Welcome back to the Midlife with Mindy and Meg series! Sorta Awesome regular Mindy Brouse is back, and this week, she brought the Perimenopause Critters with her! She and Meg are exploring the many conflicted feelings and paradoxes of this stage of life. From not recognizing our own bodies to feeling guilt over anti-aging products, from hearing advice from all sides and not knowing who to trust, this very candid conversation brings so much to the surface. All those things you thought you couldn’t say out loud? Mindy and Meg have created a safe place to have THOSE conversations!
