Episode 16: Marcy and Griselle Talk About Aging Gracefully
Today, we are going to broach a subject that no one ever seems to talk about and something we would like to pretend doesn’t happen to us: aging and the change of life. In this episode, Marcy opens up about when she first started experiencing symptoms of menopause, how the hormonal changes affected her life, and how it was hard for her to talk about what she was going through when she first opened up to Griselle on a birthday trip they took together. Griselle shares her own symptoms and experience with menopause and our hosts debunk a lot of commonly held misperceptions about what menopause is all about: it’s not just hot flushes and a decreased sex drive! While the symptoms can be very unpleasant, Marcy believes that the worst thing about menopause is simply the fact that people don’t talk about it. She also shares how she approached her doctor for help and how she now manages her symptoms. We all want to feel good and be productive well into our old age and, in order to help each other achieve this, we need to normalize discussions like this one. For this candid and necessary conversation that will help you to prepare for the inevitable and age gracefully, tune in today!
