PHILADELPHIA, PA – October 20, 2025 – Audacy today announced the launch of “unPAUSED,” a weekly podcast series hosted by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, MD, FACOG, MSCP, board-certified OB-GYN, Certified Menopause Practitioner, and #1 New York Times bestselling author. Haver and guests, including top researchers, CEOs, and celebrities, will have bold, unfiltered conversations about what it really takes for women to thrive in the second half of life. 

“unPAUSED” will launch with two episodes on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, on YouTube and everywhere podcasts are available. Listen to the trailer and follow the show here. Episode 1 will feature Dr. Avrum Bluming, MD and Carol Tavris, PhD, authors of “Estrogen Matters” and experts on HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Episode 2 will feature comedian/actress Leanne Morgan. 

“unPAUSED” picks up where traditional medicine and mainstream narratives leave off. The series is rooted in science, but is about much more than lab values and hormones – it’s about telling the full story of women’s lives after reproduction ends: the clinical realities, the cultural pressures, and the evidence-based tools women are using to thrive in midlife and beyond. From identity and purpose to longevity, equity, financial health, sex and relationships, and the gaps in research, care, and policy, no topic will be off-limits.

Guests include: actress and menopause advocate Naomi Watts; orthopedic surgeon and longevity specialist Dr. Vonda Wright;  board-certified endocrinologist and obesity specialist Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen; makeup guru Bobbi Brown; and journalist, bestselling author, speaker, and menopause advocate Tamsen Fadal. 

“I started ‘unPAUSED’ because women deserve better,” said Dr. Mary Claire Haver. “After years of practicing medicine and connecting with millions of women online, one thing stands out: women are starving. Starving for connection. Starving for education. Starving for answers, for truth, for a community that truly sees them. I’m excited to partner with Audacy to bring this show to life for these women and listeners everywhere.” 

“I have never encountered so much excitement about an upcoming show as I have for our partnership with Dr. Haver. Every woman in my life over the age of 40 is enamored with her and how she is shaping the conversation around menopause and women’s health—and at Audacy, so are we,” said Leah Reis-Dennis, Head of Podcasts, Audacy. “Her ability to translate cutting-edge science into real, relatable conversations will empower women to better understand and navigate this vital stage of life. As we continue to expand our powerful slate of content for women, ‘unPAUSED’ offers listeners and our advertising partners a vital combination of authority and accessibility.” 

Dr. Haver is the founder of The ‘Pause Life, a holistic approach to menopause education and support that empowers women through lifestyle-focused strategies, and The ‘Pause Wellness, a clinical practice offering personalized, evidence-based care for women in midlife and beyond. Her most recent book, “The New Menopause,” became a #1 New York Times bestseller in April 2024. Her next book, “The New Perimenopause: An Evidence-Based Guide to Surviving the Zone of Chaos and Feeling Like Yourself Again,” will be published in April 2026.
