ON PAUSE:Kitchen Conversations is
a premium lifestyle series changing the conversation around menopause, from just surviving it to thriving, celebrating, and embracing
what comes next.
It's where Broadway legends, entertainers, physicians, entrepreneurs, wellness experts,
and extraordinary women pull up
a chair and get honest about what perimenopause, menopause,
and everything after really feel like.
Broadway icon and Grammy winner Brenda Braxton hosts with Broadway veteran, chef, and wellness advocate Bahiyah Hibah.
Every episode starts in the kitchen, where Bahiyah cooks one of her signature bites and the talk gets
going. Then everyone settles into
The PAUSE Lounge, where the stories go deeper and the laughs get louder. It's warm, it's funny, and it's the kind of honesty daytime TV usually skips.
And the audience is enormous. More than a billion women worldwide are living through perimenopause, menopause, or the years after, with 47 million entering this stage every year. In the U.S. alone, roughly 75 million women are navigating it right now, about 1.3 million reaching menopause annually. For too long,
no one has made television for US.

Brenda is Broadway royalty. She earned a Tony nomination for Smokey Joe's Cafe, won a Grammy, and was unforgettable as Velma Kelly in Chicago, with Cats, Guys and Dolls, and the original Dreamgirls behind her. On screen, you've seen her in Smash, Nurse Jackie, and The Good Fight.
Now she's pouring all of it into women in midlife. She founded PAUSE by BBRAXTON, a menopause and travel brand built on the belief that comfort and style shouldn't cancel each other out, and created the On PAUSE platform this show grows out of. Her message is simple: this stage of life is something to redefine, not dread.

Bahiyah is a Juilliard-trained dancer (BFA in Dance) and a 20+ year veteran of the stage.
A former member of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, a nine-time Broadway performer, most recently in Moulin Rouge. She's also a chef specializing in performance nutrition and longevity, and the founder of Bahiyah Bites, a platform living at the intersection of artistry, culinary practice,
and wellness.
Her whole body of work is rooted in one throughline: the body is a vessel worth fueling well, and rest and nourishment are what let artistry make sense. On ON PAUSE, she brings that honesty into the kitchen, cooking and talking through menopause and reinvention alongside Brenda.
