The Menowave Lounge: Hot Flashes and Cool Conversations Podcast

In this episode of The Menowave Lounge: Hot Flashes and Cool Conversations, host Robin Duke sits down with Debbie Francis — Certified Organic Formulator, holistic wellness educator, and founder of Refleurish Organics.

What started as a personal solution for vaginal dryness during menopause led Debbie to a profound mission: helping women feel empowered, informed, and intimately connected through all-natural self-care.

Debbie shares her journey from DIY coconut oil remedies to launching a wellness brand that educates women on what’s really in their products — and how to choose ingredients that nourish, not disrupt, our hormonal health.

From the hidden toxins in “natural” skincare to the emotional layers of intimacy in menopause, this conversation is rich with insight, heart, and practical wisdom.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • What it means to be a Certified Organic Formulator — and why that matters
  • How petrochemicals and synthetic ingredients impact hormone balance
  • The truth about “natural” vs. “organic” — and how to spot greenwashing
  • Why menopause can disrupt intimacy — and how to gently restore it
  • The “5 Re’s” framework to reconnect with your body, identity, and joy
  • How to build a skincare and intimacy routine that truly supports you

Debbie also shares a free Ingredient Checklist to help you decode product labels and make empowered choices, plus a sneak peek at what’s ahead for Refleurish Organics — including new product scents and a special live Q&A.

Ready to reconnect with your body and reimagine self-care as an act of joy? This one’s for you.
