Are you experiencing menopause?  Have you been worried about how you are going to feel?  In this episode we dive into learning more about menopause, and all the things that our bodies are going through.

Questions I asked:

  • How can we keep ourselves from succumbing to aging stereotypes?
  • What are some of the typical challenges in middle of life that you find women are faced with?
  • Why is it important to learn as you say to "PIVOT" in midlife? 
  • How do we change the story we tell ourselves?
  • What can we expect in peri-menopause and menopause?
  • How do you help women?
