June 30, 2021 11:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

Like many women my age, when I first came into perimenopause and hot flashes assaulted my body, I didn't know what was happening. But there they were – night and day, relentless. Surprisingly, at that time in my life, I had never had 'the talk' with my mom about what to expect from peri- or menopause so I was unprepared for it. Today, that shouldn't be the case.  Peri- and menopause can hit many in many different ways, but the most common symptom that we all know about is hot flashes. So w...

May 05, 2021 11:00 - 37 minutes - 35.5 MB

When you look in your closet, do you call your clothing confidence into question and fall prey to the same mantra that many women have adopted?
