Menopodcast Season 1 Episode 14
January 16, 2018 19:39 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBJulia was very emotional this past week, and she did in fact forget to change her patch one day this week, and the two may be related. Sarah went to an event about women’s health, with a cardiologist and a brain scientist - and they were asked about hormone replacement therapy effects on brain and heart. Turns out affects are much lower/smaller with patch or topicals than with ingestibles. We know from reading this book, but it’s still news to people that heart disease is the main killer o...

Julia’s been finishing up the movie project she’s been working on and remarks upon the young people she’s working with and the things they DON’T UNDERSTAND because of the age difference. We talk about the radio we used to listen to back in the 70s on Maui. We talk about the rate of change in the past 20 years. Like when Sarah’s kids were born (1999 and 2003) she still took photos on fi...

January 16, 2018 19:06 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MBAngry Podcast today since we had to reconfigure Garage Band again! Ugh! Should we take the need to reconfigure our tech settings as a metaphor for the reconfiguring of our lives??? Um, we’d rather not. How Hot Was Your Flash? Julia had several hot flashes this week and realized it was because she had not changed her hormone patch when she was supposed to, but once she changed it, she seemed to get back on track. Julia’s considering a job possibly in another country, possibly temporarily....

Menopodcast Season 1 Episode 7
December 01, 2017 19:03 - 37 minutes - 35.6 MBFeeling the disconnect between what menopause is “supposed to be like” and what it is really like for us. It's not a time of free time for us since we’re not retired or with an empty nest - we have children and we’re still working. We are not the oldest parents we know, which is interesting. Bible study - chapter 12 - Building Healthy Bones from the Wisdom of Menopause by the Christianne Northrup - we liked this chapter - found it a good reminder of things to do and not too “scoldy”. Julia...

This is our intro episode and we spend a little time talking about who we are, our menopause, and where we got the name for the podcast.

We discuss the difference between being self-motivated and being selfish. We have decided to “pod what you know,” and that, for us, is menopause. We have dec...
