed to be told.
So, very much so. Still looking.
When I finished writing it, I realized.
Oh, this is, I cannot perform this eight
[00:33:00] shows a week in theater.
It's exhausting emotionally.
Yeah. So I thought, oh, it would be
probably more impactful if I could film
three performances, make a film,
and then it, I could distribute it globally.
And uh, and if anyone wanted to perform it.
Or make a narrative piece where there
are people actually playing the different characters
and all that, that could happen.
But, eight shows a week.
As a discipline for theater, the matinee.
I just, I, no, it just, as an artist yourself, you,
you realize that, that we keep our minds open.
They're flexible and take in the messages
and directives that the piece of art,
we are creating feedback to us, right?
So it starts out this way, but in the end it
may be something completely different
and you're happy with it.
This is true. This is true. And with that,
once again, I want [00:34:00] to express my
gratitude for you putting your art into a way
that we all can receive, right?
I can just imagine if you did this live a few times
and I didn't have the opportunity to view it.
So for our audience today, who is listening,
once again, this stem can be found.
On multiple sources, Amazon Prime,
apple Plus Google Play.
I do encourage you to go and look it up.
It is a beautiful piece of telling the story
of not only Satori herself, but truly
a story that we all can relate to the
Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale
It's out. It is there for the world to view.
Share it with your community,
share it with your family. Watch it yourself.
Thank you again, Satori for sharing your story with us.
Is there any final message that you want to
share with our audience about your work
and what you hope that they take from?
Yeah, well first of all, you can visit my website,

to all the places you can watch.
But basically, I would just like to say [00:35:00] that

don't just breathe.
Be alive every moment of your life.
That's a beautiful message.
